Mechanical trauma or developmental disorders can cause an eruptive problem mostly called dilaceration. The prognosis of a dilacerated tooth depends on early diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. The case presented in this paper is an example of severe dilacerations of a maxillary central incisor which has been treated with early orthodontic intervention.

Management of a dual-rooted maxillary central incisor with a normal clinical crown is reported. The postoperative radiograph shows two distinct roots and canals.

We present a girl with del(18p) syndrome and a single maxillary central incisor; she is only the second patient in whom this association has been reported.

During osteogenesis, mesenchymal tissues function to form fibrous matrix which changes into bone by ossification. In rare instances, fibrous matrix persists in which foci of immature bone is evident resulting in progressive enlargement. Such conditions are commonly benign in nature but few are anatomically benign and clinically destructive. Though recurrence and residual defects following surgi...

Luxational injuries to the permanent anterior teeth in children are a cause of concern. Palatal luxation of maxillary left central incisor with bleeding of gingival sulcus and fracture of maxillary right central incisor involving enamel and dentine in a 9-year- old girl is presented. The dental occlusion was deranged due to the luxation. Management consisted of repositioning of the luxated toot...

Dilaceration is a comparatively uncommon dental deformity generally characterized by an angulation between crown and root, and consequently causing non-eruption of the tooth. Dilaceration generally occurs following trauma to the apices of deciduous dentition, which lies close to the permanent tooth buds. As a result, surgical extraction used to be the first choice when making the treatment plan...

AIM To provide clinicians with useful information for immediate diagnosis and management of impacted maxillary incisors due to trauma. METHODS We present a case of post-traumatic impaction of a central right maxillary incisor in a young patient. The treatment plan consisted in the interceptive management (surgical and orthodontic), the valuation of the necessary space to move the impacted too...

The authors’ intention was to present ceramic restoration repair as a reliable, low-cost and low-risk procedure, by demonstrating 3 cases in the aesthetic zone. Intraoral ceramic repair was chosen for the small porcelain fracture of the maxillary left central incisor and for the large porcelain surface detachment of the maxillary left lateral incisor, since patients did not want to replace the ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose is to compare temperature rise in the pulp chamber during fabrication of provisional crowns using different materials and on different types of teeth using direct technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS An extracted, sound, caries free maxillary central incisor and a mandibular molar were selected for the study and crown preparations of all ceramic and all metal were done on ce...

this is a case of delayed replantation of avulsed maxillary central incisor after an extended dry extra-alveolar period. a 10-year-old boy presented with avulsed maxillary central incisor after a fall that resulted in dental trauma, occurring 18 hours earlier. treatment guidelines for avulsed mature permanent teeth with prolonged extraoral time were carried out for the teeth and the extraoral e...
