Introduction Ectopic eruption of a first permanent molar" is a developmental disturbance in which the mesially directed path of eruption results in resorption of the second primary molar. Pulver and Bjerklin found no specific etiologic factor for ectopic eruption, but noted that it appeared more commonly among siblings^ and was not specific to any quadrant. Different modes of treatment have bee...

The reported incidence of ectopic eruption ranges from 2 to 4.3% of the population.^ Treatment modalities have been divided into two categories: interproximal wedging and distal tipping. Interproximal wedging is indicated when there is minimal impaction of the first permanent molar on the distal aspect of the second primary molar. When the impaction is severe, distal tipping techniques are requ...

Introduction: Ectopic tooth eruption may result owing to one of 3 processes: developmentalDisturbance, iatrogenic activity, or pathologic process, such as a tumor or a cyst. In rare cases, occlusion of the sinus ostia may predispose a patient to develop a maxillary sinus mucocele. When the maxillary sinus is invaded, symptoms usually occur late in the process.   Case report: A 17 years old boy...

Ectopic eruption of teeth may be associated with developmental disturbances, pathologies or iatrogenic. eruptions 3rd molar in maxillary sinus is relatively rare. This article reviews a 30 year male who reported to the out-patient department Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery complaint pain swelling upper left side face since 15-20 days. Orthopantomogram revealed an impacted tooth cystic lining. Pr...

A miscarriage can be very traumatic for a couple and their immediate family. The aim of this study was to assess, using the Perinatal Grief Scale (PGS), whether the type of early pregnancy loss influences the severity of grief and whether the presence of living children influences the severity of grief. Over a period of 6 months in 2008, seventy five patients were recruited for the study, of wh...

Impaction of third molar is a common developmental abnormality. However, ectopic impaction of the mandibular third molar in condylar region is an extremely rare condition. This report describes a case of impacted tooth in the mandibular condyle without any associated pathologic condition. Also, this report presents the spatial relationship of the impacted mandibular third molar to the surroundi...

Ectopic teeth have been rarely described in non-dental and non-oral localizations. Ectopic tooth eruption in maxillary sinus usually runs across incidentally during routine radiological or clinical evaluation because it is generally asymptomatic. If it occurs symptomaticaly; the findings like purulent rhinorrhoea, facial pain, headache, swelling, epistaxis and epiphora can be seen. It is often ...

BACKGROUND Ectopic mandibular third molar is a rare clinical entity with incompletely known etiology. Here, we sought to delineate its epidemiological, clinical and radiographic characteristics, and therapy by integrating and analyzing the cases treated in our institution together with previously reported cases. METHOD A new definition and classification for ectopic mandibular third molar was...

Ectopic eruption is the abnormal eruption of a permanent tooth that often causes root resorption of an adjacent primary tooth which can be noted during routine dental radiographic evaluation. The mesial eruption of the permanent first molar may be a local eruption problem or may indicate developmental arch circumference deficiency requiring further consideration. Early treatment is mandatory to...
