A 38-year-old male presented with a slowly growing mass of the right mandible. The lesion displaced the mandibular canine and premolar teeth on the same side.

Congenitally missing teeth (CMT) are among one of the commonly known dental anomalies. The most frequently missing teeth in the permanent dentition, excluding the third molars, are mandibular second premolars and maxillary lateral incisors. Exclusive agenesis of both maxillary canines is an extremely rare occurrence and only a few cases have been reported. Previous studies showed that the preva...

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of panoramic radiography and the buccal object rule in intraoral periapical radiography for localization of impacted maxillary canine teeth. Methods: A total of 20 panoramic radiographs depicting 28 displaced maxillary canines were evaluated. The ratio of the mesiodistal width of the impacted canine to the mesiodistal width of the...

It had been reported that the domestication of dogs began in the late Paleolithic and Mesolithic period. Since, there is a lack of information on anatomical measurements of the skulls of dogs and its clinical value during regional anesthesia; the present work was taken. The investigation was carried out on nineteen mandibles and upper jaws from adult dogs aged between 4-8-year-old without any a...

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to assess the dental arch asymmetry in a Yemeni sample aged (18-25) years. MATERIALS AND METHODS The investigation involved clinical examination of 1479 adults; only 253 (129 females, 124 males) out of the total sample were selected to fulfill the criteria for the study sample. Study models were constructed and evaluated to measure mandibular arch dimensions...

AIM To determine the association of impacted maxillary canines with other developmental dental anomalies and compare them with a control population and to compare palatally and labially impacted canine associated anomalies. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ninety non-syndromic orthodontic patients from a south Indian population, with either labial or palatal impactions of one or both maxillary canine te...
