AIM To report a maxillary central incisor tooth with a horizontal root fracture and incomplete root development that healed and was then moved orthodontically some years after the traumatic injury. SUMMARY A 7-year-old girl attended following trauma to the maxillary anterior region. Radiologic examination revealed a horizontal root fracture in the middle third of the maxillary right central i...

Dilaceration of the permanent tooth usually is a consequence of traumatic injuries to the primary teeth. Although it may appear anywhere in the long axis of the tooth, i.e., crown, cementoenamel junction, or root, most often the root is involved. However, crown dilaceration is a rare condition representing 3% of the total injuries. Maxillary incisors are more susceptible to such injury and affe...

Dental trauma sometimes causes fractures in the maxillary anterior teeth leading to esthetic, functional and phonetic quandaries. In this report, we describe the treatment of middle third root fracture of maxillary centrals and cervical third crown fracture of lateral incisor simultaneously fractured due to dental trauma. Treatment involved reattachment and splinting of fractured fragments with...

Aim: To investigate the incisor wingings of the Southern Chinese and compare these with studies in different populations. Materials and Methods: The maxillary and mandibular incisor alignment in study casts of an unselected sample from a 12 year old Hong Kong Oral Health Survey of 12 year old children (n=459; 295 boys and 164 girls) were studied. Results: The prevalence of bilateral winging in ...

The following is a report of a 16-year-old boy with history of pain in the maxillary left central incisor and in the maxillary sinus area. Radiographs showed a w e l l d e m a r c a t e d , u n i l o c u l a r m i x e d radiolucent-radiodense lesion.

BACKGROUND A facial bone (<2 mm) overlying maxillary anterior teeth may be prone to resorptive processes after extraction and immediate implant placement. A thin bone contributes to risk of bone fenestration, dehiscence, and soft-tissue recession. This study measures the distance between the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and alveolar bone crest and the thickness of facial alveolar bone at point...

The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that the gene defect causing congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors also causes narrowing of the dentition. A total of 81 patients with one or two congenitally missing lateral incisors were retrieved; 52 (64.2 per cent) patients presented bilateral agenesis, whereas 29 (35.8 per cent) had unilateral agenesis. The control group consisted ...

To provide an anatomical basis for clinical implant esthetics, we evaluated the morphology of the nasopalatine canal (NPC) and analyzed labial and interproximal bone anatomy at the maxillary anterior region. We sought to investigate the effect of maxillary protrusion and tooth labiolingual inclination on labial bone anatomy in Chinese adults. Three dimensional (3D) images were reconstructed usi...

This was a cross-sectional study of the prevalence and orthodontic management developmental missing permanent maxillary lateral incisor patients referred for treatment from year 2010 to 2020. The dental records written case notes, radiographs, models that fulfilled inclusion criteria were selected using systematic sampling assessed retrospectively. Sample taken every five records. Dental did no...

The present study is a case report of 24-year-old patient with missing maxillary right lateral incisor. uses multi-disciplinary team approach in providing aesthetic and functional rehabilitation teeth. first periodontist took care the gingival tissue health which was pivotal aspect for future orthodontic implant procedure. procedures not only involved creating space incisor but also involves an...
