Hyperdontia or supernumerary teeth in both arches without any syndromic manifestation are extremely rare. Supernumerary teeth are commonly associated with Gardner's syndrome, cleft lip and palate, cleidocranial dysplasia and trichorhinopha-langeal syndrome. Five cases of non-syndromic multiple premolars of maxillary and mandibular arches in Indian patients are presented here. This case series r...

Cleidocranial dysplasia is a developmental anomaly of the skeleton and the teeth which is result of faulty development of membranous bones. This condition may be inherited or transmitted as dominant characteristics in either sex, or even may appear spontaneously. It presents with a wide range of features, characterized by clavicular aplasia or hypoplasia, short stature, supernumerary teeth. Oth...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine the radiographic features associated with impacted premaxillary supernumerary teeth, to determine the relationship between their characteristics and their effects on permanent incisors, and to investigate the types of orthodontic treatment that patients received after the extraction of impacted supernumerary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinica...

AIM This study aims at examining the difficulty in performing forced eruption of impacted maxillary canines, using CBCT information and according to experienced orthodontist's opinion. The second aim was to find the most important factors related to this decision. METHODS Based on a careful literature review on impacted maxillary canines, ten main factors were selected to assess difficulties ...

Background: The most commonly impacted teeth are the third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary central incisors and premolars. Impacted premolars may lead to aesthetic concerns, masticatory inefficiency and oral hygiene difficulties as well as follicle pathology and destruction of adjacent structures, including neighboring teeth, the purpose of this study to shade light on the prevalence of im...

The study analyses the location of impacted maxillary canines and factors influencing root resorptions of adjacent teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). In addition, the interrater reliability between observers of two different dental specialties for radiographic parameters will be evaluated. CBCT images of patients who were referred for radiographic localization of impacted maxilla...

dentigerous cysts, commonly encountered in the practice of dentistry, are benign odontogenic cysts associated with crowns of unerupted and/or impacted permanent teeth. they frequently occur during the second and third decades of life. treatment modalities range from enucleation to marsupialization, which may be influenced by the age of the patient, severity of impaction, and root form of associ...

The purpose of this study was to find out the types of pathologies that can arise in association with impacted wisdom teeth. Two hundred consecutive patients scheduled for extraction of one or more of their impacted wisdom teeth were evaluated clinically and radiographically. Orthopantogram (OPG) was the standard radiograph. 194 (97 %) of the teeth were associated with pathologies. Pericoroniti...
