Introduction: Prediction of mesiodistal (MD) width of unerupted permanent canines and premolars is an essential aspect of mixed dentition analysis. Several methods are used to predict tooth width. The best methods demonstrate high values of correlation and determination coeffi cients. In this study, we aimed to determine the linear regression equation that would predict the sum of the MD widths...

Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of transmigrated maxillary and mandibular canine teeth and also of the other impacted teeth, apart from third molars, in a Turkish dental patients subpopulation. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 2900 panoramic radiographs (PRs) taken from patients who were referred to the Faculty of Dentistry...

Intraosseous movement of an unerupted tooth across the midline of the jaw is known as dental transmigration. This infrequent event is mostly found in the mandibular canines. There are four new cases of mandibular canine transmigration presented here. The literature on this anomalous phenomenon is also reviewed.

PURPOSE The objective of this study was to assess the pattern of permanent teeth present in a self-selected sample of 17 female and 35 male patients with ectodermal dysplasia presenting for treatment with dental implants. METHODS Mean age of sample: 18.7 years, age range: 5.9 to 60.9 years. Panoramic radiographs were examined independently by two investigators to determine the permanent teeth...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of mandibular canine index (MCI) in determination of sex. Possibly the dimorphism of the canines may be used as a valid tool in the forensic and legal identification of an individual. This study comprised of 89 individuals and 77 cases were enrolled in the study from Pakistan (39 males, 38 females) and 12 from UK (8 males and 4 femal...

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...

Mandibular canine impaction and transmigration have serious consequences for the patient, as removal of the tooth or teeth in question is often the only solution. The loss of one or both mandibular canines complicates orthodontic treatment. Early warning signs of mandibular canine ectopia are explored in this paper as well as how to assess the potential for displacement, impaction and/or transm...
