supernumerary teeth are defined as the teeth developed in excess of the number found in a normal dentition. supernumerary canine is an extremely rare finding particularly in the mandible. this case report presents a 25-year-old female patient with the unique feature of bilateral mandibular supplemental supernumerary canines. the patient was non-syndromic without any other supernumerary teeth.

background: the aim of this study was to determine the pattern and amount of change exhibited in mandibular intercanine and intermolar width during treatment and assessing its stability1-3 years post-retention. materials and methods: the material consisted of 70 cases of which 20 cases were treated without extraction and 30 cases were treated with extraction, which were compared with 20 untreat...

Two Neandertal specimens from El Sidrón, northern Spain, show evidence of retained left mandibular deciduous canines. These individuals share the same mitochondrial (mtDNA) haplotype indicating they are maternally related and suggesting a potential heritable basis for these dental anomalies. Radiographs and medical CT scans provide evidence of further more extensive dental pathology in one of t...

Result: The mean inter-alar width of the nose was 35.06 mm (37.14 mm in males and 33.21 mm in females). The mean maxillary inter-canine distance was 37.96 mm (39.66 mm in males and 36.38 mm in females). The mean mouth width was 50.66 mm (52.85 mm in males and 48.63 mm in females). The maxillary inter-canine distance was 75% of mouth width; therefore, the mouth width is a reliable predictor of t...

introduction: raising the knowledge of skeletal and soft tissue changes with aging has been highly essential due to an increasing demand for aesthetic facial surgery following aging. the aim of this study is to evaluate the three dimensional computed tomographic images and process of changes in mandible with aging. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, the facial ct scans were obtai...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this controlled study was to investigate indirect effects on mandibular arch dimensions, 1 year after rapid palatal expansion (RPE) therapy. METHODS Thirty-three patients in mixed dentition (mean age 8.8 years) showing unilateral posterior crossbite and maxillary deficiency were treated with a RPE (Haas type) cemented on the first permanent molars. Treatment protocol...

dental arch form is one of the most important characteristics of dentition. however, this dimension usually receives less attention in diagnosis or treatment planning and orthodontic patients are traditionally classified with regard to their sagittal characteristics. the objectives of this study were to investigate if a relationship exists between the dental arch width (transverse dimension) an...

Aims: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of permanent mandibular canine tooth calcification as an indicator of skeletal maturity in Karnataka population by comparing it with the ossification stages of the middle phalanx of the left third finger and also to compare the sexual dimorphism in the timing of these events. Methods: This study was performed on 100 subjects (50 boys...
