single rooted primary mandibular first molar is a rare developmental anomaly. literatures reveal that failure of invagination of hertwig's epithelial root sheath leads to this unusual root form. thorough knowledge of root canal morphology and anatomical variations of primary teeth can help a pediatric dentist in successful root canal treatment. hereby, we describe two cases of primary mandibula...

autogenous tooth transplantation (att) can be considered when there is a hopeless molar tooth and suitable donor present. this report presents an unconventional case of successful att of a third molar replacing the adjacent fractured second molar in a 33 year old woman. this wisdom tooth had completely developed roots. root-end filling with calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement was performed in...

thorough understanding of the anatomic and internal morphology of a root canal system is absolutely essential for the success of endodontic treatment. since permanent maxillary first molars have shown variation in internal anatomy, morphology, this tooth has been reviewed extensively. presence of two canals in a two-rooted maxillary first molar has rarely been reported in studies describing too...

In this case report, a mature third mandibular molar was transplanted in the socket of a hopeless first mandibular molar of the same quadrant. A 32-year-old woman was diagnosed with strip perforation of her left first lower molar. Orthograde and retrograde treatments were unsuccessful. The tooth was extracted and replaced by the third molar of the same quadrant. Following transplantation, the t...

Autogenous tooth transplantation (ATT) can be considered when there is a hopeless molar tooth and suitable donor present. This report presents an unconventional case of successful ATT of a third molar replacing the adjacent fractured second molar in a 33 year old woman. This wisdom tooth had completely developed roots. Root-end filling with Calcium Enriched Mixture (CEM) cement was performed in...

a 7.5 year-old girl was seeking orthodontic treatment because of severe ectopic eruption of maxillary first permanent molars. it was a rare case that represented approximately horizontal view in panoramic radiograph. the severity of problem was high, but since the patient had maxillary deficiency, it was important to perform the treatment without extraction. treatment began with extraction of u...

radiographic evaluation of the third molar tooth to determine its position and degree of development is an important part in diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as in forensic dentistry procedures. the objective was to investigate the developmental stages of third molars in relation to chronologic age, gender and location (maxillary/mandibular) in an iranian population.the data were colle...

wisdom tooth operations are sometimes accompanied by complications. this case report shows complications during upper jaw third molar removal. expectable problems during oral surgery should be planned to be solved in advance. displacement of the third molar during oral surgeries as a considerable complication is rarely discussed scientifically. a good design of flap, adequate power for extracti...

Autogenous transplantation is a feasible, fast, and economical option for the treatment of nonsalvageable teeth when a suitable donor tooth is available. This paper presents successful autotransplantation of a mature mandibular left third molar (38) without anatomical variances is used to replace a mandibular left second molar (37). The mandibular second molar was nonrestorable due to extensive...

Autogenous transplantation is an economical as well as the most sorted option for the treatment of badly destroyed teeth when a suitable donor tooth is available. This paper presents successful auto transplantation of a mature mandibular right third molar (48) without anatomical variance is used to replace a grossly decayed mandibular right first molar (46). The mandibular first molar was nonre...
