the presence of supernumerary teeth is not uncommon in the general population. they occur more frequently in patients with a family history of such teeth but it is rare to find multiple supernumeraries in individuals with no other associated disease or syndrome. there have been very few documented cases of bilateral maxillary and mandibular supernumeraries, distal to the third molars. supernume...

background and aims. the superiority of rotary systems has been reported in several clinical studies on permanent teeth. this study consisted of radiographic assessment and chair time of rotary instruments in the pulpectomy of primary second molar teeth. materials and methods. in this randomized controlled clinical study, 46 children, 3-6 years of age, were selected. the patients were divided r...

Acute inflammation is frequently seen in the elderly around incompletely impacted molars located apart from molars or premolars. To identify the factors causing acute inflammation in the solitary molars without second molars or without second and first molars, ages of patients and rates of acute inflammation in 75 horizontal incompletely impacted mandibular molars in contact or not in contact w...

An examination of 1732 conventionally treated maxillary molars was made in an attempt to determine the percentage of MB2 canals that could be located routinely. The teeth examined were 1096 first molars, 611 second molars, and 25 third molars. The results were recorded on a modified computer program over an 8-yr period of time. An interesting trend was noted. The MB2 canal was found in 802 (73....

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of missing and impacted third molars in people aged 25 years and above. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study sample of 3,799 patients was chosen randomly from patients who visited Pusan National University Dental Hospital and had panoramic radiographs taken. The data collected included presence and impaction state, angulation, and d...

conclusions most extracted maxillary first molars were three rooted and four canals. cbct has relatively high reproducibility and accuracy of distinguishing mb2 canal. results we found 100% of cases with three separated roots, from which 69.23% had four canals including mb2 and 30.77% with three canals. 71.3% of mesiobuccal roots were two canals of type two vertucci and 28.7% type 4 with the me...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare long-term outcomes of ferric sulfate pulpotomy (FS) and primary tooth root canal therapy (RCT) in vital pulps of deciduous molars exposed to caries lesions. METHODS A total of 291 molars were treated in 130 children. One hundred and eighty-two molars received FS and 109 received RCT by random selection. RESULTS At 3-year re-assessment, 29 mol...

AIM To evaluate the root canal configuration of permanent mandibular first and second molar teeth in a Chinese subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODOLOGY Patients who required CBCT radiographic examinations as part of their routine examination, diagnosis and treatment planning, were enrolled. Cases where the anatomy was compromised by physiological or pathological p...
