A 42-year-old Mediterranean male presented complaining of inability to sustain good oral care at the posterior aspect of the lower right jaw. The main problems were food impaction in the area and the subsequent malodor. The patient reported remarkable medical history. Clinical examination revealed local erytherma with noticeable bone defect distal to the second molar with obvious defect in the ...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014205000 DESCRIPTION A 15-year-old boy reported with extra teeth in his upper left and right back region since 4–5 years. Medical and family history did not reveal any related positive findings. On detailed intraoral examination, supernumerary teeth were found dis...

During the formation of repetitive ectodermally derived organs such as mammary glands, lateral line and teeth, the tissue primordium iteratively initiates new structures. In the case of successional molar development, new teeth appear sequentially in the posterior region of the jaw from Sox2 cells in association with the posterior aspect of a pre-existing tooth. The sequence of molar developmen...

During the formation of repetitive ectodermally derived organs such as mammary glands, lateral line and teeth, the tissue primordium iteratively initiates new structures. In the case of successional molar development, new teeth appear sequentially in the posterior region of the jaw from Sox2(+) cells in association with the posterior aspect of a pre-existing tooth. The sequence of molar develop...

Introduction: The periodontal support apparatus is extremely important due to guarantee insertion the tooth. It helps with maintenance of structural resistance and reconstructive property, its loss may contribute root exposure possibility obtain an augmentation sensitivity. Thereby, this paper aimed describe a case report, using regenerative techniques in bone involving distal furcation regions...

background and aims. the surgical removal of the lower third molars is a procedure generally followed by side effects such as postoperative pain. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of socket irrigation with an anesthetic solution in relieving pain following impacted third molar surgery. materials and methods. thirty-four patients (17 males and 17 females), aged 18-24 years, with...

The connective tissue of the human tooth arises from cells that are derived from the cranial neural crest and, thus, are termed as "ectomesenchymal cells." Here, cells being located in a pad-like tissue adjacent to the apex of the developing tooth, which we designated the third molar pad, were separated by the microexplant technique. When outgrowing from the explant, dental neural crest-derived...
