OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the presence of the maxillary lateral incisor in the cleft in patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate treated with the use of various surgical protocols. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted as regards diagnostic models, panoramic radiographs and tooth images of the cleft of 75 patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate...

AIM To describe the successful non-surgical endodontic management of a permanent maxillary lateral incisor tooth with four root canals. SUMMARY Aberrant morphology of root canals can occur in any tooth, including maxillary lateral incisors. In the presented case, clinical examination and radiographs clearly depicted the presence of four root canals in a right maxillary lateral incisor. The di...

Objective. This study aimed to find out the change in esthetic ratios during rotation of patient's head using a simulation. Materials and Methods. A plaster study model was photographed placing its midline along the long axis of the camera. Then a series of photographs were taken by rotating the model each degree till 10° on both right and left sides. These photographs were digitally measured a...

AIM To evaluate the presence of root resorption in the lateral incisor after active orthodontic treatment in the early mixed dentition. METHODS Twenty-six children treated at the Children's Clinic of the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Western Ontario were examined radiographically for lateral incisors root resorption before and after early active treatment to a...

Odontomas are a common type of odontogenic tumor, usually asymptomatic and mostly detected on routine radiographic examination. An 11-years-old male child with the chief complaint of mobility of deciduous dentition in the upper front region was diagnosed with an odontome with an impacted central incisor, missing lateral incisor and retained deciduous incisors following radiographic analysis. Hi...

The aim of this case report was to present the non-surgical root canal treatment of the geminated maxillary anterior lateral incisor tooth. A 50-year-old female patient was referred for endodontic treatment of her maxillary right lateral incisor. In the clinical examination, a large crown was observed in the right maxillary incisor region when compared with the left maxillary lateral incisor. T...

This case report presents endodontic management of a mandibular lateral incisor with three canals using surgical dental operating microscope. This study describes the root canal variation of mandibular lateral incisor and highlights the importance of surgical operating microscope in detecting an unusual canal morphology.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between age, gender and clinical crown length using a longitudinal study design. Method: Four hundred and fifty-six sets of study models initially obtained for a large prospective longitudinal cohort study of orthodontic needs were examined. Each set of models corresponded to subjects at three different ages: 11–12, 14–1...

Transposition of teeth is a severe problem, which usually affects the cuspid-first premolar area. It is frequently associated with other dental anomalies such as tooth agenesis, peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors, retained deciduous teeth, malpositions of the adjacent teeth and other teeth malformations. This paper describes the orthodontic management with fixed appliances of a case of bilat...
