The aim of the study was to assess the position of 3rd molar as a predisposing factor in the fracture of the mandible at the angle. Out of 43 mandibular fractures at the angle, during a study from 2010-12 at Era's lucknow medical college and hospital, 38 (88.3%) cases had 3rd molar present while in 5(11%) cases it was absent. Amongst the 43 patients with angle fractures reported, out of 38 pati...

Although there are numerous publications on bilateral non-compliance molar distalization appliances, there is limited information on problems such as asymmetrical unilateral Class II malocclusions. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the distalization of molars unilaterally in patients with a unilateral Class II molar relationship utilizing a Keles Slider, designed without a bit...

background: the aim of the present study is to determine the number of third molars per person, angulation, level, amount of space for eruption of third molar between ramus of mandible and second molar and the eruption status of third molar in a group of libyan students, with different impaction patterns and agenesis of third molars. materials and methods: in this descriptive retrospective stud...

Dentigerous cyst is a common pathologic entity associated with an impacted tooth. The standard treatment for this lesion is enucleation and extraction of the involved tooth. Marsupialization of dentigerous cyst has also been advocated, once in many cases it can maintain the impacted tooth in its cavity and promotes its eruption. This report describes a case of a 13-year-old girl with a large de...

PURPOSE We sought to determine the incidence of caries experience on the occlusal surface of asymptomatic third molars erupted to the occlusal plane and to examine the association between the prevalence of caries experience in third molars and other molars. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical data were collected from healthy patients (ASA Class I, II) with asymptomatic third molars enrolled at 2 cl...

This contribution contains 3D models of upper molar rows house mice (Mus musculus domesticus). The erupted parts the right row and first are presented for specimens belonging to four groups: wild-trapped mice, wild-derived lab offspring, a typical laboratory strain (Swiss) hybrids between Swiss mice. These analyzed in following publication: Savriama et al 2021: Wild versus mice: Effects age, di...

OBJECTIVE To report an unusual case of oral hyaline ring granuloma (HRG) that caused an extensive osteolytic lesion. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 22-year-old female was referred to our hospital with a large expansile cystic lesion in the left mandibular ramus associated with a clinically visible, partially erupted third molar. A diagnosis of paradental cyst was made. After marsupi...

A seven years old boy visited our clinic with a periodontal problem related to an erupting lower molar. The tooth showed a 15 mm deep periodontal pocket on the buccal aspect. A microbiologic DNA-test excluded a periodontal origin. The treatment consisted in a local antimicrobial therapy with cleaning and filling up of the pocket with Atridox. Two years after therapy the pocket completely disapp...

Lower second premolars account for approximately 24 per cent of impactions, excluding third molars, even though most reports in the literature relating to impacted teeth address the maxillary canine, with relatively few reports on the lower second premolar. Conservative management involves surgical exposure of the crown, however, subsequent premolar eruption is unpredictable. A case is describe...
