OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE To report a case of the bilateral transposition of the maxillary canines with the premolars in a 17-year-old female with Down syndrome. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 17-year-old female presented with moderate mental retardation; she was short and of small stature, and she had a round cherubic face and a broad forehead. Clinical intraoral examination reveale...

Developmental dental anomalies refer to deviation from the normal size, shape, number or structure of external and internal anatomy of a tooth. Their presence have functional and clinical significance. With no definite reason some dental anomalies may occur commonly in some specific teeth like microdontia in maxillary lateral incisors, dens invaginatus in maxillary lateral incisors, dens evagin...

 Abstract Reports have shown that molars can be distalized successfully with virtually no orthodontic anchorage loss with an intraosseous anchorage, even with fully erupted second molars. The purpose of this study was evaluating the effects of mini-screws as skeletal anchorage for upper molar distalization. In this case series, three patients needing maxillary first molar distalization,...

Congenitally missing teeth (CMT) are among one of the commonly known dental anomalies. The most frequently missing teeth in the permanent dentition, excluding the third molars, are mandibular second premolars and maxillary lateral incisors. Exclusive agenesis of both maxillary canines is an extremely rare occurrence and only a few cases have been reported. Previous studies showed that the preva...

hyperdontia or supernumerary teeth in both arches without any syndromic manifestation are extremely rare. supernumerary teeth are commonly associated with gardner’s syndrome, cleft lip and palate, cleidocranial dysplasia and trichorhinophalangeal syndrome. five cases of non-syndromic multiple premolars of maxillary and mandibular arches in indian patients are presented here. this case series re...

Aim: Modern endodontics has advanced radically in the recent years, and recently, it been focused on concept of mini-invasive treatments. This study aimed to evaluate sections root apices at 1 mm from radiographic apex using a high-resolution CBCT. Materials Methods: The current was performed three different dental centers. One hundred maxillary permanent premolars (50 first 50 s premolars) wer...

INTRODUCTION It is imperative that the endodontic surgeon be knowledgeable of the anatomic dimensions of the surgical site. If cone-beam computed tomography is not available because of location/cost, it is prudent for the clinician to consult a knowledge base for the surgical site. An understanding of the root thickness of maxillary premolars and molars at the preferred level for root resection...
