OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic value of 2 intraoral bisecting angle radiographic views in comparison with periodontal probing for the assessment of periodontal attachment of the canine teeth in dogs. STUDY POPULATION 466 canine teeth from 117 dogs. PROCEDURE Periodontal probing measurements were recorded, and clinical attachment levels (CAL) were calculated at the mesial, buccal, dis...

Impaction and eruption disturbance of permanent teeth are frequently encountered in orthodontic practice. The canine play an important role both functionally esthetically. Eruption a maxillary canine, if left untreated, can cause not only disturbed jaw movement esthetic problems, but also root resorption adjacent teeth, thus should be diagnosed treated appropriately. In this report, we present ...

As we age, physiological or pathological tooth wear can alter our occlusion from canine-guided (or ‘canine-protected’) lateral excursion, to group function. Group function itself is not problematic, but the burden of excursion be damaging compromised teeth. It may desirable restore patient protect heavily restored A minimally invasive option canine ramp.

Background and Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of transmigrated maxillary and mandibular canine teeth and also of the other impacted teeth, apart from third molars, in a Turkish dental patients subpopulation.
