Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic cysts associated with the crown of an unerupted tooth most commonly located at permanent Mandibular 3rd Molars and the Maxillary Canines. They rarely involve deciduous teeth and supernumerary teeth [5%]. We report successful management of two rare cases of maxillary labial swelling due to a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted mesiodens. T...

An alteration in the path of eruption of teeth or non-eruption is a frequent problem encountered in children. This is mainly seen in the upper incisors giving an unpleasant aesthetic and functional problem. This may be commonly attributed to the presence of a supernumerary tooth. Mesiodens is the most commonly occurring supernumerary tooth present in the premaxilla between the two central incis...

Introduction: Children generally suffer from dental traumas to their primary teeth. Traumas may lead to complications, depending on the site and potency of the injuries. The acute dental abscess usually occurs secondary to dental caries or dental trauma. The necrotic pulp tissue becomes colonized by a specialized mixed anaerobic biofilm. Case Presentation: A 5-year-old boy referred to clinic (G...

Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of transmigrated maxillary and mandibular canine teeth and also of the other impacted teeth, apart from third molars, in a Turkish dental patients subpopulation. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study of 2900 panoramic radiographs (PRs) taken from patients who were referred to the Faculty of Dentistry...

AIM This study aims at examining the difficulty in performing forced eruption of impacted maxillary canines, using CBCT information and according to experienced orthodontist's opinion. The second aim was to find the most important factors related to this decision. METHODS Based on a careful literature review on impacted maxillary canines, ten main factors were selected to assess difficulties ...

UNLABELLED Many studies have shown that the greatest risk of fracture of the mandibular angle is related to the presence of an unerupted lower third molar, based on the hypothesis that there is a decrease in the area of bone and absorption of the impact in this area, leading some surgeons to indicate its prophylactic removal in patients most exposed to the risk factors of facial trauma. On the ...

Impacted mandibular third molar tooth has the potential to induce periodontal problems in the distal root of second molar tooth. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous biomaterial which has been used to enhance soft and hard tissue regeneration. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of PRP in management of periodontal pocket at the distal root of mandibular second ...

Deeply impacted supernumerary teeth in the anterior maxillary cannot be generally removed by the conventional labial or palatal surgical approach because of the risk of damaging the surrounding soft tissues and the possibility of injuring the roots of adjacent permanent teeth. In piezosurgery, bony tissues are selectively cut, thereby avoiding the soft tissue damage caused by rotary cutting ins...

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...
