Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental anomalies in a subpopulation of orthodontic patients with agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors (MLI). Methods: The material of the present study included the records of the 1964 orthodontic patients. Panoramic radiographs and dental casts were used to analyze other associated eight dental anomalies, including a...

Removal of third molars is the most common procedure in oral surgery. It may be associated with complications, such as sensory damage , dry socket, infection and iatrogenic damage. A case of mandibular angle fracture during third molar extraction in a 37-year-old female is reported. Literature review on the possible etiologies and ways of prevention were recorded. The reason is believed to be m...

Supernumerary teeth (SNT) are often associated with malocclusions. Data on SNT in the South African population not well documented. To determine prevalence, distribution of characteristics and any complications a sample dental patients. The study was retrospective, cross-sectional descriptive. Method: Orthopantomographs 12,005 patients were reviewed for presence SNT. number, morphology, locatio...

Background: Radiography is an inseparable part of dentistry, one which cephalometric techniques. Impacted tooth a con-dition the that cannot erupt completely; whereas malocclusion mismatch between two jaws. Objective: To de-termine prevalence maxillary third molars with skeletal at Hasanuddin University Hospital and Ladokgi Ma-kassar Hospital. Methods: This descriptive observational research us...

Objective: The aim of this study was to document the prevalence of maxillary permanent canine impaction in relation to anomalous adjacent lateral incisors in a Turkish population. Materials and Methods: Pretreatment orthodontic records of 68 subjects (27 male, 41 female) with palatal or buccal impaction of one or both permanent maxillary canines were included in this study. Localization of the ...

in recent years, more attention is paid to stainless steel 316l as fracture plate and fixation in human's body. present studies are focused on surface and metallurgical properties of this material. biocompatibelity of this material and its superior mechanical properties has made it the most demanded biomaterial. in this research, four different implants are investigated in three stages. four co...

AIM To provide clinicians with useful information for immediate diagnosis and management of impacted maxillary incisors due to trauma. METHODS We present a case of post-traumatic impaction of a central right maxillary incisor in a young patient. The treatment plan consisted in the interceptive management (surgical and orthodontic), the valuation of the necessary space to move the impacted too...

Neurosensory disturbances of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN), or the lingual nerve (LN), are commonly reported in cases of third mandibular molar impaction. Cases are usually documented by use of imagistic methods. Dissection proofs of the detailed anatomy in such cases are rare, if not absent. It is reported here a dissection study in a case of an impacted (buccoangular) third mandibular mol...

Background. This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a woman, aged 17 years, with a permanent dentition, brachyfacial typology, Angle Class I, with full impaction of two canines (13,33), and a severe ectopy of the maxillary left canine. Her main compliant was the position of the ectopic teeth. Methods. Straightwire fixed appliances, together with cantilever mechanics, were used t...

PURPOSE In this retrospective study, we analyzed immediate and late mandibular fractures after impacted lower third molar surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred fifty oral and maxillofacial surgeons in the north of- France were questioned about their experience with intraoperative and late mandibular fracture after third molar surgery. Cases were examined clinically and radiographically. ...
