The maxillary first premolar is the most commonly bi- rooted tooth with occasional presentation of three roots system; it is a transitional tooth between incisors and molars. Although it usually has two canals, it may rarely have three and this third canal can easily be missed. Thus meticulous knowledge of tooth morphology, careful interpretation of angled radiographs, proper access cavity prep...

The aim of this split-mouth experimental study was to determine (1) whether corticotomy procedures increase tooth movement and (2) the effects of a second corticotomy procedure after 4 weeks on the rate of tooth movement. The mandibular third and maxillary second premolars of five skeletally mature male foxhounds, approximately 2 years of age, were extracted. One randomly selected mandibular qu...

BACKGROUND A combination of horizontal and vertical third molar impaction is a rare occurrence.When the tooth is unable to erupt to its proper position and fail to achieve a normal occlusion, it is known as impacted tooth. CASE DETAILS In this scientific article, case report of a female patient aged 30 years reported with acombination of horizontally and vertically impacted third molars in th...

A 35year-old Chinese man came to the dental clinic with a painful, nonulcerative, and fast-growing swelling over the right mandibular body. Clinical examination revealed that the well-defined swelling was bony hard and tender, and measured about 3 X 3 cm. Panoramic (Fig. 1) and lateral oblique (Fig. 2) radiographs demonstrated an ill-defined radiopaque shadow extending from the apical area of t...

UNLABELLED Lower third molar teeth can be dislodged into fascial tissue spaces when they are extracted or elevated out of their sockets. Thankfully, this rarely occurs. We present a case report on a lower right wisdom tooth dislodged into the right parapharyngeal space on its removal from the socket and the subsequent management of this rare complication. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Though a rare comp...

Precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. Recently, by using three-dimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. In this study, the spatial relationship of two surgi...

Aim : The aim of this study is to evaluate the angulation of impacted mandibular third molars and also to evaluate the most common sex affected . Objective: To determine which angulation is more common in impaction To determine the prevalence of mandibular third molar impaction based on gender Materials and Methodology: The study was conducted on 110 subjects which consists of 58 males and 52 f...
