This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a woman, aged 15 years, with permanent dentition, brachyfacial typology, with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors. Multibracket straightwire fixed appliance was used to open the space for dental implant placement, and treat the impaired occlusion. The missing lateral incisors were substituted with oral implants.

Purpose: Morphological dental anomalies of the maxillary lateral incisors are relatively common. However, their simultaneous occurrence is a relatively rare event. We report a case of dens invaginatus and talon cusp concurrently affecting maxillary lateral incisors. The etiology, pathophysiology, association with other dental anomalies, as well as various treatment modalities of these anomalies...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The use of miniscrews has expedited the true maxillary incisor intrusion and has minimized untoward side effects such as labial tipping. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the stress distribution in the periodontal ligament of maxillary incisors when addressed to different models of intrusion mechanics using miniscrews by employing finite element methods. The...

Patient Jiang, Female,25 years old, came to the clinic for irregular teeth. The case was reported as lingual tipping deep overbite with maxillary undersized lateral incisors, which patient did not accept restore malocclusion morphology by denture, resulting in selection of extraction bilateral incisors and mandibular second premolars, orthodontic treatment zirconia straight wire appliances comb...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Supernumerary tooth (ST) is considered as a developmental tooth abnormality in number that most often occurs in the anterior region of the maxilla. They may erupt or remain impacted in the alveolar bone. The impacted teeth can cause eruptional disturbances for the adjacent developing teeth. CASE REPORT: A case of bilateral supplemental maxillary lateral incisors in a nonsynd...

BACKGROUND The optimal long-term management of the congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor continues to cause controversy within the specialty. The Angle Society of Europe meeting 2012 dedicated a day to address some of the current controversies relating to the management of these missing lateral incisors. FINDINGS The format of the day consisted of morning presentations and afternoon ...

UNLABELLED Dentists often encounter patients with missing or malformed teeth. The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most common congenitally absent tooth. There are three treatment options that exist for replacing missing lateral incisors. They include canine substitution, a tooth-supported restoration, or a single-tooth implant. Selecting the appropriate option depends on the malocclusio...

AIM To assess the morphology of supernumerary lateral incisors and describe the concomitant malocclusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS Intraoral examination and analysis of panoramic views as well as study casts has been proceeded in 18 patients with supernumerary laterals. The widths of the normal and supernumerary laterals were measured. RESULTS 20 supernumerary incisors were found (in 2 patients...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine buccal bone and soft tissue thicknesses and their correlation in the maxillary anterior region using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross sectional study, 330 sound maxillary incisors in 60 patients with a mean age of 37.5 years were assessed by CBCT scans. For better visualization of soft tissue, patie...
