Figure 2. Extrusion after 1 week. A subgingivally fractured incisor presents a restorative challenge. Orthodontic eruption is a good alternative to crown lengthening for restoring the biological width, maintaining the alveolar bone, and restoring esthetics. The technique requires a hook to serve as the attachment system, fixed to the fractured tooth root, and an anchorage bar to allow movement ...

INTRODUCTION Posterior open bite has several possible causes, including primary failure of eruption (PFE) that affects all teeth distal to the most mesial involved tooth, mechanical failure of eruption (MFE) (primarily ankylosis) that affects only the involved tooth or teeth, and soft-tissue interferences with eruption (other). METHODS Radiographs and other clinical records for 97 cases of fa...

background and aims. predicting the teeth eruption time is a valuable tool in pediatric dentistry since it can affects scheduling dental and orthodontic treatments. this study investigated the relationship between the eruption time of first primary and permanent teeth and the variation in the eruption time considering socioeconomic status (ses) in a 9-year population- based cohort study. materi...

Tooth eruption is an orientating action which migrates teeth coronally during life, even in bone or after occlusion contact is lost. The eruption pathway is due to bone resorption near the enamel crown and bone deposition around the cementum-covered roots. Due to their proximity to bone resorption and deposition, we hypothesize that the hard tissues enamel, dentine or cementum are important dur...

Odontomas, benign tumors that develop in the jaw, rarely erupt into the oral cavity. We report an erupted odontoma which delayed eruption of the first molar. The patient was a 10-year-old Japanese girl who came to our hospital due to delayed eruption of the right maxillary first molar. All the deciduous teeth had been shed. The second premolar on the right side had erupted, but not the first mo...

Background: Primary tooth impaction is quite rare during the development of primary dentition. Various factors contribute to the impaction of a deciduous tooth, including anklyosis, congenitally missing permanent teeth, defects in the periodontal membrane, trauma, injury of the periodontal ligament, precocious eruption of the first permanent molar, defective eruptive force, or a combination of ...

Developmental changes of the buccal teeth segments on the longitudinal dentitions during the period of buccal teeth exchange and the factors having effect on their dimensional changes were investigated by using three groups: normal group, group with good alignment in spite of the premature loss of the second deciduous molar and the group resulting ultimately in bad alignment. The dimensional ch...

eruption cysts are benign cysts that appear on the mucosa of a tooth shortly befo re its eruption. they may disappear by themselves but if they hurt, bleed or are infected they may require surgical treatment to expose the tooth and drain the contents. here we present 2 case reports of eruption cysts presenting with different chief complaint. the treatment included incising the eruption cyst and...
