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...

AIM To provide clinicians with useful information for immediate diagnosis and management of impacted maxillary incisors due to trauma. METHODS We present a case of post-traumatic impaction of a central right maxillary incisor in a young patient. The treatment plan consisted in the interceptive management (surgical and orthodontic), the valuation of the necessary space to move the impacted too...

This case report describes the treatment of a patient with a horizontally impacted maxillary central incisor, a canine in the same quadrant, and an inclusion tendency. Due to severe crowing in the maxilla and the Class II molar relationship on the impaction side, a 2-stage treatment plan was developed. In the first stage, the right first premolar and deciduous canine were extracted; this allowe...

Abstract This case report describes successful long-term conservative management of a cervical root fracture and a complicated crown fracture of the maxillary central incisors in a 12-year-old patient. A mineral trioxide aggregate partial pulpotomy was performed on the maxillary right central incisor, while the maxillary left central incisor was splinted to the neighbouring lateral incisor usin...

The authors’ intention was to present ceramic restoration repair as a reliable, low-cost and low-risk procedure, by demonstrating 3 cases in the aesthetic zone. Intraoral ceramic repair was chosen for the small porcelain fracture of the maxillary left central incisor and for the large porcelain surface detachment of the maxillary left lateral incisor, since patients did not want to replace the ...

A tooth displaced down into alveolar bone is an intrusive luxation. This injury usually is accompanied by comminution of alveolar fracture. The dislocation is frequently axial and radiographic examination reveals absence of periodontal space. The primary site for luxation injuries is the maxillary anterior region in the primary and permanent dentition with frequency higher in the primary dentit...

we report a rare case of a two-rooted maxillary central incisor, stressing the importance of three-dimensional imaging in treatment planning and conservative approach of management. endodontic treatment of this central incisor was carried out with a successful outcome.

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...

Objective: To assess and evaluate the tip, torque, slot size & slot distortion of maxillary central incisor, maxillary lateral incisor & maxillary canine brackets from commercially available bracket systems (Agile Mini Brackets3M series, Mini seriesAmerican Orthodontics, Mini Gem seriesDento Smile, Fine Series Brackets Galaxy Orthodontics, Centrino Mini bracketsLibral trader, Orthox Organizers)...

OBJECTIVE To verify, via CBCT, the existence of a definable distance for bodily intrusion of maxillary incisors, and its correlation to age, sex and/or facial biotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of sagittal sections obtained from 79 CBCTs of 220 maxillary incisors correctly aligned on their osseous base (maxillary plane/long axis between 105° and 115°). The same sagittal secti...
