The orthodontic management of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors has three common treatment approaches: space closure by means of canine substitution, the placement of an endosseous dental implant, and a tooth supported restoration. Replacement of the missing teeth with an endosseous dental implant is a viable option, especially when adjacent teeth are healthy and unrestored ( Koki...

The study analyses the location of impacted maxillary canines and factors influencing root resorptions of adjacent teeth using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). In addition, the interrater reliability between observers of two different dental specialties for radiographic parameters will be evaluated. CBCT images of patients who were referred for radiographic localization of impacted maxilla...

The observance of pink teeth during the postmortem period in humans is known as phenomenon. In contrast, discoloration rarely reported veterinary medicine. We examined nine dogs and a cat postmortem, all which had varying degrees teeth. Pink occurred types (incisors, canine, premolar, molar). roots several were discolored, ranging from to red, over 2–3 week one dog’s lower incisors’ color chang...

PURPOSE We assessed the repeatability and reproducibility of abutment teeth dental impressions, digitized with a blue light scanner, by comparing the discrepancies in repeatability and reproducibility values for different types of abutment teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS To evaluate repeatability, impressions of the canine, first premolar, and first molar, prepared for ceramic crowns, were repea...

Congenitally missing teeth (CMT) are among one of the commonly known dental anomalies. The most frequently missing teeth in the permanent dentition, excluding the third molars, are mandibular second premolars and maxillary lateral incisors. Exclusive agenesis of both maxillary canines is an extremely rare occurrence and only a few cases have been reported. Previous studies showed that the preva...

Tooth transposition is a severe disturbance of tooth order and eruptive position, involving certain teeth that may occur at any of the several sites in the mouth. Maxillary canine-first premolar (MxCP1) transposition is the most frequent tooth transposition. This case report presents the treatment of female patient with bilateral maxillary canine-premolar transposition. The order of transpositi...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to evaluate the rate of canine distalization by segmental alveolar distraction method in first premolar extraction cases, to evaluate the displacement of the canine and first molar teeth, to assess the effects of the procedure on the pulpal vitality of the canines, and to determine the amount of root resorption in retracted canines. MATERIALS & MET...

This article describes a procedure for a one-step root canal treatment and the subsequent restoration of fractured canine teeth in cats. Standard glass fibre posts were used in the reconstruction of the teeth which were then divided into two groups and restored anatomically using two different composite materials. The procedures were successfully performed on six cats. The subject teeth were fo...

This article describes a one-step root canal treatment and restoration of canine teeth in ferrets. Standard brass posts were used for the reconstruction of the teeth. The procedures were performed by dentists according to all rules and procedures used in root canal treatment in humans. The teeth were immediately restored anatomically. The procedures were successfully performed in four ferrets a...

Objective: The purpose was to obtain information about the relation between agenesis and shape anomaly of maxillary lateral incisors and canine impaction. Methods: Seventy-three patients with canine impaction and 73 control patients, without canine impaction, were evaluated. The mesiodistal distances of the maxillary lateral incisors adjacent to the impacted canines and the correspondent mandib...
