Orthodontic management of mandibular lateral incisor-canine transpositions: reports of cases.

This article presents different treatment aspects in three mandibular lateral incisor-canine transposition cases. The early identification of transposed teeth simplifies orthodontic correction. Incomplete transposition cases can be managed successfully by interceptive orthodontic treatment. If complete transposition occurs, two treatment alternatives may be possible: Extraction of the transposed tooth or keep the teeth in their transposed positions.

Neonatal sublingual traumatic ulceration (Riga-Fede disease): a case report.

Early eruption of primary teeth rarely occurs and is referred to as "natal or neonatal teeth". These teeth may cause some complications, including ulceration of the sublingual area, pain during suckling and future nutritional problems. A two-month-old infant suffering from sublingual area ulceration due to two neonatal teeth was examined. His teeth were extracted and healing of the ulcerated area was observed within the first week.

Radiographic evaluation of third-molar development in a group of Turkish children.

The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the crypt formation and calcification of the maxillary and mandibular third molars according to age and gender on panoramic radiographs in a group of Turkish children. Four hundred panoramic radiographs of 188 female and 212 male dental patients, ages six to thirteen years, were examined by two observers. The interrater reliability was tested by Kappa statistics. The earliest age for maxillary third molar crypt formation was eight years; mandibular third molars could be seen radiographically as early as seven years.

Unusual impaction of inverted primary incisor: report of case.

A tooth that fails to erupt into a normal functional position by the time it normally should is considered impacted. Impactions of primary teeth are extremely rare, but when it does occur it usually involves the first and second molar. The purpose of this article is to present a case of a four-year-old patient with an impaction of an inverted primary mandibular incisor. On the basis of the patient's family history, the case might be considered as microform of ectodermal dysplasia.

Primary incisor triplication defect.

Conjoining abnormalities occur in less than 1 percent of the population. Triplication of primary teeth is even a rarer phenomenon with a prevalence of 0.02 percent. This study describes the clinical features and the light microscopic appearance of a case of triplicated primary teeth. The teeth with the conjoined defect were examined by light microscopy to evaluate the exact level and appearance of the fusion area. The light microscopic examination revealed grooves and cracks consisting of enamel and dentine in the fusion area, fusion was irregular and both dentin and cementum were confluent. It is concluded that the clinician should identify children were conjoined anomalies and should be aware of the oncoming problems.

Ectodermal dysplasia with associated double tooth.

The case describes a double molar tooth in a seven-year-old girl who has ectodermal dysplasia. The most characteristic dental findings in ectodermal dysplasia are hypodontia and conically shaped crowns. In our case a double tooth was also present in the primary molar region, in addition to these characteristic findings.
