the purpose of this report is to present a rare case of a fused mandibular lateral incisor with supernumerary tooth with a follow-up for 18-months. a 35-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic with an extraoral sinus tract in the chin. the intraoral diagnosis revealed the fusion of her mandibular lateral incisors. vitality pulp tests were negative for mandibular right central and lat...

This article describes the use of an all ceramic resin-bonded fixed partial denture as a conservative solution for the replacement of an incisor. It is a minimally invasive technique that does not discolor the abutment teeth.

Dental disease and its prevention and treatment comprises approximately 10% of the general equine practitioner’s work. The most common disease affecting the equine hypsodont teeth is the development of dental overgrowths. Brachydont dentition (canines and wolf teeth) are less often diagnosed with dental disease. Gingivitis and periodontal disease as seen in many young horses can affect any toot...

Bimaxillary protrusion in a 28-year-old woman was complicated by multiple missing, restoratively compromised, or hopeless teeth. The maxillary right central incisor had a history of avulsion and replantation that subsequently evolved into generalized external root resorption with Class III mobility and severe loss of the supporting periodontium. This complex malocclusion had a discrepancy index...

When dental implants are malpositioned in relation to the adjacent teeth and alveolar bone or in an excessive buccal or lingual position, the final prosthesis rehabilitation impairs the peri-implant health of the gingival tissues and the aesthetics of the patient. Thus, the purpose of this case was to report and discuss a multidisciplinary protocol for the treatment of a compromised maxillary t...

BACKGROUND: Variations were observed when the same parameter was analyzed in different types of orthodontic diagnostic records affecting our diagnosis and treatment planning. We appraised the linear distance from most prominent point of upper and lower incisors to AB plane from standardized photograph of study models and compare with lateral cephalogram. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 30 sta...

Naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) have a large cortical representation of their behaviorally important front teeth, accounting for 30% of primary somatosensory cortex (SI). Here we investigated the plasticity of this dental representation after the extraction of a single lower tooth. The representation of the contralateral lower incisor normally accounts for approximately 15% of somatosen...

During a survey in a rural area of northern Namibia (South West Africa) in 1988,4-year-old twin boys were seen (Fig 1). One child had a supplemental primary maxillary lateral incisor on the right side; the other had a supplemental primary maxillary incisor on the left side (Figs 2 and 3, see next page). Root length occlusal and panoral radiographs were taken which showed that each child had a s...

With one exception, the English dental literature reveals no report of natal or neonatal teeth associated with anomalous development of their permanent successors. In a singular longitudinal study of 12 infants with natal mandibular incisor teeth, Gardiner reported essentially normal subsequent development, except for one infant with natal mandibular central incisors whose permanent replacement...
