mechanics have been devised for the eruption of impeded and impacted teeth. One such device, the Monkey Hook,* was recently introduced as a method of applying lateral and vertical eruptive forces.1 The Kilroy Spring* is a new option that produces directional forces without the need for special patient compliance. The Kilroy Spring is a constant force module that is slid onto a rectangular archw...

AIM The aim of this report was to show the management of a case with an impacted central maxillary incisor caused by odontoma in a young patient with two mesiodentes in the region of the nasal floor. CASE REPORT A 9-year-old girl was seen in the Department of Orthodontics of the University of Rome 'Tor Vergata'. Radiographic images showed intraosseous impaction of the maxillary right central ...

Impaction of third molar is a common developmental abnormality. However, ectopic impaction of the mandibular third molar in condylar region is an extremely rare condition. This report describes a case of impacted tooth in the mandibular condyle without any associated pathologic condition. Also, this report presents the spatial relationship of the impacted mandibular third molar to the surroundi...

Cementoblastoma is characterized by the formation of cementum-like tissue in direct connection with the root of a tooth. It is a rare lesion constituting less than 1% of all odontogenic tumors. We report a unique case of a large cementoblastoma attached to the lateral root surface of an impacted permanent mandibular third molar in a 33 year old male patient. The association of cementoblastomas ...

Adenomatoid Odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a benign (hamartomatous) lesion of Odontogenic origin, which is relatively uncommon and affects young individuals with a female predominance, mainly in the second decade. This lesion is most commonly located i the anterior maxilla and is usually associated with an impacted canine tooth. The present case report is a 15year old female patient, who presented ...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor that predominantly appears in the second decade of life in female patients. Most AOTs occur in the anterior part of the maxilla and are usually associated with impacted anterior teeth. There are three types of AOT, follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral, which are classified based on the location of the lesion and its ...

abstract introductiion. there are a lot of edentulous patients who need complete dentures in any society. one of the most important problems of edentulous patients is remaining dental lesions. atrophy of maxillary or mandibular bone, infections abcesses, tumors and so on are among some other problems. in this study we tried to evaluate the panoramic radiography in order to detect these problems...

Impaction of canine teeth is a clinical problem whose treatment usually requires an interdisciplinary approach. After the maxillary third molar, the maxillary canine is the second-most commonly impacted tooth, with an incidence of 1% 2.5%. Maxillary canines are more common in females than males. This study reviews the surgical treatments and orthodontic considerations for impacted canines expos...

The incidence of nonsyndromic supernumerary premolars is rare. Supernumerary premolars are likely to undergo pathological changes. The most commonly encountered complications with these teeth are dentigerous cyst and root resorption of the adjacent tooth. This paper is about impacted double fused supernumerary premolars in the right mandiblular body associated with an impacted first premolar in...

The mandibular second molars can become impacted beneath the crown of the first molars due to various causes and fail to erupt normally. Presented herewith is a case report of orthodontic uprighting of a mesioangular impacted mandibular right permanent second molar. Though various treatment options were available, an uprighting push spring appliance was used as it is easy to fabricate and produ...
