Intrusions occur frequently in the primary dentition. It has been reported that conservative treatment of the intruded primary tooth is preferred if the apex is away from the permanent tooth germ. Conservative treatments include waiting for spontaneous re-eruption, and surgical re-positioning and fixation. Few papers have been published in Japan comparing the prognoses of intruded primary teeth...

BACKGROUND Severe damage to the tooth, periodontal ligament, and pulpal tissue often occurs with intrusive luxation, and outcomes are quite unpredictable because of the variable ways in which the injury may occur, which influences both the choice of treatment and prognosis. CASE REPORT This case presents a novel method for the management of an intruded permanent maxillary central incisor with...

Odontomas represent the most common type of odontogenic jaw tumors among patients younger than 20 years of age. Clinically, they are often associated with eruption failure of adjacent permanent teeth, and are classified as compound and complex. The aim of the present retrospective study was to present the characteristics, treatment approach and outcome of odontomas in Greek children, over a ten...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the eruption speed and rate of angulation change of a cyst-associated mandibular second premolar after marsupialization of a dentigerous cyst in preadolescents. Premolars on the cyst and noncyst sides and size of the cyst were retrospectively examined with a total of 42 pairs of normalized panoramic radiographs in 20 patients who underwent neither ex...

OBJECTIVE To determine the timing and sequence of eruption of primary teeth in children with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate. MATERIAL AND METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Hospital for Rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies of the University of São Paulo, Bauru, SP, Brazil, with a sample of 395 children (128 girls and 267 boys) aged 0 to 48 months, with comple...

Eruption is the continuous process of movement a tooth from its developmental location inside jaw to functional in mouth. Impaired eruption, where this disturbed, common dental practice. It may manifest either as delayed or complete absence eruption. This article reviews local and systemic conditions under which IITE has been reported occur. The terminology related disturbances eruption also re...

the permanent successor is present, eruption of a submerged tooth may be delayed or redirected from its normal path into a malaligned position. If the permanent successor is absent, loss of dental arch space is likely, and a midline discrepancy may occur because the mesiodistal width of the primary submerged tooth is greater than that of the contralateral premolar. Also, overeruption of the opp...

Ectopic eruption into the nasal cavity is a rare phenomenon and even rarer among cleft lip and palate patients. A case of an intranasal tooth associated with cacosmia in a 5-year-old patient with cleft lip and palate is reported. Several previous surgeries had been performed to correct the patient’s cleft. The patient was evaluated by computed tomography, and the tooth was removed from the nost...
