Bilateral mandibular hamartomas and familial natal teeth

Myxoid calcified hamartoma and natal teeth: A case report

“…These findings were also observed in two of three previously reported cases [2,12]. We found a paucicellular calcified tissue in the center of the lesion that was considered as osteodentin-like; however, others types of calcified tissues as dentin, dentinoid, cementum, and cementoid tissues were described [2,11,12], some of them considered consistent with a poorly formed natal tooth [11,12]. Hayes [2] and Oliveira et al [11] found areas of odontogenic epithelium in the hamartomas reported by them.…”

“…A similar case was published by Oliveira et al [11], with exception that the lesion had been present since birth. Table 1 shows the clinical data of the present case and three other similar cases previously reported [2,11,12].…”

“…We did not find areas of odontogenic epithelium, so we thought to be more appropriate do not include the term ''odontogenic'' in our lesion. Nevertheless, the lesions reported by Sigal et al [12] were named ''mandibular odontogenic hamartomas'' although they also did not find odontogenic epithelium.…”

“…The hamartomatous lesions associated with natal teeth in the mandibular ridge previously reported were classified as odontogenic [2,12] or as gingival fibrous hamartoma [11]. The type, amount and distribution of odontogenic tissues in such lesions were variable.…”

A Trio Discovery—Cardarelli-Riga-Fede Disease: A Case Report and Review of Literature

“…7 It has been subsequently been known as 'Riga-Fede disease'. 6,20 Recently, small ulceration with membrane formation on the under-surface of the tongue in infants with these teeth is further studied by Antonio Cardarelli. So it has been known as Cardarelli's aphthae, Cardarelli's disease, Cardarelli's syndrome.…”
