AIM The primary aim of the present study was to validate the effectiveness of a personalized device able to guide periodontal probing in evaluation of second molar periodontal healing after adjacent third molar surgical extraction. Secondarily, the study analyzed if any patient and tooth related factors affected the second molar periodontal healing as well as if they were able to affect the per...

Distal displacement of the tooth germ mandibular second premolar (MnP2) leads to its impaction and obturation eruption path first molar delaying eruption. The present case report describes treatment 2 cases guidance for distally displaced developing MnP2 that caused delayed molar. Intentional extraction primary predecessor results in mesial shift MnP2. However, unfavorable distal ectopic after ...

Autogenous tooth transplantation (ATT) can be considered when there is a hopeless molar tooth and suitable donor present. This report presents an unconventional case of successful ATT of a third molar replacing the adjacent fractured second molar in a 33 year old woman. This wisdom tooth had completely developed roots. Root-end filling with Calcium Enriched Mixture (CEM) cement was performed in...

Human dental development is characterized by formation of primary teeth, which are subsequently replaced by the secondary dentition. The secondary dentition consists of incisors, canines, and premolars, which are derived from the successional dental lamina of the corresponding primary tooth germs; and molar teeth, which develop as a continuation of the dental lamina. Currently, very little is k...

Odontoma is the most common type of benign odontogenic tumor, and often causes disturbances in the eruption of its associated tooth. Odontomas usually occur in the permanent dentition, and rarely occur solely in the primary dentition. This case report documents a six-year-old-child with a compound odontoma located in the mandible, which caused the impaction of the primary second molar.

a 7.5 year-old girl was seeking orthodontic treatment because of severe ectopic eruption of maxillary first permanent molars. it was a rare case that represented approximately horizontal view in panoramic radiograph. the severity of problem was high, but since the patient had maxillary deficiency, it was important to perform the treatment without extraction. treatment began with extraction of u...

radiographic evaluation of the third molar tooth to determine its position and degree of development is an important part in diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as in forensic dentistry procedures. the objective was to investigate the developmental stages of third molars in relation to chronologic age, gender and location (maxillary/mandibular) in an iranian population.the data were colle...

wisdom tooth operations are sometimes accompanied by complications. this case report shows complications during upper jaw third molar removal. expectable problems during oral surgery should be planned to be solved in advance. displacement of the third molar during oral surgeries as a considerable complication is rarely discussed scientifically. a good design of flap, adequate power for extracti...

Autogenous transplantation is a feasible, fast, and economical option for the treatment of nonsalvageable teeth when a suitable donor tooth is available. This paper presents successful autotransplantation of a mature mandibular left third molar (38) without anatomical variances is used to replace a mandibular left second molar (37). The mandibular second molar was nonrestorable due to extensive...

Autogenous transplantation is an economical as well as the most sorted option for the treatment of badly destroyed teeth when a suitable donor tooth is available. This paper presents successful auto transplantation of a mature mandibular right third molar (48) without anatomical variance is used to replace a grossly decayed mandibular right first molar (46). The mandibular first molar was nonre...
