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...

The purpose of this paper is to present the first case of unusual reverse oblique (110 degrees to midsagittal plane) migration of mandibular right canine crossing the jaw midline and piercing the lower border of the mandible at the level of the opposite canine and also to report two more cases of transmigrated mandibular canine and one case of transmigrating mandibular canine. Mandibular canine...

The partial absence of teeth germs is a hereditary or acquired congenital defect called hypodontia. The present report analyses and discusses hypodontia in permanent dentition on the basis of eleven clinical cases. In these, the hypodontia corresponded to mandibular central incisors, maxillary lateral incisors, maxillary canines, or maxillary and mandibular premolars and molars. All these cases...

Dentigerous cyst is a benign odontogenic cyst associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. It is usually single in occurrence and located in the mandible of middle-aged persons. The teeth commonly affected are in order of frequency, the mandibular third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary third molars and, rarely central incisors. The present case report describes the surgical enucleation of...

Introduction Full impaction of canines, in both jaws, is a rare phenomenon. It is usually coupled with the persistence of deciduous canines, or any other irregularity in the dental arch. Case report Panoramic radiograph of a 24-year-old female patient showed bilateral canine impaction in both jaws. Due to vestibular, apical and medial position of canines in the upper jaw, the surgical approac...

Mandibular canines present a complex internal anatomy. There are reported cases of canines with a single root and two canals, three canals, two roots or fused roots. The existence of mandibular canines with more than one root canal is a documented fact that clinicians should keep in mind, in order to avoid failure during endodontic treatment. In spite of the low incidence of lower canines with ...

introduction: the present study was conducted to assess the morphology of mandibular canines using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) in a north iranian population. methods and materials: for the morphological assessment of mandibular canines, 150 cbct images taken from patients for different reasons were used. the mandibular canines were examined in sagittal, coronal and axial dimensions. th...

Results: Maxillary central and lateral incisors and canines typically presented with a single canal of type I canal configuration. In mandibular teeth, most of the central incisors showed type I (57.4%) canal configuration. Type III was found in 37.0% of the cases. The incidence of type III canal configuration in mandibular lateral incisors was 55.9%. The remainder was distributed mainly betwee...
