Introdouction: Impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to asses...

Ectopic eruption is the abnormal eruption of a permanent tooth that often causes root resorption of an adjacent primary tooth which can be noted during routine dental radiographic evaluation. The mesial eruption of the permanent first molar may be a local eruption problem or may indicate developmental arch circumference deficiency requiring further consideration. Early treatment is mandatory to...

In biology, morphology refers to structure and form. For teeth, morphology means different things to dentists and dental anthropologists. Carlsen (1987) wrote a book called Dental Morphology that focused on the structure of the four types of teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Each tooth was broken down into its constituent parts, such as lobes, lobe segments, essential and accessory ridges, cus...

we report the delayed eruption and infraocclusion of a mandibular second primary molar with ectopic location of the permanent successor. this was a rare case where the second premolar was located to the distal side of the impacted mandibular second primary molar. early intervention is recommended to manage orofacial disfigurement and prevent consequent problems.

PURPOSE This study was performed to determine the relationship between the stage of tooth eruption (both vertical and mesio-angular) and chronological age. MATERIALS AND METHODS Indirect digital panoramic radiographs were used to measure the distances from the dentinoenamel junction (DEJ) of the second molars to the occlusal plane of the second molar teeth and of the adjacent third molars in ...

A 57-year-old man presented with mesial inclination of the lower right first molar caused by untreated loss of the second premolar. The occlusal relationship was restored by dental implant treatment following improvement of the intraoral environment by orthodontic therapy. At his initial visit, the interdental spacing in the molar-premolar region was inadequate, as the first molar had mesially ...

Intra-tooth sequential analysis of enamel δO is currently used to investigate birth seasonality in past animal populations, offering new insights into seasonal availability of animal resources, herd management and seasonality of site occupation. Reference datasets are still required to address two major difficulties: (1) inter-individual variability in the record of the seasonal cycle is affect...

The indications for impacted third molar extraction include the prevention of dental reabsorption on the adjacent tooth. Resorption can be classifi ed as physiological (when deciduous teeth are exfoliated) or pathological (when caused by injury or irritation to the periodontal ligament). Many causes can trigger external root resorption (ERR), the most common cause of which is orthodontic forces...
