The removal of impacted mandibular third molar is a common surgical procedure entailing some risk of complications, especially when the tooth and the inferior alveolar nerve and/or lingual cortical plate are in close proximity. A technique that can reduce the possibility of damage is the Ultra Sonic Bone Surgery. The aim of this report is to present a paradigmatic case of an impacted mandibular...

Ectopic third molar teeth are those that are impacted in unusual positions or that have been displaced and are at a distance from their normal anatomic location [1]. It is common have to ectopic eruption of a tooth within the oral cavity but rare in other sites of the jaw [2]. Reports are present with teeth eruption in the nasal septum, ascending ramus of mandible, mandibular condyle, and lower...

The movement of the mesiolingual cusp of the maxillary left first molar was studied in the frontal and horizontal planes. The movement was studied while varying the top wall, rear wall, and incisal guidance on the articulator. It can be concluded that the top wall inclination may significantly influence movement of the mesisolingual cusp of the maxillary first molar during working mandibular mo...

The mandibular second molar impaction is a rare dental anomaly with a very challenging treatment. Although there are some treatment modalities, often the proper option is surgical exposure and orthodontically assisted eruption with a high rate of success depending on the appropriate appliance design, which assures a good control of the tooth movement with minimum side effects. A case report of ...

INTRODUCTION The root canal treatment of a mandibular molar with aberrant canal configuration can be diagnostically and technically challenging. METHODS This case report presents the clinical management of a mandibular first molar with three separate mesial canals including middle mesial canal, which was confirmed by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. RESULTS Posttreatment images ...

precise localization of the third molars in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve canal is critical from a clinical point of view and strongly affects the surgical treatment outcome. recently, by using three-dimensional modeling software, the relationship of third molar root apices and inferior alveolar nerve canal can be better understood. in this study, the spatial relationship of two surgi...

There are many causes of root canal failure, among them the most common cause is undiagnosed canal. Mandibular molars typically have two roots mesial and distal. However, sometimes an additional buccally (radix entomalris) or lingually (paramolaris) may be present. Awareness, diagnosis, biomechanical preparation important for successful outcome therapy. This article presents management mandibul...

A mandibular fi rst molar with two distal roots is an interesting example of anatomic variation. This paper describes case reports of mandibular fi rst molar with three roots (one mesial and two distal) and four canals (two in mesial and one in each distobuccal and distolingual root). The canals were shaped with protaper rotary fi les and irrigated with 5.25% sodium hyochlorite, 0.2 %w/v of chl...

An impacted left mandibular second molar (tooth 37) was extracted, but most of its dental follicle remained in the socket. The crown and dental papilla of an unerupted, left mandibular third molar (tooth 38) were then placed into the socket of tooth 37. Successful interaction between the dental follicle of tooth 37 and the crown and dental papilla of tooth 38 led to the formation of a new tooth...

Introduction: Treatments with dental surgery seek to displace tooth to the correct position within the dental arch. Objective: To report a clinical case that took advantage of an unerupted third molar. Case history: A male patient, 18 years of age, was referred by his dentist to evaluate the third molars. The clinical exam revealed no visible lower third molars. The computed tomography (CT...
