Aim. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of transmigrated canines in a north Indian population and association with gender, side, associated pathologies, and dental anomalies. Subjects and methods. The prospective study consisted of panoramic radiographs of 3000 patients from two dental colleges in north India. The panoramic radiographs were screened for radiographically...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of double teeth, hypodontia, microdontia, and hyperdontia of primary teeth in Turkish children. METHODS The study group comprised 1149 children (554 girls, 595 boys). The children were examined in twelve local nurseries in Sivas, Turkiye. Clinical data were collected by four dentists according to Kreiborg criteria; which includes...

To report the oral findings, including dental anomalies, ectopic eruption of the maxillary permanent first molars and periodontal disease and soft tissue alterations, in a subject with Apert syndrome. Clinical and radiographic examination of a patient with Apert syndrome, aged 21 years old, not previously submitted for orthodontic or orthognathic treatment.Dental anomalies were present in a pat...

Developmental anomalies affecting the teeth are often seen in the oral cavity. Abnormalities in the physiological processes of tooth development lead to these anomolies. Talon cusp or dens evaginatus of anterior tooth is one of the dental anomalies affecting the shape of a tooth, in which an accessory cusp like structure projects from the cingulam area or cementoenamel junction.

Dental anomalies of tooth number influencing the development of permanent dentition are quite common, and more numeorus than in the case of primary dentition, however, combined occurrence of hypodontia and hyperdontia is a rare phenomenon, especially in the same dental arch. The purpose of the present report is to describe a case of concomitant hypo-hyperdontia (CHH) in an 8 year-old male with ...

Several morphological anomalies of teeth have been reported along with associated problems of eruption, alignment and susceptibility to dental caries. 1-3 Possible chronological effects of tooth development associated with position on the dental lamina have not been discussed. This paper reports two cases each with maxillary molars developing chronologically midway between the times anticipated...

The important role of genetics has been increasingly recognized in recent years with respect to the understanding of dental anomalies, such as tooth agenesis. The lack of any real insight into the cause of this condition has led us to use a human molecular genetics approach to identify the genes perturbing normal dental development. We are reporting a strategy that can be applied to investigate...

The present report describes a case of Noonan's syndrome from a dental viewpoint. Noonan syndrome is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder. Congenital heart deformities, short stature, thoracic deformities, short neck with webbing, hypertelorism, and malocclusions are some of the frequently observed clinical features. Atypical dental anomalies such as multiple unerupted permanent teeth, mu...

Epidemiological study of the dental health status among population at the age of 35-44, living in the territories polluted with heavy metals salts of low intensity, was conducted. It was established that these people have higher prevalence of parodontal pathologies, dentofacial anomalies and dental retentions. Caries intensity and number of non-erupted teeth is higher.
