primary tooth impaction is a rare finding during the development of primary dentition. several factors contribute to the impaction of a deciduous tooth. this report describes the diagnosis and treatment of a 10-year-old boy who presented an impacted second primary mandibular molar. this tooth, located inferior to the second premolar together with an odontoma, was positioned superior to the prem...

single rooted primary mandibular first molar is a rare developmental anomaly. literatures reveal that failure of invagination of hertwig's epithelial root sheath leads to this unusual root form. thorough knowledge of root canal morphology and anatomical variations of primary teeth can help a pediatric dentist in successful root canal treatment. hereby, we describe two cases of primary mandibula...

missing of mandibular second premolar is one of the most common types of tooth agenesis. in such cases, maintenance of the primary second molar, if possible at all, can prevent many treatment procedures in future. the present case report represents the endodontic management of a necrotic left mandibular primary second molar that had developed an abscess. considering the missing of the permanent...

Supernumerary teeth are among the most common dental anomalies affecting the primary and permanent dentition. They are usually found in the anterior maxilla and occur infrequently in the primary dentition. The purpose of this paper was to report a case diagnosed with primary supernumerary tooth in the primary second molar region. The crown and root shape of the primary supernumerary tooth resem...

This report is a clinical case of a 7-year-old child who presented right impacted second primary mandibular molar. This tooth was positioned inferior to the second premolar successor and a supernumerary tooth superior to the second premolar. Clinical examination did not reveal systemic diseases ot trauma in the facial region. Treatment consisted of the extraction of the impacted second primary ...

The case of an immature natal maxillary first primary molar is reported. Natal molars are rare occurrences, the present instance being only the eighteenth reported case. Clinical and histologic examination revealed that the tooth was rootless, incompletely mineralized, and acutely inflamed. Subsequent radiographs showed that the tooth was actually the primary first molar.

Tooth impaction is defined as any tooth that fails to erupt into a normal functional position and remains unerupted beyond the time at which it should normally erupt. Reports of impaction and eruption failure in primary teeth are relatively rare compared to permanent teeth. We report 2 rare cases where the second premolar was located on the occlusal side of the impacted mandibular second primar...

introdouction: impacted mandibular third molar surgery may affect periodontal status of the adjacent second molar. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in periodontal health parameters distal to the adjacent second molar following surgical extraction of an impacted mandibular third molar. materials and methods: we selected 50 subjects with a mean age of 22.8 (ranging from 18 to...

Ankylosis of primary mandibular molars has been routinely found to be associated with various developmental disturbances in permanent dentition such as aplasia of the succedaneous tooth, ectopic eruption of the premolar, infraoclusion of the ankylosed tooth leading to tipping of the first permanent molar etc. This article describes a rare case where there was ankylosis of a mandibular second pr...
