Dilaceration is one of the most common complications of trauma to deciduous dentition. The possible causes of dilaceration are trauma and developmental disturbances, while some authors suggest an association with some developmental syndromes. Dilaceration can be seen in both the permanent and deciduous dentition. The present case report describes surgical repositioning of a dilacerated impacted...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and distribution of dilaceration in all tooth groups by using radiographs. STUDY DESIGN The sample included 953 periapical intraoral radiographs and 488 panoramic radiographs from different caucasian patients. The ages of the patients ranged from 18-65 years. Dilaceration of the root was detected by measuring the degree of deviation from the long axis (de...

Two possible causes of crown dilaceration are trauma and developmental disturbances, and it has also been proposed that it might be associated with some developmental syndromes. This article details the diagnosis and describes the alterations in endodontic treatment procedures while managing crown dilaceration in maxillary central incisor. Diagnosis, endodontic access cavity preparation, root c...

Dilaceration is the result of a developmental anomaly in which there has been an abrupt change in the axial inclination between the crown and the root of a tooth, but the criteria in the literature for recognizing root dilaceration vary. Two possible causes of dilaceration are trauma and developmental disturbances, and it has also been proposed that it might be associated with some developmenta...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of root dilaceration in a Turkish dental patient population, considering factors such as dental localization and the relationship between the sexes in this anomaly. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was performed using periapical radiography of 2,124 patients, who ranged in age from 15 to 65 years old. All data (age, sex and sy...

Traumatic injuries to primary dentition may interfere with the development of permanent dentition. Among the many malformations, dilaceration is particularly important to the clinician. Management of dilacerated maxillary central incisor requires a multidisciplinary approach. The main purpose of this review is to present the etiological factors, the mechanism, clinical features, radiographic fe...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dilaceration is defined as a sudden change in the axial inclination of root or between the crown and the root of a tooth. There is no previous study evaluating its prevalence in south of Iran. PURPOSE This study evaluates the prevalence of root dilaceration on the basis of its location in dental arch in a sample of dental patients referring to Shiraz dental school, Iran. ...

Traumatic injuries to the primary dentition are quite common. When primary teeth are subjected to trauma, force transmission and/or invasion of the underlying tooth germs lying in close proximity can result in a variety of disturbances in the permanent successors. Few of these disturbances include hypoplasia, dilaceration, or alteration in the eruption sequence and pattern. Dilaceration is defi...

Abstract Introduction: dilaceration is a disturbance in tooth formation that produces a sharp bend or curve in the tooth. this anomaly has a negative effect on the treatment of root canals, orthodontics and surgery. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of root dilaceration using Cone Beam Tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods:In this study, a total of 206 CBCT images(5434t...
