Occlusal and Dentofacial Characteristics of the Deciduous Dentition and Treatment Effects of the Eruption Guidance Appliance in the Early Mixed Dentition

Treatment of a Horizontally Impacted Permanent Incisor in a 9-Year-Old Girl: A Case Report

Abstract Impaction of maxillary central incisors is not common. Treatment of an impacted central incisor is challenging as it relates to facial esthetics and dental function. Although impaction of permanent teeth is rarely diagnosed in mixed dentition period, an impacted central incisor is usually diagnosed when there is a delay in the eruption of tooth. Tooth impaction may result from...

Serial extraction.

1 HISTORY Bunon (1743): First person to propose that removal of deciduous teeth will achieve a better alignment of permanent teeth, in his book “Essay on diseases of teeth”. Kjellgren (1929): First person to suggest the term “serial extraction” for this procedure. Nance (1940): Father of serial extraction philosophy. He presented the technique of progressive extraction. Palsson (1956): Proposed...

Effect of extraction of permanent first molars on the development and eruption of third molars

BACKGROUND AND AIM: It is required in many young patients that permanent first molars (PFMs) be extracted due to poor prognosis. This study investigates whether the extraction of such teeth is effective on the development of third molars and even their crown and root morphologies.METHODS: A total of 7000 panoramic radiographs were evaluated and 128 radiographs showing a history of extraction of...

Prediction of Mesiodistal Width of Unerupted Lateral Incisors, Canines and Premolars in Orthodontic Patients in Early Mixed Dentition Period

OBJECTIVES Proper diagnosis and prevention of malocclusion are superior to treatment. Discrepancy between arch length and tooth size in mixed dentition period is a condition requiring timely diagnosis. Estimating the mesiodistal width of unerupted teeth according to the size of erupted ones can lead to earlier diagnosis of malocclusion. On the other hand, the best timing for serial extractions ...
