trauma to primary teeth can lead to devastating sequels in development of permanent successors. the disturbance may range from enamel hypoplasia and/or hypo-calcification to arrest of dental bud development. crown dilaceration of permanent teeth is one of the consequences of trauma to deciduous teeth mainly due to intrusion or avulsion. this report presents a mandibular central incisor with dil...

The aim of this study was investigate the prevalence and distribution of dental anomalies among 10to 25-year-old patients by using panoramic radiographs. A total of 3600 patients (2200 male, 1400 female; mean age: 19.2±6.3) panoramic radiographs were evaluated. Dental anomalies were divided into five types: position anomalies, number anomalies, size anomalies, shape anomalies and structure anom...

A 17 year old patient reported to the outpatient department with the chief complaint of unesthetic facial appearance with progressively increasing size of both the jaws. Although initially the condition appeared to be insignificant with the condition apparent as the skeletal class III facial appearance and mandibular prognathism (Figure 1a & 1b). Also intraorally angle’s class III molar relatio...

AIM To report a rare case of arrested root formation of permanent incisors in a young boy with mixed dentition and its management. BACKGROUND Traumatic injury to a primary tooth may damage the underlying permanent tooth germ and affect its development. The extent of the malformation depends upon the developmental stage of the permanent tooth and the intensity of trauma. Discoloration and hypo...

OBJECTIVE To report the effects of a primary tooth trauma on the underlying permanent tooth germ. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 12-year-old girl was referred to our clinic with a complaint of poor aesthetic appearance. The crown of the permanent maxillary left central tooth exhibited an increased clinical crown height with an 'enamel hyperplasia' in the cervical third and had hypop...

Talon cusp is a dental anomaly that occurs as an accessory cusp like structure from the cingulum of maxillary or mandibular anterior teeth. Dens invaginatus is a developmental variation which arises as a result of an invagination on the surface of a tooth crown before calcification has occurred. An unusual case of multiple talon cusps affecting the maxillary central incisors and the canines bil...

Abstract Introduction Maxillary incisors have a significant role on the facial aesthetics of an individual. Following trauma to primary dentition, maxillary are vulnerable eruption failure and occasionally root dilaceration. These teeth can be challenging treat. Discussion This case report demonstrates complex management 10-year-old male who presented with severely displaced unerupted central i...
