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...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed highlight some clinical features present in patients whose maxillary lateral incisors are missing, and proposed more logical, rational and predictable solutions to inform decision making in rehabilitation procedures. METHODS Literature review and discussion. CONCLUSION Choosing the best possible treatment for congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors...

and Research, Delhi-Meerut Road, Murad Nagar, Ghaziabad-201206 Tel No. 01232-225380,81,82 Abstract Objective : Evaluate the anterior-posterior relationship of maxillary central incisors to the forehead in young adults. Materials and Method: The sample consisted of 146 lateral profile photographs of young adults with good facial harmony (control group) and 135 lateral profile photographs of youn...

Mandibular second premolars and maxillary central incisors usually have one root, one canal, and one apical foramen. However, some studies have revealed anatomic variations in these teeth. The aim of the present study was to investigate such variations in canal configuration, foramina, lateral and accessory canals and apical deltas in the root apex of human maxillary central incisors and mandib...

Orthodontic management for patients with single or bilateral congenitally missing permanent lateral incisors is a challenge to effective treatment planning. Over the last several decades, dentistry has focused on several treatment modalities for replacement of missing teeth. The two major alternative treatment options are orthodontic space closure or space opening for prosthetic replacements. F...

Results: Maxillary central and lateral incisors and canines typically presented with a single canal of type I canal configuration. In mandibular teeth, most of the central incisors showed type I (57.4%) canal configuration. Type III was found in 37.0% of the cases. The incidence of type III canal configuration in mandibular lateral incisors was 55.9%. The remainder was distributed mainly betwee...

Fadia M. Al-Hummayani, BDS, MS * Abstract This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of congenital absence (agenesis) and malformation of maxillary lateral incisors in Saudi Arabian female students. A group of one thousand five hundred (1500) Saudi female school students, with an age range (11-19 years) were randomly selected from governmental and private schools in different distri...

Knowledge about internal anatomy plays a crucial role in the success of the root canal treatment. Many studies on internal anatomy have repeatedly reported that maxillary lateral incisors have only one canal. The primary aim of this article was to describe successful non-surgical retreatment of a permanent maxillary lateral incisor with two root canals and open apices. The treatment was carried...
