This paper describes the clinical course of a pediatric patient developing cervical external root resorption (CERR). An 11-year old male patient had sustained dental trauma and was diagnosed with crown fracture affecting the incisal and middle thirds of the maxillary right permanent central incisor and the maxillary right permanent lateral incisor with pulp exposure and CERR after 24 months. Di...

A radicular cyst arises from epithelial remnants stimulated to proliferate by an inflammatory process originating from pulpal necrosis of a non-vital tooth. Radiographically, the classical description of the lesion is a round or oval, wellcircumscribed radiolucent image involving the apex of the tooth. A radicular cyst is usually sterile unless it is secondarily infected. This paper presents a ...

Dens evaginatus is a developmental anomaly that is observed as additional tuberculate cusp on the palatal surface of incisor teeth (talon cusp) or the occlusal surface of molar teeth. This additional cusp consists of enamel, dentin, and usually pulp. A 9-year-old boy presented with a talon cusp on the palatal surface of maxillary left lateral incisor. The clinical and radiographic appearance an...

INTRODUCTION Severe incisor root resorption (SIRR) associated with impacted maxillary canines is rare but has important implications. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative. In this investigation, we aimed to identify predisposing factors for impacted canine-linked SIRR. METHODS Clinical and radiographic data of 55 consecutive patients (77 canines) with SIRR of 96 incisors were compared...

Maxillary lateral incisors usually exhibit a single root with a single canal. However, maxillary lateral incisor teeth with unusual morphology of root canal system are frequently reported. These cases of variable root canal anatomy can be treated well by nonsurgical endodontic methods. A detailed description of root canal morphology is fundamental for successful endodontic treatment. Treatment ...

Maxillary lateral incisors are widely known to be single rooted with one root canal. Although rare cases with root canal variations are being reported in many populations, the reports regarding Iranian population is extremely limited. In this report, we are presenting the endodontic treatment of a double rooted maxillary lateral incisor. These rare root-canal variations should be considered in ...

Dental fusion and agenesis present unique esthetic challenges for the dental team when discovered in a developing child. This article highlights treatment of a 9-year-old girl with fusion of a maxillary central and lateral incisor with a congenitally missing lateral over a 10-year period. The article defines the developmental anomalies, provides a review of treatment options for the clinical te...

MANY APPROACHES FOR CROWDED MANDIBULAR ANTERIOR TEETH ARE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED: distal movement of posterior teeth, lateral movement of canines, labial movement of incisors, interproximal enamel reduction, removal of premolars, removal of one or two incisors, and various combinations of the above. Selecting the best treatment is often difficult, and all guidelines do not apply to every case. Trea...

Aim: Film digitization is generally used to prevent potential damage or loss of original films. The method of film processing has been changing from wet to dry processing due to recent trends toward digitization of medical imaging. Materials & Methods: 50 Lateral cephalometric radiograms were used in this study. All radiographs were viewed under standardized conditions& traced. Eleven landmarks...

INTRODUCTION Dental transposition and impaction are disorders related to ectopic eruption or failure in tooth eruption, which can affect child physical, mental and social development and may be difficult to be clinically solved. METHODS We describe a case of transposition between the upper left canine and lateral incisor associated with impaction of the central incisor on the same side, in a ...
