新奇事件簿 牙医从7岁男孩嘴里取出数百颗牙齿（在线收听）

A dentist in Chennai, India has removed 526 miniature teeth from the mouth of a seven-year-old boy. The boy complained to his mother that he had toothaches. She took the boy to a dentist, who found the boy had hundreds of tiny teeth in a sac (a small, empty space) inside the boy's jaw. The sac was near the molar area at the back of the jaw. Professor Pratibha Ramani, the head of a dental department at the hospital, spoke to reporters about the surgery the little boy had. She told reporters: "The teeth were of variable sizes that ranged from the smallest at 0.1mm to the largest at 3mm. They all had a small crown, enamel and a small root." She said the boy suffered from a very rare dental problem.

印度金奈的一名牙医从一名7岁男孩的嘴里取出了526颗微型牙齿。这个男孩向他的母亲抱怨牙疼。她带着儿子去看牙医，牙医发现小男孩下巴内的一个囊（一个小且空的空间）中有数百颗小牙齿。囊块位于下颌后部的臼齿区附近。医院牙科主任Pratibha Ramani教授跟记者讲述了小男孩的手术。她告诉记者：“牙齿大小不一，从最小的0.1毫米到最大的3毫米不等。它们都有一个小尖点、牙釉质和一个小牙根。”她表示男孩患有一种非常罕见的牙齿问题。

The operation to remove the tiny teeth from the boy's jaw took over five hours. Professor Ramani spoke about how her team of surgeons removed the teeth. She said: "We had to drill down into the top of the lower jaw, make a window and remove the sac." She added: "As the sac was going deeper into the tissue, the size of the teeth was becoming very small." Despite having over 500 teeth in his jaw, the boy did not suffer a lot of pain. Ms Ramani said: "We had to take a lot of counseling sessions with him for him to undergo surgery. We have a very good counseling team who have expertise in dealing with kids." The boy now has 21 teeth. He is doing well and is no longer in pain.

从男孩下巴内取出小牙齿的手术进行了五个多小时。Ramani教授谈到了她的外科医生团队是如何摘除这些牙齿的。她说：“我们必须钻到下颌骨的顶部，开一个口子并移除囊块。”她还说道：“随着囊块深入组织，牙齿也越来越小。”尽管这个男孩的下巴里有500多颗牙齿，但他并没有遭受太多的痛苦。Ramani女士表示：“为了进行手术，我们和他一起开了很多次咨询会议。我们拥有一支非常棒的咨询团队，他们在处理孩子方面很有经验。”现在这个男孩有21颗牙齿。他现在很好，牙齿也不再痛了。
