Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical and orthodontic findings of combined orthodontic-surgical management of unerupted permanent teeth performed by the same team in one clinic and using the same fully repositioned flap as the surgical technique for tooth exposure. Methods This was a retrospective study using patients’ records, orthopantomographs and lateral cephalographs. F...

Vitalometer tests were performed on 108 primary canines in 48 children from 5 through 10years of age and on 40 permanent canines in 20 adults. Mean readings increased for each age in children with standard deviations increasing for each age up to the 10 to 11 group. Readings from adults were significantly higher than for each age group from 6 through lO years, but with some overlap of ranges. R...

Impaction of maxillary canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem in orthodontic therapy. When a preventive approach fails, treatment involves surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, followed by orthodontic traction to guide and align it into the dental arch. The primary goal of surgical phase is to provide the means for correct position of orthodontic anchorage. Additionally, the te...

Objectives: To fi nd out if there is an association of MICs (Maxillary impacted canines) with third molar agenesis and other dental anomalies.Materials Methods: Data were collected using records patients who visited the study setting during period. There total 130 in control group cases group. Pre-treatment (OPG CBCT) all used to assess canines missing molars. Diff erence between groups was ass...

Impaction most commonly involves lower third molars, followed by permanent upper canines. Warford et al11 used a bi-condylar line as a horizontal reference line to predict the maxillary canine impaction in mixed dentition. The measurement was taken of the mesial angle formed by using the constructed horizontal and the long axis of the maxillary canine. In this study, a modified Warford method w...

The successful outcome of the endodontic therapy requires an adequate knowledge in context to anatomy of the root canal system. In most cases, the mandibular canines are thought to have just one root canal. Those presenting with an extra root and canal are usually rare, ranging from 1% to 5%. Thus, in spite of this low prevalence, variations in the anatomy and number of root canals in mandibula...

Teeth are well preserved after death and they exhibit remarkable sexual dimorphism. Hence, they provide excellent materials for forensic investigations intended for identification of sex. Present study was undertaken on permanent mandibular canines of 90 male and 90 female subjects of age group 17-23 years. The mesiodistal width for right and left mandibular canines and intercanine distance wer...
