A total of 263 ankyloscd primary molars in 107 children aged three to 12 years was studied for four years. Forty-six children remained in the study for eight years. Observation of affected dentitions showed that the condition was likely to recur. Three clinical pa~terns for the condition are described. Typically, maxillary molars became ankylosed earlier and demonstrated more severe in[raocclus...

To achieve proper recontouring of anterior and posterior teeth, to obtain optimal morphology during enamel stripping, it is important to be aware of dental anatomy. This study aimed at evaluating crown dimensions and proximal enamel thickness in a sample of 40 extracted sound, human, mandibular, second bicuspids (20 right and 20 left). Mesiodistal, cervico-occlusal and buccolingual crown dimens...

BACKGROUND The aim of this retrospective study was to measure tooth and crowns axes of canines, first and second bicuspids of orthodontically untreated subjects with near normal occlusion to: 1. Define norms and reveal potential gender differences and 2. Discuss implications of the findings for orthodontics. METHODS The CBCT-datasets of 167 patients, 56 males (mean age 28.63 years ± 11.99 yea...

Dentigerous cyst is a benign odontogenic cyst associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. It is usually single in occurrence and located in the mandible of middle-aged persons. The teeth commonly affected are in order of frequency, the mandibular third molars, maxillary canines, maxillary third molars and, rarely central incisors. The present case report describes the surgical enucleation of...
