In the permanent dentition, the type of congenital missing teeth varies from author to author and the demographic and geographic profiles. In Europeans, the mandibular second premolar is the most frequently absent tooth, followed by the maxillary lateral incisor and the maxillary second premolars (Bergstrom, 1977; Rolling, 1980; O'Dowling & McNamara, 1990; Aasheim & Øgaard, 1993; Nordgarden et ...

the purpose of this report is to present a rare case of a fused mandibular lateral incisor with supernumerary tooth with a follow-up for 18-months. a 35-year-old female patient was referred to our clinic with an extraoral sinus tract in the chin. the intraoral diagnosis revealed the fusion of her mandibular lateral incisors. vitality pulp tests were negative for mandibular right central and lat...

Introduction: This case report describes the orthodontic re-treatment of a case with a severely compromised maxillary lateral incisor requiring removal and canine substitution. The treatment included creative asymmetric treatment mechanics and a careful management of anchorage. Case Presentation: Pre-treatment, post treatment and 5 years follow-up records are shown. The treatment outcomes prove...

INTRODUCTION Cleft lip and palate are craniofacial anomalies highly prevalent in the overall population. In oral clefts involving the alveolar ridge, variations of number, shape, size and position are observed in maxillary lateral incisors. The objective of this manuscript is to elucidate the embryonic origin of maxillary lateral incisors in order to understand the etiology of these variations....

AGENESIS OF MAXILLARY LATERAL INCISORS IN ORTHODONTIC PATIENTS AND THE RELATION TO OVERALL TOOTH SIZE Jane Wright, DDS Marquette University, May 2011 The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most frequently missing tooth in the dental arch with clinical management requiring a complex and multidisciplinary treatment approach. It has been suspected that teeth could be smaller in the maxillary ...

Any type of aesthetic correction in dental practice is always a challenging task, especially when it is complicated with cleft lip and alveolus. Careful examination and correct decision making at early stage of treatment and multi disciplinary approach is always necessary for long term success. This paper described a multidisciplinary approach in managing a 19-year-old female patient with unila...

Abstract Introduction: Prosthetic restorations in the frontal teeth, addition to functional and prophylactic requirements, must respond a special way aesthetic needs. This desideratum is challenge, especially when support for future prosthetic parts not characterized by uniformity of color. paper wants highlight importance color abutments, case single restorations, teeth. Case presentation: man...

Fusion is developmental anomaly of the dental hard tissue and is defined as the joining of 2 developing tooth germs resulting in a single large tooth structure. Different treatment methods can be used according to the requirements of the situation. The purpose of this case report was to present the multidisciplinary treatment of a patient who had a permanent maxillary left central tooth fused w...

Lateral luxation of permanent teeth is a common injury, and the most frequent post-injury complications is Pulp Canal Obliteration (PCO) followed by pulp necrosis and root resorption. This report presents two different prognoses for symmetrical immature maxillary central incisors after lateral luxation in a 7-year-old boy. Both teeth were laterally luxated and the gingiva distal to the left inc...

Dens invaginatus (DI) is a dental malformation occurring in several morphologic types. Consequently, treatment of teeth affected by DI can get complicated because of the complex root canal anatomy. The aim is to describe how to manage a rare report of a DI with necrotic pulp held within the vital pulp of a maxillary lateral incisor. Oral fistula was found on the buccal mucosa of the apex of the...
