A clinical report is presented of Fusion of maxillary primary central incisors associated with a dental disturbance in the corresponding area of the permanent dentition in a child with other nondentdl malformations. Fusion is the union of two normally separated tooth germs. It may be complete with the formation of one abnormally large tooth, or incomplete with the union of crowns or union of ro...

The talon cusp is a relatively rare dental developmental anomaly characterized by cusp-like projections, usually observed on the lingual surface of the affected tooth. Normal enamel covers the cusp and fuses with the lingual aspect of the tooth. The cusp may or may not contain an extension of the pulp. The condition can occur in both the primary and permanent dentitions. However, the occurrence...

Abstract: Agenesis is commonly found in maxillary lateral incisors with a relative high preva-lence. We reported case of agenesis the upper incisor associated dental caries. A 20-year-old man came to Unjani Dental Hospital complaint cavities left incisor. His only was lack confidence due caries; no pain. At first visit, anamnesis and clinical examination were performed on him. Oral hygiene good...

The primary aim of this study is to determine maximum bite force in molar and incisor regions of healthy individuals, to evaluate the bite force after open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures using micro plates, for a period of up to 6 weeks and to determine the rate of recovery of maximum bite force in an Indian population.

In 1976 Rappaport et al. introduced the term Monosuperocentroincisivodontic dwarfism to describe patients who exhibit a solitary maxillary central incisor in both dentitions in conjunction with growth retardation.1 The frequency of congenitally missing maxillary primary central incisors has not been reported, but the frequency of congenitally missing maxillary permanent central incisors is rare...

This article describes esthetic improvement in a patient with a missing maxillary left central incisor. Space analysis of the anterior dentition showed that minor tooth rearrangement was needed. Optimal space distribution for restorations was attained by orthodontic treatment. Through transforming tooth shape with porcelain laminate veneers, the maxillary left lateral incisor was transformed in...

trauma to primary teeth can lead to devastating sequels in development of permanent successors. the disturbance may range from enamel hypoplasia and/or hypo-calcification to arrest of dental bud development. crown dilaceration of permanent teeth is one of the consequences of trauma to deciduous teeth mainly due to intrusion or avulsion. this report presents a mandibular central incisor with dil...

Talon cusps are relatively rare dental anomalies that manifest as accessory cusplike structures and project from the cingulum area of the anterior teeth. The condition can occur in both the primary and permanent dentitions. However, the occurrences of anomalous cusps are rather infrequent in the primary dentition. Little has been written about the treatment of talon cusps in the primary dentiti...

Background: A common problem that requires orthodontic intervention is maxillary lateral incisor agenesis. A common treatment for this problem is to open space for a maxillary lateral incisor implant. However, that treatment is expensive. Often, parents with this problem wonder if their children will also have this anomaly. Objective: To determine the relative risk of a parent with maxillary la...
