statement of problem: knowledge of internal anatomy of tooth plays an important role in a successful endodontics treatment. for a proper endodontic treatment, it is not only important to know the form of normal anatomy of tooth’s interior but one must also be acquainted with the possible diverse forms. purpose: a thorough understanding of the internal anatomy of human mandibular incisors (centr...

This report involves two cases of extreme dilaceration of the permanent mandibular incisor teeth. A history of trauma sustained to the primary dentition was elicited in each case. Although a relatively rare condition, several reports have been made regarding dilacerated maxillary incisor teeth. Very few case reports could be found involving dilacerated mandibular teeth.

Bilateral mandibular tooth transposition is a relatively rare dental anomaly caused by distal migration of the mandibular lateral incisors and can be detected in the early mixed dentition by radiographic examination. Early diagnosis and interceptive intervention may reduce the risk of possible transposition between the mandibular canine and lateral incisor. This report illustrates the orthodont...

MANY APPROACHES FOR CROWDED MANDIBULAR ANTERIOR TEETH ARE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED: distal movement of posterior teeth, lateral movement of canines, labial movement of incisors, interproximal enamel reduction, removal of premolars, removal of one or two incisors, and various combinations of the above. Selecting the best treatment is often difficult, and all guidelines do not apply to every case. Trea...

introduction an in vitro study was performed to determine the number and the type of root canals of mandibular incisor teeth in an iranian population. methods and materials sixty eight mandibular incisor teeth were immersed in india ink decalcified and cleared. results it was found that 55.9% of the teeth had two canals that in 51.5% of them the canals merged into one canal before exiting the t...

Aim: The aim of this study was to survey the root canal morphology of mandibular incisor teeth in a Palestinian population using radiographic approach. Materials and Methods: Five hundred and twenty two extracted mandibular incisor teeth were randomly collected from Palestinian population. The teeth were radiographed from a mesiodistal direction and examined for the presence of a second canal a...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the root canal morphology of permanent mandibular incisor teeth in the Indian subpopulation with the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIAL/METHODS CBCT images of 200 patients with 800 permanent mandibular incisors, fulfilling necessary inclusion criteria and aged 18 to 60 years were evaluated. The number of roots, number of root...

Anomaly in the number of teeth may manifest as a supernumerary tooth. Occurrence of a supernumerary tooth in the mandibular incisor region is uncommon. This report presents a rare case of five mandibular permanent incisors in a nine year old non-syndrome healthy male child. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed the presence of a supplemental (type of supernumerary) permanent incisor in...

With one exception, the English dental literature reveals no report of natal or neonatal teeth associated with anomalous development of their permanent successors. In a singular longitudinal study of 12 infants with natal mandibular incisor teeth, Gardiner reported essentially normal subsequent development, except for one infant with natal mandibular central incisors whose permanent replacement...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate transversally the clinical correlation between lower incisor crowding and mandible third molar. STUDY DESIGN Three hundred healthy volunteers (134 male and 166 female), aged 20.4 (±2.4) years-old were submitted to a complete clinical examination and filled up a questionnaire about gender, age, total teeth number and presence or absence of super...
