Popis: Attention has been drawn to certain radiographic appearances in young jaws which are important indications of disease. Such indications may permit recognition of the nature of the disease, although several abnormalities may produce identical changes. The more important radiographic signs discussed in this article include (1) excessive eruption of partially formed teeth, particularly those having minimum amounts of root formation; (2) asymmetry of the position of developing teeth within their crypts, with or without destruction of some part of the crypt wall; and (3) changes in the bone structure deep to the displaced teeth, including failure of bone formation to embrace the apical portion of the “erupting” teeth. Emphasis has been placed on the tendency for lymphosarcoma to lead to these changes, but consideration also has been given to other causes, which include histiocytosis and leukemia. Some radiographic differential features were considered.
