BACKGROUND AND AIM: Dental anomalies are typically detected in radiographic screening. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the dental anomalies found in panoramic radiographs taken from the study population in Ardabil, Iran, in 2015-2016.METHODS: The present study was conducted on 1800 panoramic radiographs obtained from 799 men and 1001 women in the Radiology Departme...

This report involves two cases of extreme dilaceration of the permanent mandibular incisor teeth. A history of trauma sustained to the primary dentition was elicited in each case. Although a relatively rare condition, several reports have been made regarding dilacerated maxillary incisor teeth. Very few case reports could be found involving dilacerated mandibular teeth.

Neonatal laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation often are required for prematurely born, low birthweight children. Previous studies have shown that these procedures are associated with a high prevalence of enamel hypoplasia of the maxillary anterior teeth. The present case report, which describes dilaceration of a left maxillary primary central incisor probably resulting from laryngoscopy, st...

Background: Dilaceration is a rare dental condition that can occur during tooth development, resulting in distortion of the normal axial relationship between crown and root. Although it affect any tooth, most commonly occurs permanent incisors, often as result trauma to primary predecessor. The impact even slight displacement incisor be significant, disrupting development follicles new teeth. D...

Impacted canines, due to systemic or local factors, represent a frequent problem in most populations. Surgical intervention usually involves exposure for spontaneous eruption, exposure for orthodontic traction or extraction. The author presents the apicotomy technique, which has been successfully used during the past twenty years for conservative intervention in cases of impacted upper canines ...

Biomechanical preparation of root canals with accentuated curvature is challenging. New rotatory systems, such as Reciproc, require a shorter period of time to prepare curved canals, and became a viable alternative for endodontic treatment of teeth with root dilaceration. Thus, this study aimed to report a clinical case of endodontic therapy of root with accentuated dilaceration using Reciproc ...
