An unerupted mandibular second primary molar first was observed in a healthy male 3 years, 4 months of age. The report presents the rationale to allow the first permanent molar to erupt fully. The treatment objectives are presented with the description of the fixed appliances used to accomplish the objectives.

The preservation of deciduous teeth is essential until normal exfoliation. It plays an important role in preventive and interventional dentistry. Early loss a tooth or can have various consequences. Space maintainer the intra-alveolar kind advised when second molar lost before eruption first permanent molar. This report discusses modified Willet appliance cases where primary occur prior to mand...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to document the position and course of the mandibular canal through the region of the mandibular angle and body in dental patients, using cone beam computed tomographic imaging. METHODS The position and course of the mandibular canal from the region of the third molar to the first molar were measured at five specific locations in the same plane: at three diff...

The C shaped canal configuration is an anatomic variant most commonly seen in mandibular second molars. The presence of this configuration in a single rooted maxillary permanent first molar is rare. This case report describes the endodontic management of a single rooted infected maxillary first molar having a c shaped root canal configuration. Endodontic Treatment of Single Rooted Maxillary Fir...

An impacted left mandibular second molar (tooth 37) was extracted, but most of its dental follicle remained in the socket. The crown and dental papilla of an unerupted, left mandibular third molar (tooth 38) were then placed into the socket of tooth 37. Successful interaction between the dental follicle of tooth 37 and the crown and dental papilla of tooth 38 led to the formation of a new tooth...

BACKGROUND The relationship between impacted mandibular third molar and mandibular canal is important for removal of this tooth. Panoramic radiography is one of the commonly used diagnostic tools for evaluating the relationship of these two structures. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the accuracy of panoramic radiographic findings in predicting direct contact between mandibular canal and impacted thir...

PURPOSE This study used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) to characterize mandibular molar root and canal morphology and its variability in Belgian and Chilean population samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed the CBCT images of 515 mandibular molars (257 from Belgium and 258 from Chile). Molars meeting the inclusion criteria were analyzed to determine (1) the number of roots; (2) the ...

introduction: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the position of mandibular third molar (m3) and vertical skeletal malocclusions. methods: materials for the study consisted of panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalograms of 73 fifteen to nineteen-year-old class i patients (girls=66%, boys= 34%). patients were classified into three groups based on four vertical ...
