eral incisors or ectopic teeth into the main archwire can be both difficult and problematic.1 First, the forces used to create space in the arch can oppose those needed to align the teeth. This can cause binding and notching of the wire at the locations of the most misaligned teeth, resulting in increased friction and thus negating the archwire’s superelastic properties.2,3 Potentially harmful ...

Dental ectopia is a rare developing anomaly characterized by change in the normal eruption pathway of deciduous, permanent or supernumerary tooth. In some cases, ectopic teeth are present non-dentate area like maxillary sinus. The article presents cone beam computed tomography data 7 asymptomatic patients with totally partially located inside Dentigerous cysts and odontomas can cause displaceme...

The ectopic development of teeth has been reported in many locations including the nasal cavity, maxillary sinus and the chin. Ectopic teeth may be permanent, deciduous or supernumerary. A case is presented in which a supernumerary tooth erupted into the maxillary sinus of an 11 year old boy.

Ectopic tooth eruption in a non-dental area is a rare entity, whereas in oral cavity it is most common. The ectopic development of teeth in non-dental localizations have been reported in the nasal cavity, chin, maxillary sinus, mandibular bone, palate and orbital cavity. Ectopic tooth eruptions in maxillay sinus are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally during routine clinical or radiolog...

Supernumerary teeth develop from excessive proliferation and development of the dental lamina. can cause several problems, including ectopic eruption, delayed root resorption adjacent teeth, diastema. in infancy are rare have rarely been reported. Case a 2-day-old infant with 3 supernumerary is presented here patient was followed up for 21 months. The erupted tooth primary dentition extracted u...

Fusion or synodontia is a union of two or more than two developing teeth. Commonly fusion occurs between teeth of the same dentition, mixed dentition, or between normal and supernumerary teeth. Fused primary teeth present with several clinical problems like caries, periodontal problem, arch asymmetry, delayed eruption, ectopic eruption of succedaneous teeth, aesthetic, and other complications. ...

Ectopic eruption of teeth into regions other than the oral cavity is rare although there have been reports of teeth in the nasal septum, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, chin, and maxillary sinus. Occasionally, a tooth may erupt in the maxillary sinus and present with local sinonasal symptoms attributed to chronic sinusitis. We present a case of an ectopic maxillary third molar too...
