intraosseous migration is an unusual developmental dental anomaly, which demonstrates horizontal movement of unerupted teeth only affecting the permanent dentition of the lower jaw. mandibular second premolar is the most common impacted tooth after the third molars and maxillary canines. distal migration of the second premolar is rare and early loss of the permanent first molar is one of the mo...

Congenitally missing teeth (CMT) are among one of the commonly known dental anomalies. The most frequently missing teeth in the permanent dentition, excluding the third molars, are mandibular second premolars and maxillary lateral incisors. Exclusive agenesis of both maxillary canines is an extremely rare occurrence and only a few cases have been reported. Previous studies showed that the preva...

The present study assessed the suitability of pulp/tooth volume ratio of mandibular canines for age prediction in an Indian population. Volumetric reconstruction of scanned images of mandibular canines from 140 individuals (aged ten - 70 years), using computed tomography was used to measure pulp and tooth volumes. Age calculated using a formula reported earlier for a Belgian sample, resulted in...

Primary canine hypoplasia (PCH) is an enamel defect located on the mesial aspect of the facial surface at approximately the junction of the gingival and the middle thirds of the tooth. 1-5 The defect exists in two forms: minimal hypoplasia consisting of brown, white, or yellow opaque areas with a smooth surface; and obvious hypoplasia having a combination of pitting, invagination, missing ename...

Supernumerary teeth are defined as the teeth developed in excess of the number found in a normal dentition. Supernumerary canine is an extremely rare finding particularly in the mandible. This case report presents a 25-year-old female patient with the unique feature of bilateral mandibular supplemental supernumerary canines. The patient was non-syndromic without any other supernumerary teeth.

This case report presents the non-surgical orthodontic camouflage treatment of an 18-year-old male patient with skeletal Class III asymmetry and severe anterior open bite. The bite was corrected by extrusion maxillary mandibular teeth clockwise counterclockwise rotation occlusal plane, respectively, using intermaxillary elastics between posterior buccal miniscrews canines vertical canines. dent...

AIM To determine the association of impacted maxillary canines with other developmental dental anomalies and compare them with a control population and to compare palatally and labially impacted canine associated anomalies. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ninety non-syndromic orthodontic patients from a south Indian population, with either labial or palatal impactions of one or both maxillary canine te...

Usually, the mandibular canine only has one root and one root canal. However, there has been a noticeable increment in evidence showing variations in its morphology, such as the presence of two roots and two root canals. The aim of this article was to present a case of a mandibular canine with two roots and two root canals and to review the available literature on this anatomic variation. Root ...

The aim of this study was to develop a prediction equation for estimating the total widths of the mandibular permanent canines and premolars (TCPW) using the total widths of the mandibular first permanent molars and incisors (TWFMI). The sample comprised 288 mandibular dental casts of orthodontic patients (106 males and 182 females, average age 13.8 and 14.4 years, respectively). A digital vern...
