BACKGROUND Agenesis of permanent canines is an uncommon condition that affects human teeth. In fact, canine is the most variable positioned tooth, it can be found palatally or facially displaced or ectopically erupted from the dental arch. On the contrary, canine agenesis is a rare finding in Caucasian populations, but it may be relatively more common in Asian groups. This dental anomaly is fir...

The purpose of this study was to develop a new finite element method for simulating long-term tooth movements and to compare the movement process occurring in canine retraction using a T-loop spring having large bends and with that having small bends. Orthodontic tooth movement was assumed to occur in the same manner as the initial tooth movement, which was controlled by the moment-to-force (M/...

AIM The purpose of this paper was to describe the dental and surgical management of the impaction of deciduous maxillary anterior teeth due to compound odontoma. In all analysed patients impaction of the maxillary deciduous canine was associated with the presence of an odontoma. Therefore, impaction of the maxillary deciduous canine can be considered as pathognomonic of the presence of an in...

BACKGROUND Implants have been widely used to restore missing teeth. Limited information on applied anatomy at the anterior maxilla compromises the clinical outcome for implant placement in this region. In the current study, Cone Beam Computerized Tomography (CBCT) was used to measure alveolar ridge and buccal undercut dimension at the anterior maxilla to help develop treatment planning for imme...

During the last few years a significant increase in the number of dogs with traumatic dental problems has been observed, particularly those with fractured canine teeth. In the period 1994-1998, 12 dogs of different breeds (German Shepherd, Dobermann, Pit Bull and Bull Terrier) were referred with complete fractures of a total of 34 canine teeth. After endodontic treatment, preparation of teeth a...

A 38-year-old male presented with a slowly growing mass of the right mandible. The lesion displaced the mandibular canine and premolar teeth on the same side.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacted supernumerary teeth which were initially detected on panoramic radiographs by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, supernumerary teeth diagnosed on panoramic radiographs taken from patients who had admitted for routine dental treatment were evaluated using CBCT. Patients...

The trade-off between tooth strength and tooth penetration: Predicting optimal shape of canine teeth" (2007). Mammalogy Papers: University of Nebraska State Museum. Paper 33.

Impaction of canine teeth is a clinical problem whose treatment usually requires an interdisciplinary approach. After the maxillary third molar, the maxillary canine is the second-most commonly impacted tooth, with an incidence of 1% 2.5%. Maxillary canines are more common in females than males. This study reviews the surgical treatments and orthodontic considerations for impacted canines expos...
