Abstract

Objective: Supernumerary teeth, also called fourth molar, in the mandibular molar region is a rare clinical finding. The reported prevalence of supernumerary teeth is 1.5-3.5% in the permanent dentition and 0.3-0.6% in the deciduous dentition. The supernumerary molars can be divided into two types: distomolars and paramolars.Methods: A 23-year-old female patient presented with symptoms of pericoronitis associated with an unerupted mandibular third molar at the Oral Diagnosis Clinic of the Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital. Periapical radiograph revealed an incidental finding of mandibular distomolar in the region of the left unerupted mandibular third molar.Results: This paper reports an unusual case of mandibular distomolar, incidence and prevalence, etiologic factors and management of mandibular distomolars.Conclusion: Distomolars are a rare clinical finding and are often impacted and located in the maxilla.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this paper was to report two cases and management of Ludwig’s angina in a Nigerian tertiary health facilty.Methods: Ludwig’s angina is an acute onset, potentially life-threatening surgical emergency in young adults that presents with rapidly expanding, diffuse inflammation of the submandibular and sublingual spaces, mostly from odontogenic infections.Results: One of the sequelae is airway compromise. Given the sparse health facilities and poor access to health, we observed an increasing rate of Ludwig’s angina secondary to odontogenic infections in our practice. We present two cases of Ludwig’s Angina arising from delayed dental treatment.Conclusion: Socioeconomic status and unrest due to insurgency have hampered early presentation and management

A convenience sampling technique was used to recruit consenting pregnant women who were continuously enrolled until the calculated sample size was reached. A structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to obtain the socio-demographic and other relevant data. An intraoral examination was performed by the researcher to assess their oral and gingival health status. Results: A total of 350 respondents out of the 376 approached participated in the study giving a response rate of 93.1%. A prevalence rate of gingivitis recorded was 82.3%.Conclusion: Gingivitis is highly prevalent among the pregnant women studied with no significant association between oral hygiene aids used and oral hygiene status. However, there was significant association between oral hygiene status and gingival status.
