This report describes the surgical repositioning of a developing maxillary permanent central incisor in a horizontal position, followed by spontaneous eruption and root formation without orthodontic traction. Surgical exposure of the right central incisor was achieved. A 7-year-old boy referred for orthodontic consultation. Radiographic examination showed the crown of a maxillary right central ...

the routine treatment for rotated maxillary incisor is a fi xed appliance, but in some instance the use of this method is impossible. in addition, in only limited cases of rotation, removable appliance is applicable. in this study, the use of a semi-removable appliance is presented, which has some benefi ts over the other methods. in this study, the corrections of about 70 -90° rotation of the ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of permanent incisor crowding in the maxillary and mandibular arches among Saudi schoolchildren. Three hundred and fifty four dental casts of Saudi schoolchildren attending pediatric dentistry and orthodontic clinics in College of Dentistry at King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia were studied by one examiner. The children’s age rang...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate change in the sagittal position of point A due to orthodontic treatment by orthodontic community-cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS 40 subjects (22 males and 18 females) who had Class II division 2 malocclusion were recruited, and 40 subjects (23 males and 17 females) who had minor crowding in the beginning of the treatm...

Dental trauma is a challenge for dental integrity and can lead to pulp necrosis. The clinical case reports the diagnosis of a maxillary right central incisor traumatized and its multidisciplinary treatment. Calcium hydroxide material was used to perform the processing apexification. An apical surgery was carried out to remove the apical periodontitis and to return the aesthetics to the patient;...

Bimaxillary protrusion in a 28-year-old woman was complicated by multiple missing, restoratively compromised, or hopeless teeth. The maxillary right central incisor had a history of avulsion and replantation that subsequently evolved into generalized external root resorption with Class III mobility and severe loss of the supporting periodontium. This complex malocclusion had a discrepancy index...

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....

A 51-year-old woman who worked as a company sales representative was concerned about the deteriorating condition of her anterior teeth. On presentation, the appearance of her anterior teeth was less than ideal, and she requested treatment to improve the situation. Her medical history was noncontributory, but intraoral examination revealed excessive diastema between the maxillary central incisor...

AIM The aim was to evaluate the relationship of age, sex and lip length to the amount of exposure of maxillary incisors and canine teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two-hundred subjects were enrolled in the study. All subjects were grouped according to the lip length and age. The exposure of maxillary central incisor and canines was measured with flexible millimeter ruler. Teeth exposure beyond th...

a 20-year-old man presented with the history of pain and swelling in the anterior maxillary segment. the periapical radiography was indicative of a dental anomaly in right maxillary lateral incisor. due to the insufficient information from conventional radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) was ordered. cbct showed apical root resorption, large apical lucency and two separate canals ...
