Fusion is a rare occurrence in molar teeth. The purpose of this rare case presentation is to describe the nonsurgical endodontic treatment of maxillary molar. A 28-year-old patient was referred for endodontic treatment of her chronic apical abscess of right maxillary second molar. In the clinical examination, a sinus tract adjacent to involved tooth and a small crown of supernumerary tooth fuse...

ackground and aim: it is important to evaluate the effect of the type of filling material on deformation and strength of tooth after filling and also the effect of filling depth on quality of restoration of a decayed tooth. material and methods: the orthopantomogram (opg) of the first and second molars of a 28-year-old man was made and the teeth were 3d modeled. the stress-deformation analysis ...

introdouction: impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. the aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to assess s...

Mammalian dentition consists of teeth that develop as discrete organs. From anterior to posterior, the dentition is divided into regions of incisor, canine, premolar and molar tooth types. Particularly teeth in the molar region are very diverse in shape. The development of individual teeth involves epithelial-mesenchymal interactions that are mediated by signals shared with other organs. Parts ...

This article reports on the use of a natural tooth crown to repair substantial defects caused by caries. A 50 y old woman wished to have a mandibular left-side third molar extracted. Concurrently, the patient voiced concerns about the metal collar of a premolar. It was decided to extract the third molar and to use this tooth to perform an autologous tooth crown transplant at the upper second pr...

Odontomas, benign tumors that develop in the jaw, rarely erupt into the oral cavity. We report an erupted odontoma which delayed eruption of the first molar. The patient was a 10-year-old Japanese girl who came to our hospital due to delayed eruption of the right maxillary first molar. All the deciduous teeth had been shed. The second premolar on the right side had erupted, but not the first mo...

Congenital morphological dental alterations are related to the physiological phase of tooth development. Since the etiology of the dens invaginatus and supernumerary roots has yet to be fully determined, a rare presentation of dens invaginatus in a primary molar and a birooted deciduous maxillary canine were incidentally detected in routine radiographic examinations. Essential clinical consider...

A radicular cyst is one of the furthermost everyday odontogenic cysts of the anterior maxilla, not regularly comprehended in youth. They are found mostly at the apices of the tooth (periapical cyst), lateral surface of the roots (lateral radicular cyst) and remains in the jaw after removal of the offending tooth (residual cyst). The radicular cyst has been catalogued as an inflammatory cyst, as...
