Abstract Impaction of maxillary central incisors is not common. Treatment of an impacted central incisor is challenging as it relates to facial esthetics and dental function. Although impaction of permanent teeth is rarely diagnosed in mixed dentition period, an impacted central incisor is usually diagnosed when there is a delay in the eruption of tooth. Tooth impaction may result from...

BACKGROUND This article describes the management of a complicated crown root fracture. CASE REPORT A young patient presented with a crown root fracture of the maxillary left central incisor with an oblique subgingival fracture line. A multidisciplinary treatment approach including endodontic treatment, orthodontic extrusion, surgical extraction and intra-alveolar repositioning was used to gai...

AIM The aim was to evaluate the relationship of age, sex and lip length to the amount of exposure of maxillary incisors and canine teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two-hundred subjects were enrolled in the study. All subjects were grouped according to the lip length and age. The exposure of maxillary central incisor and canines was measured with flexible millimeter ruler. Teeth exposure beyond th...

the success of endodontic therapy requires knowledge of the internal and external dental anatomy and its variations in presentation. this case report involves endodontic treatment of a traumatized maxillary central incisor with two separate roots.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare the width ratio of maxillary anterior teeth according to age in the Korean population and to evaluate the maxillary central incisor width-to-length (W/L) ratio, given differences in age and gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-three Korean adults were divided into 3 groups (n = 31) by age. Group I was 20 - 39 years old, Group II was 40 - 59 yea...

AIM This clinical report presents a rare case of maxillary central incisor with two separate roots. BACKGROUND Unusual morphology of the roots and root canals may exist in any tooth. Recognition of the dental anatomy and its variations is necessary for successful endodontic therapy. It is well known that maxillary incisors are usually single-rooted teeth. CASE REPORT The root canals were in...

Introduction: Odontomas are the most common type of odontogenic tumors of the oral cavity and are described as one of the contributing factors to tooth impaction. The impaction of the maxillary incisors causes several esthetic and functional problems. A multidisciplinary approach is required for proper planning, surgical pro-cedure, and orthodontic traction of the impacted tooth. Case Presenta...

To evaluate the torque expression of right permanent maxillary central incisor with varying bracket positions and to compare same tooth different crown-root angulations. Finite Element Models Maxillary Central Incisor were used for simulation various angles. Three FEM models a angles (170˚,175˚,180˚, 165°) constructed heights subjected 30° labial root resultant expressions evaluated. The model ...

2). O ccas ional ly , orthodontists and genera l dentists encounter a patient who has traumatically avulsed a maxillary central incisor or a pa tient with a geminated or fused maxillary central incisor that must be removed. In either situa tion, a decision must be made about the eventual restoration of the anterior edentulous space. Several options exist for replacing a missing maxillary centra...
