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...

an accurate diagnosis of the morphology of the root canal system is a pre-requisite for successful root canal treatment. frequently, root canals are left untreated because the clinicians fail to identify their presence, particularly in teeth that have anatomical variations or additional root canals. in this report a maxillary lateral incisor with two roots has been described.

BACKGROUND The paradigm shift from occlusion to esthetics places more emphasis on the subtle relationships among the teeth and the interplay with the soft tissues. The authors of this study quantified the ideal and maximum acceptable deviations for smile characteristics. METHODS The authors created a survey by using a digital image editing software package, which enabled raters to manipulate ...

Maxillary lateral incisors usually exhibit a single root with a single canal. However, maxillary lateral incisor teeth with unusual morphology of root canal system are frequently reported. These cases of variable root canal anatomy can be treated well by nonsurgical endodontic methods. A detailed description of root canal morphology is fundamental for successful endodontic treatment. Treatment ...

Maxillary lateral incisors are widely known to be single rooted with one root canal. Although rare cases with root canal variations are being reported in many populations, the reports regarding Iranian population is extremely limited. In this report, we are presenting the endodontic treatment of a double rooted maxillary lateral incisor. These rare root-canal variations should be considered in ...

A tooth displaced down into alveolar bone is an intrusive luxation. This injury usually is accompanied by comminution of alveolar fracture. The dislocation is frequently axial and radiographic examination reveals absence of periodontal space. The primary site for luxation injuries is the maxillary anterior region in the primary and permanent dentition with frequency higher in the primary dentit...

The present case report describes the interdisciplinary management of a patient with increased overbite and overjet, Angle’s Class Ⅰ malocclusion, bilateral agenesis mandibular central incisors microdontia upper lateral incisors. 18-year-old female had convex profile, maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion mild spacing in anterior region. Therefore, treatment consisted fixed appliance therapy, foll...

Abstract This case report describes successful long-term conservative management of a cervical root fracture and a complicated crown fracture of the maxillary central incisors in a 12-year-old patient. A mineral trioxide aggregate partial pulpotomy was performed on the maxillary right central incisor, while the maxillary left central incisor was splinted to the neighbouring lateral incisor usin...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to examine the patient- and treatment-related etiologic factors of external root resorption. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study consisted of 163 patients who had completed orthodontic treatments and taken the pre- and post-treatment panoramic and lateral cephalometric radiographs. The length of tooth was measured from the tooth apex to the incisal edge or c...
