Hutchinson S Teeth

Hutchinson's Teeth

Hutchinson's teeth are characteristic dental changes that are one of the symptoms of congenital syphilis.

The main features of Hutchinson's teeth:

1. Narrow incisors of the upper jaw with chipping and semilunar notches along the edge.

2. The incisors of the lower jaw are also narrow, but without gaps.

3. The incisors have a bevel shape, i.e. erased from the inside.

4. Changes are observed on permanent (adult) teeth.

5. Primary teeth usually have no defects.

The reason for these changes is that syphilis affects a child's developing teeth. Due to impaired blood supply and nutrition to the tissues of the teeth, they erupt defectively.

Hutchinson's teeth were first described by English surgeon Jonathan Hutchinson in 1861 as one of the signs of congenital syphilis. This symptom retains its diagnostic value to this day.

**Getchina's teeth** Goodenow's teeth or otherwise Hutchinson's teeth, also known as “Smooth insertion forceps”. This is the abnormal growth of molars and premolars during pregnancy. Normally, children of this age should only develop baby teeth. If growth proceeds as in adults, that is, molars and premolars, then this indicates a serious condition of the mother and the probable development of a severe congenital disease - syphilis.

When a person develops not 20 but as many as 4-5 milk teeth during intrauterine development, the signs described below may visually appear. Hutchison's teeth may appear immediately after the baby is born. The process of dental growth, according to experts, will be associated with the development of various lesions of the skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs. Also, children who exhibit similar symptoms are more likely than others to be born weakened and painful.

The disease usually manifests itself in the first days and months

Hutchinson's teeth

Hutchinson's teeth - this phenomenon became a famous clinical finding thanks to its description by the Scottish physician Thomas Hutchenson back in 1853.[1] According to him, the width of one of the teeth could be no more than 2 millimeters. He described such a phenomenon among the inhabitants of eastern India. But the question of such pathological narrowing of the teeth has caused a heated debate in medicine. Subsequently, it was proven that the English doctor was simply mistaken and there was no pathology at all.[1]. Getchonso teeth most often occur with congenital syphilis.[2].
