Congenital absence of a maxillary lateral incisor occurs in many patients, and the treatment of young adults with this problem is a challenge for both prosthodontists and orthodontists. Common treatment alternatives are distalization of the canine tooth or fabrication of a conventional 3-unit fixed partial denture (FPD), a single-tooth, implantsupported crown restoration or a resinbonded fixed ...

The aims of the study were to analyse the records of 26 subjects (18 females, eight males) with maxillary canine-first premolar transposition (Mx.C.P1) together with 160 subjects with a palatally displaced canine (PDC) to determine the pattern of tooth agenesis in these cases and to compare them with similar samples reported in the literature. A strong association between Mx.C.P1, lateral incis...

dens invagination is a developmental anomaly requiring specific treatment approaches. oehler's type iii dens in dente, extends into the root and perforates at the apical area or lateral surface of the root. in this case endodontic treatment of the invaginated tooth was carried out through the central lumen of the invagination with calcium hydroxide without manipulation of the main pulp canal, t...

Developmental anomalies of tooth are not uncommon to find in clinical practice these days. Thorough knowledge of these anomalies is a prerequisite for their correct diagnosis, understanding clinical complications and management. Maxillary lateral incisor is one which is frequently associated with such developmental malformations, commonly affected by microdontia, hypodontia, dens invaginatus an...

The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most frequently missing tooth in the dental arch. The aim of this study was to review literature data for maxillary lateral incisor agenesis, unilateral and bilateral, and associated dental anomalies in an orthodontic population. Research suggests that several clinical features are commonly seen, dental anomalies commonly associated with agenesis of ...

The purpose of this report is to present a rare case of a maxillary lateral incisor exhibiting two separate root canals confirmed by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). A 65-year-old female patient with an esthetic complaint regarding her maxillary left lateral incisor was referred to our clinic. During a radiographical examination, an endodontically treated root canal and an extra root canal...

In this case report, we present an unusual approach that was used to treat a 14-year-old patient with a bilateral canine-premolar transposition and a missing maxillary lateral incisor. The orthodontic treatment involved maintaining the transposition and creating a space for lateral incisor replacement. Toward the end of the treatment, accentuated buccal root torque was performed, and lateral gr...

ÖZET Congenitally missing teeth and conical lateral incisor teeth particularly seen on the anterior region in adolescence is an esthetically and functionally challenging situation for the clinician and the patient. As far as the ages of patients are concerned, the restoration should be applied with a minimally invasive approach. Glass fiber-reinforced composite resin applications, which have re...

Bilateral mandibular tooth transposition is a relatively rare dental anomaly caused by distal migration of the mandibular lateral incisors and can be detected in the early mixed dentition by radiographic examination. Early diagnosis and interceptive intervention may reduce the risk of possible transposition between the mandibular canine and lateral incisor. This report illustrates the orthodont...

The study investigates the prevalence of second incisor hypodontia and canine impaction in Croatia. The study of incisor hypodontia encompassed 568 examinees (229 boys, 339 girls) aged 6-22 (X = 11.2, SD = 2.8) while for canine impaction, a subsample of 170 examinees older than 13 years was formed (68 boys and 102 girls). The participants were non-selected ambulatory patients of the Dental Clin...
