distraction osteogenesis method (do) in bone lengthening and rapid midpalatal expansion have shown the great ability of osteognic tissues for rapid bone formation under distraction force and special protocol with optimum rate of one millimeter per day. periodontal membrane of teeth (pdm) is the extension of periostium in the alveolar socked. orthodontic force distracts pdm fibers in the tension...

Background: A canine is classified as "transmigrated" when it crosses the midline. Transmigration of mandibular canines bilaterally an extremely rare developmental dental ectopia with obscure etiology. Case Description:A 13 year old female and 10 male patient reported to department chief complaint missing teeth in upper front region retained deciduous tooth lower respectively. Panoramic radiogr...

Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the surgical and orthodontic findings of combined orthodontic-surgical management of unerupted permanent teeth performed by the same team in one clinic and using the same fully repositioned flap as the surgical technique for tooth exposure. Methods This was a retrospective study using patients’ records, orthopantomographs and lateral cephalographs. F...

Vitalometer tests were performed on 108 primary canines in 48 children from 5 through 10years of age and on 40 permanent canines in 20 adults. Mean readings increased for each age in children with standard deviations increasing for each age up to the 10 to 11 group. Readings from adults were significantly higher than for each age group from 6 through lO years, but with some overlap of ranges. R...

Impaction of maxillary canines is a frequently encountered clinical problem in orthodontic therapy. When a preventive approach fails, treatment involves surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, followed by orthodontic traction to guide and align it into the dental arch. The primary goal of surgical phase is to provide the means for correct position of orthodontic anchorage. Additionally, the te...

Objectives: To fi nd out if there is an association of MICs (Maxillary impacted canines) with third molar agenesis and other dental anomalies.Materials Methods: Data were collected using records patients who visited the study setting during period. There total 130 in control group cases group. Pre-treatment (OPG CBCT) all used to assess canines missing molars. Diff erence between groups was ass...

Impaction most commonly involves lower third molars, followed by permanent upper canines. Warford et al11 used a bi-condylar line as a horizontal reference line to predict the maxillary canine impaction in mixed dentition. The measurement was taken of the mesial angle formed by using the constructed horizontal and the long axis of the maxillary canine. In this study, a modified Warford method w...
