Fusion is developmental anomaly of the dental hard tissue and is defined as the joining of 2 developing tooth germs resulting in a single large tooth structure. Different treatment methods can be used according to the requirements of the situation. The purpose of this case report was to present the multidisciplinary treatment of a patient who had a permanent maxillary left central tooth fused w...

Lateral luxation of permanent teeth is a common injury, and the most frequent post-injury complications is Pulp Canal Obliteration (PCO) followed by pulp necrosis and root resorption. This report presents two different prognoses for symmetrical immature maxillary central incisors after lateral luxation in a 7-year-old boy. Both teeth were laterally luxated and the gingiva distal to the left inc...

Odontomas are a common type of odontogenic tumor, usually asymptomatic and mostly detected on routine radiographic examination. An 11-years-old male child with the chief complaint of mobility of deciduous dentition in the upper front region was diagnosed with an odontome with an impacted central incisor, missing lateral incisor and retained deciduous incisors following radiographic analysis. Hi...

The aim of this case report was to present the non-surgical root canal treatment of the geminated maxillary anterior lateral incisor tooth. A 50-year-old female patient was referred for endodontic treatment of her maxillary right lateral incisor. In the clinical examination, a large crown was observed in the right maxillary incisor region when compared with the left maxillary lateral incisor. T...

Macrodontia is a rare dental anomaly which consists on the presence of any tooth or teeth larger than the average. In the present report the case of a child with an uncommon true isolated macrodontia of a maxillary central incisor is presented. The maxillary left central incisor was considered a macrodontic tooth since its mesiodistal crown dimension was 12.41 mm while the mesiodistal crown dim...

AIM The purpose of this case report is to describe the combined surgical and orthodontic treatment of two cases with an impacted maxillary central incisor and canine in the same quadrant and to discuss the causal relationship between them. BACKGROUND The most common causes of canine impactions are usually the result of one or more factors such as a long path of eruption, tooth size-arch lengt...

Autotransplantation is a viable treatment option to restore esthetics and function impaired by abnormally shaped teeth when a suitable donors tooth is available. This paper describes the autotransplantation and 2-year follow-up of a supernumerary maxillary incisor as a replacement to a misaligned maxillary incisor with abnormal crown morphology and size. The supernumerary incisor was immediatel...

This case report describes the management of a crown-root fractured maxillary right central incisor and a crown fractured maxillary left central incisor using two different techniques. A complex procedure was designed to manage this case including orthodontic extrusion to move the fracture line above the alveolar bone and surgical recontouring of the altered gingival margin. Finally, the right ...

for treating an impacted, dilacerated maxillary central incisor in the mixed dentition. A new fixed appliance promotes proper sagittal and vertical traction of the incisor into the dental arch, while maintaining the patient’s periodontal health and preserving root length. The appliance is an .040" stainless steel fixed lingual arch, soldered to the lingual surfaces of the maxillary first molar ...

UNLABELLED Lower incisor extraction in orthodontic treatment was very rare modality of orthodontic treatment because there are few patients who meet the standards for such treatment. Proper diagnosis and treatment planning should be done to achieve good occlusion and facial esthetics. Criteria for lower incisor extraction included degree of crowding, tooth size discrepancy, pathologic condition...
