Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare congenital disorder, typically characterized by persistently open skull sutures, aplastic or hypoplastic clavicles, and supernumerary teeth. Mutations in the gene encoding the runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) protein are responsible for approximately two thirds of CCD patients. We report a 20-year-old CCD patient presenting not only with typica...

Fusion of teeth is a developmental anomaly. It occurs at the stage of tooth formation, which determines the shape and size of the tooth crown, when one or more teeth fuse at the dentin level during the morphodifferentiation of the dental germs. Such teeth show macrodontia and may cause crowding, as well as esthetic and endodontic problems. In this article, we report a rare case of a maxillary c...

An anomaly was recorded in the pecten shape of scorpion species Mesobuthus turcicus Kova?ík et al., 2022 that recently described from Turkey. In this case, it is observed marginal and median lamellae fulcrae are fused right pecten. For reason, bent counter clockwise. Different other pectinal anomalies, size teeth developed normally but number fewer. This teratological on illustrated. first repo...

INTRODUCTION The fusion of permanent teeth is a development anomaly of dental hard tissue. It may require a hard multidisciplinary approach with orthodontics, endodontics, surgery and prosthetics to solve aesthetic and functional problems. CASE PRESENTATION A 20-year-old Caucasian man presented to our Department to solve a dental anomaly of his upper central incisors. An oral investigation re...

INTRODUCTION Perforations of the pulpal floor create problems during endodontic treatment and often results in secondary periodontal involvement with eventual loss of teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Amalgam, zinc oxide and eugenol (ZOE) and Portland cement to seal furcal perforations in extracted human molars using dye penetratio...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the level of patients' satisfaction with appearance of maxillary anterior teeth restorations and to determine if there is a significant difference in patients' assessment of restoration appearance with regard to gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred subjects evaluated the colour, anatomical shape and surface texture of maxillary anterior teeth...

The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of dental fusion and gemination in permanent teeth in Coppadocia region in Turkey. The distributions of these conditions among different types were also studied. The present study was based on the clinical assessment and panoramic radiographs of 8,229 patients. All of these patients were examined clinically and had radiographs a...

BACKGROUND A prospective study was started in 1995 to evaluate the success of carbon fibre reinforced epoxy resin (CFRR) posts used to restore endodontically treated teeth. All the teeth in the study had lost more than 50% of their coronal structure. METHODS Fifty-nine carbon fibre Composiposts cemented with Metabond and built up with Core Paste cores were placed into the teeth of 47 patients...
