The aim of the retrospective study was to evaluate the influence of the initial vertical position of the impacted maxillary incisor on spontaneous eruption frequency and timing after surgical removal of the supernumerary tooth. Records of 33 patients with unilateral impaction of upper central incisor caused by supernumerary teeth with the average age 9.58+/-1.54 years were analyzed. Impacted te...

familiarity with the intricacies and variations of root canal morphology is essential for successful endodontic treatment. maxillary central and lateral incisors are known to be single-rooted with one canal, however, this case report describes endodontic treatment of maxillary central and lateral incisors with two buccopalatal root canals.

a 16 year old female was referred to an oral and maxillofacial radiologist for evaluation of a radiolucent area at mesial radicular aspect of right maxillary central incisor which was detected accidentally during pre-orthodontic treatment check ups. clinical examination showed no particular signs or symptoms except for slightly tenderness to lateral percussion. second radiograph with altered ho...

mandibular incisor extraction in carefully selected cases as an alternative option to four bicuspid extraction or non extraction treatment has been advocated. the purpose of this study was to determine the degree of improvement in occlusion in patients with bolton discrepancy treated by one lower incisor extraction using peer assessment rating index (par indexes).pre and post treatment dental c...

This case report describes delayed replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor in a 17-year-old male patient following an injury on fall one day earlier. Avulsed maxillary right permanent central incisor was replanted back into the socket after extra-oral root canal treatment. One year follow up showed validity of treatment, with no evidence of resorption in the replanted tooth.

This report involves two cases of extreme dilaceration of the permanent mandibular incisor teeth. A history of trauma sustained to the primary dentition was elicited in each case. Although a relatively rare condition, several reports have been made regarding dilacerated maxillary incisor teeth. Very few case reports could be found involving dilacerated mandibular teeth.

This case report presents endodontic management of a mandibular lateral incisor with three canals using surgical dental operating microscope. This study describes the root canal variation of mandibular lateral incisor and highlights the importance of surgical operating microscope in detecting an unusual canal morphology.

T he orthodontic literature abounds with speculation on the etiology of incisor crowding as a late (postpubertal) growth phenomenon. Lombardil cites most of the prominently considered factors in his survey of the literature: tooth discrepancies, arch size, interference of canines in lateral excursive movements, overbite, overjet, tooth removal, incisor-mandibular plane angle, type of original o...

CE Incisor malocclusion is common in rabbits. If this condition occurs as an isolated entity at an early age, it probably has a genetic origin. Incisor malocclusion in older animals is usually secondary to, or occurs concomitantly with, premolar–molar malocclusion. Therefore, patients with incisor malocclusion should always receive a comprehensive oral examination. Incisor–premolar–molar malocc...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the width ratio of maxillary anterior teeth according to age in the Korean population and to evaluate the maxillary central incisor width-to-length (W/L) ratio, given differences in age and gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-three Korean adults were divided into 3 groups (n = 31) by age. Group I was 20 - 39 years old, Group II was 40 - 59 yea...
