Background and aim: This study evaluated the rates of second molars undergoing endodontic treatment due to partially or fully erupted lower upper third molars. 
 Materials Methods: Radiographic data from 579 patients were analyzed calculate other reasons. Descriptive statistics expressed as numbers percentages for categorical variables. The chi-square test was used determine relationships ...

Fusion of either primary or permanent molars is rare. Fusion can be either partial or complete, depending on the developmental stage of the teeth when the fusion began. This paper reports a case of unilateral fusion of maxillary primary molars associated with an adjacent succedaneous supernumerary permanent tooth. Three studies have reported primary double molars associated with syndromes. Two ...

This clinical case reports the treatment of an Angle Class II malocclusion in a young woman with a balanced face affected by agenesis of second and third mandibular molars and subsequent extrusion of second maxillary molars. The atypical and peculiar occlusal anomaly led to individualized treatment proposed in order to normalize dental malpositions, with subsequent rehabilitation of edentulous ...

Bitewing radiographs have been one of the dentist’s chief diagnostic tools in the dental clinic. They increase detection of interproximal caries approximately two-fold when compared to clinical examination alone. To a much lesser extent, the bitewing may be used to diagnose occlusal caries. The dentist examining a bitewing radiograph will pay attention to the alveolar crests thus assessing peri...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to identify the root and canal morphology of maxillary first and second molars in Iranian population by taking and analyzing cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. METHODS AND MATERIALS Extracted maxillary first (n=125) and second (n=125) molars were collected from native Iranians and scanned by using a CBCT scanner. The number of roots and...
