Transposition may affect both sexes equally and, although it may occur in the maxilla or in the mandible, the frequency of maxillary permanent canine involvement is the greatest [3]. In the maxilla the canine is transposed most frequently with the first premolar (Figure 1a,b), less often with the lateral incisor followed rarely by central incisor or second premolar In the mandible transposition...

In the permanent dentition, the type of congenital missing teeth varies from author to author and the demographic and geographic profiles. In Europeans, the mandibular second premolar is the most frequently absent tooth, followed by the maxillary lateral incisor and the maxillary second premolars (Bergstrom, 1977; Rolling, 1980; O'Dowling & McNamara, 1990; Aasheim & Øgaard, 1993; Nordgarden et ...

This paper describes the clinical course of a pediatric patient developing cervical external root resorption (CERR). An 11-year old male patient had sustained dental trauma and was diagnosed with crown fracture affecting the incisal and middle thirds of the maxillary right permanent central incisor and the maxillary right permanent lateral incisor with pulp exposure and CERR after 24 months. Di...

BACKGROUND Severe maxillary hypoplasia in cleft patients is caused by a combination of pathogenic and iatrogenic factors. In this work, the authors investigated anatomical deficiencies in dentition for predicting Le Fort I maxillary advancement surgery for severe maxillary hypoplasia in cleft patients. METHODS Cleft lip-cleft palate and cleft palate patients older than 14 years of age were re...

Clinical Management of a Maxillary Lateral Incisor With Vital Pulp and Type 3 Dens Invaginatus: A Case Report Sashi Nallapati, BDS A maxillary right lateral incisor with a type 3 dens invaginatus and a large periapical lesion with vital pulp in a separate root canal was treated both nonsurgically and surgically. Care was taken not to expose or devitalize the vital pulp in the main root canal sy...

An adult male patient who had lost his maxillary left central incisor seven years ago in a traffic accident presented with a chief complaint about his unaesthetic appearance associated with the loss of his maxillary left central incisor space, a Class III molar occlusion, and an anterior open bite malocclusion due to tongue-thrust swallowing. Fixed orthodontic treatment was rendered following f...

Talon cusp occurs as a result of disturbances during the morpho-differentiation stage of tooth development. It is more common on the palatal surface of the permanent maxillary incisors. It can be unilateral/bilateral, but can also occur on the same tooth. Only 2 published reports exist documenting talons on both labial and lingual surfaces of the same tooth in permanent incisors. The purpose of...

A family with probable dominant holoprosencephaly is presented with five affected subjects in two sibships, the offspring of healthy sisters who are presumed gene carriers. Of the affected children, three had cebocephaly and died shortly after birth. One had left choanal atresia, retinal coloboma, a single central maxillary incisor, microcephaly, short stature, and learning problems. Another ha...

This article reports an uncommon case of talon cusp on a geminated permanent maxillary central incisor, including details of the clinical and radiographic findings and treatment. A 28-year-old woman presented at the university dental clinic, and intraoral examination revealed a maxillary central incisor of abnormal size with a prominent accessory cusp on the lingual aspect. The case was diagnos...
