introduction dental trauma is one of the most serious oral conditions especially among children. it frequently occurs in children from 6 to 13 years old, often involving teeth with incomplete root formation. the most common dental injury at this age is crown fracture. arguments to provide this clinical guide, pubmed and scopus were searched using the following keywords: immature, incisor and pu...

an accurate diagnosis of the morphology of the root canal system is a pre-requisite for successful root canal treatment. frequently, root canals are left untreated because the clinicians fail to identify their presence, particularly in teeth that have anatomical variations or additional root canals. in this report a maxillary lateral incisor with two roots has been described.

Fusion of teeth is the union of two or more tooth germs, which are usually separated. Depending upon the stage of odontogenesis, it can be complete or incomplete. The present case describes fusion between the maxillary primary right central and lateral incisor with a supernumerary tooth. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed the presence of fused triple teeth. The fused teeth were extr...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect interceptive primary canine extraction in palatally and buccally displaced maxillary permanent canines, analyze clinical radiographic factors affecting treatment outcome. 97 canines from 86 patients whose were mesio-occlusal directions overlapped with roots adjacent teeth analyzed. In 64 (66.0%) crown completely deviated lateral incisor root ...

This was a cross-sectional study of the prevalence and orthodontic management developmental missing permanent maxillary lateral incisor patients referred for treatment from year 2010 to 2020. The dental records written case notes, radiographs, models that fulfilled inclusion criteria were selected using systematic sampling assessed retrospectively. Sample taken every five records.

Double or fusion of the teeth is a primary developmental anomaly union of two independently developing primary or permanent teeth. The tooth fusion may contribute to various significant problems such as crowding, caries and periodontal diseases and they may be associated with anomalies in the succeeding permanent dentition which necessitate careful examination & proper treatment planning becaus...

Dental anomaly in number, size and shape might be due to excessive activation of dental lamina during the morpho-differentiation stage. Fusion is one of the most unusual and rare anomalies of shape of the teeth. It frequently involves the supernumerary teeth resulting in a challenging differential diagnosis with gemination. Dental anomalies may result in different problems such as delayed erupt...

A 3-and-a-half-year-old male child presented with fused cariously involved right maxillary primary central and lateral incisors as well as a previously traumatized non-vital left primary central incisor with a draining fistula. The child also had other restorative needs and the decision taken was to address all needs under a G.A. With respect to the fused incisors, these were split and root can...

The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most common congenitally absent tooth. There are several treatment options for replacing the missing maxillary lateral incisor, including canine substitution, tooth-supported restoration, or single-tooth implant. Dental implants are an appropriate treatment option for replacing missing maxillary lateral incisor teeth in adolescents when their dental a...

This article describes the treatment of a girl in whom anterior trauma during the deciduous dentition had caused a dilacerated maxillary central incisor in the mixed dentition. The dilacerated central incisor was extracted, and a canine was transposed to the extraction site. Canine transposition was performed so that the lateral incisor could be maintained in its normal position. This article d...
