1/73. Premature dental eruption: report of case.This case report reviews the variability of dental eruption and the possible sequelae. Dental eruption of the permanent teeth in cleft palate children may be variable, with delayed eruption the most common phenomenon. A case of premature dental eruption of a maxillary left first premolar is demonstrated, however, in a five-year-old male. This localized premature dental eruption anomaly was attributed to early extraction of the primary dentition, due to caries.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/73. Second premolar serial extraction.serial extraction of mandibular second premolars should be considered if they are impacted or in cases with moderate arch length deficiency combined with an absence of dentofacial protrusion. The favorable dental changes associated with this approach greatly minimize future orthodontic treatment complexity and time.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/73. Transposition of mesial and distal aspects of maxillary first molars: case report.Congenital absence of one or more teeth, hypodontia, is the most common developmental anomaly and is often accompanied by the presence of other tooth anomalies. In this case two Japanese sisters have several congenitally missing primary and permanent teeth and morphological abnormalities of maxillary first molars. One sister has transposition of mesial and distal aspects of a maxillary first molar, whose cusps display a normal shape. Another sister has maxillary first molars, which look like maxillary second molars. Mesio-distally shift of teeth is a very rare anomaly making this particular case important to analyze the teeth formation and development.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 8keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/73. Ectopic eruption of maxillary canine and premolars: case report.This article presents a case of ectopic eruption of permanent teeth in the maxilla in the late mixed dentition. The authors advocate early diagnosis of ectopic eruption with a closer follow-up during the transition from primary to permanent dentition and space maintenance, as a way to avoid active orthodontic treatment for alignment ectopic erupted teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/73. Familial cases of missing mandibular incisor: three case presentations.Hypodontia is the congenital absence of one or more teeth because of agenesis. The most commonly missing teeth are the third molars, the maxillary lateral incisors and the second premolars. Cases are presented of three patients with a missing mandibular incisor.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/73. Orthodontic treatment for an adolescent with a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia.This case report describes the treatment of a Class I malocclusion that involved ectopic position of the maxillary permanent left canine and the mandibular permanent right second molar. The patient was an adolescent who presented with a medical history that was remarkable for diagnosis and treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Dental history was remarkable for significant, generalized shortened roots that were more severe in the mandibular arch. The treatment included fixed appliance therapy in the maxillary arch only and surgical luxation of the mandibular second molar. Successful integration of the maxillary permanent left canine was accomplished without excessive flaring of the maxillary permanent incisors or disruption of the buccal segment occlusion. The risk of external root resorption on teeth with abnormal root morphology, as a result of fixed appliance therapy, should be weighed against the relative benefits that are expected from treatment.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/73. Garre's osteomyelitis of an unusual origin in a 8-year-old child. A case report.Garre's osteomyelitis is a type of chronic osteomyelitis that primarily affects children and adolescents. Although the disease is well described in the dental literature and is usually associated with an odontogenic infection resulting from caries, a number of other causative factors have been occasionally reported, such as a dental extraction or a mild periodontitis. There have also been cases of unknown aetiology. This paper describes a case of Garre's osteomyelitis in an 8-year-old child, in whom the condition arose following a local periodontal infection in an ectopically erupting first permanent molar that was in infraocclusion. The lesion remained unresolved for a period of over 6 months as a result of misdiagnosis, following a number of unsuccessful treatment attempts. Identification of the true cause and treatment through periodontal surgery resulted in lesion resolution and resolved the diagnostic problem. dentists should be aware that the periodontium may be a potential source of infection for Garre's osteomyelitis in children, particularly in the presence of ectopically erupting posterior teeth. In such cases, periodontal treatment should be sufficient to treat the disease and extraction of the tooth involved may not be necessary.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/73. Orthodontic correction of an ectopic mandibular first permanent molar: a case report.Ectopic eruption of mandibular first molar is a rare clinical problem. It is one result of an improper balance in the forces of growth and eruption. A case of ectopic eruption of the mandibular first permanent molar is described and the technique for repositioning it is showed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/73. Ectopic eruption of maxillary molar tooth--an unusual cause of recurrent sinusitis.A 17-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of cough associated with right-sided purulent rhinorrhoea and right facial pain. Nasal endoscopy confirmed the presence of mucopus from the right middle meatus. Plain sinus X-ray assessment showed the presence of an ectopic molar in the right anterosuperior aspect of the maxillary sinus entrapped in soft tissue. Surgical removal of the tooth and the diseased antral tissue was undertaken via a Caldwell-Luc procedure with resolution of symptoms.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/73. Endoscopic removal of an ectopic third molar obstructing the osteomeatal complex.We report a rare case of an ectopic third molar at the level of the osteomeatal complex. A 21-year-old man came to us with a left-sided nasal obstruction of 2 years' duration. Computed tomography of the paranasal sinuses revealed that an aberrant tooth was obstructing the osteomeatal complex and bulging into the ethmoid infundibulum. Opacity of the entire left maxillary sinus indicated the presence of an associated cystic formation. A transnasal endoscopic sinus technique was employed to create a large middle meatal antrostomy and to remove the tooth as well as the cystic contents and cyst wall. Pathologic analysis revealed that the cyst was dentigerous. After recovery from surgery, the patient resumed nasal breathing. The endoscopic surgical approach used in this case caused less morbidity than do the more common methods (e.g., the Caldwell-Luc procedure) of removing ectopic teeth from the sinus.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 5keywords = molar (Clic here for more details about this article) |
