1/17. Treatment of an impacted dilacerated maxillary central incisor.Impacted incisor With Dilaceration refers to a dental deformity characterized by an angulation between crown and root causing noneruption of the incisor. Surgical extraction used to be the first choice in treating the severely dilacerated incisor. In this article, a horizontally impacted and dilacerated maxillary central incisor was diagnosed radiographically. By combining two stages of the crown exposure surgery with light force orthodontic traction, the impacted dilacerated incisor was successfully moved into proper position. However, long-term monitoring of the stability and periodontal health is critical after orthodontic traction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/17. The use of tricalcium phosphate to preserve alveolar bone in a patient with ectodermal dysplasia: a case report.The prosthodontic management of the child with ectodermal dysplasia is made difficult because of the under-development of the alveolar ridges. This paper describes a case where tricalcium phosphate was placed in sockets immediately following the extraction of the primary incisor teeth to help maintain alveolar bone width, offering a valuable alternative treatment option in the prosthodontic management of the child patient with ectodermal dysplasia.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/17. 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 = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/17. An orthodontic case of transposition of the upper right canine and first premolar.Tooth transposition is a rare and severe positional anomaly that may create many orthodontic problems from both esthetic and functional points of view. In this report, we describe a case of the orthodontic management of a transposition of the upper canine and premolar with congenital absence of the upper lateral incisor. The patient was treated with a multibracket appliance and the extraction of three premolars, and treatment was completed without a need for any prosthetic replacement.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/17. Maxillary impacted canine with congenitally absent premolars.Multiple treatment options are available to patients who have impacted canines in addition to congenitally absent premolars. Management options for impacted maxillary canines can include (1) continued observation, (2) extraction of the primary canine to aid spontaneous eruption, (3) uncovering and bonding of the impacted tooth and its eruption using orthodontic traction, (4) autotransplantation, and (5) extraction followed by prosthetic replacement. The options for the treatment of missing premolars can include the following: (1) maintaining the primary molars, (2) spontaneous space closure after early extraction of the primary molar, (3) autotransplantation, (4) prosthetic replacement, and (5) orthodontic space closure. In this case report, treatment of a patient with an impacted maxillary canine and agenesis of three second premolars will be presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 3keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/17. Bilaterally impacted maxillary canines and multiple missing teeth: a challenging adult case.AUTHORS: Mesotten K, Naert I, van Steenberghe D, Willems G. OBJECTIVES: Orthodontic correction of bilateral maxillary canine impaction with agenesis of the lower second premolars and extraction of the lower first molars in an adult patient. methods: After surgical exposure, the canines were relocated in the arch by means of immediate orthodontic traction. Endosseous Branemark system implants were inserted in the lower jaw with a double purpose: stabilization of orthodontic anchorage and prosthetic tooth replacement. RESULTS: Closure of the edentulous space in the lower arch was accomplished by a multidisciplinary approach while orthodontic correction of the initial malocclusion was achieved. CONCLUSION: Implants provided anchorage control for tooth movement and created the possibility of prosthetic rehabilitation through a multidisciplinary treatment approach.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/17. Managing morphologically atypical impacted teeth orthodontically.Impactions with severely dilacerated root is seldom reported, especially the maxillary incisor. It is probably because of the high clinical difficulty of bringing the dilacerated tooth into position: most patients probably would choose extraction with replacement by prosthesis instead. However, the philosophy seems to have changed recently. We report two cases one in which an impacted central incisor was brought in the arch by orthodontic traction. In the second case the impacted premolar was brought into the arch and was shaped as a mandibular canine for achieving a good functional occlusion.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/17. The effects of periradicular inflamation and infection on a primary tooth and permanent successor.Primary teeth and the permanent successors must be understood as interdependent units, where each one of them interacts with and depends on each other. Pulpal inflammation/infection of a primary tooth and the spread of this condition over the periradicular tissues can lead to alterations in the dental germ of the permanent successor and to the surrounding structures if no therapy is done, i.e. endodontics or extraction. This work will present cases of permanent teeth that showed alteration in eruption and / or in development, as a consequence of inflammation / infection of the preceding primary teeth, such as: hypoplasia, morphological alteration on the dental crown or total arrest of. radicular formation. The teeth analysed in this study belong to patients who attended the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Children's dentistry Clinic. The earlier these lesions are diagnosed, the less were the destructive effects and the consequences on the primary tooth/permanent germ unit.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |

10/17. Indications for autotransplantation in cases of missing premolars.The postoperative behavior of premolars transplanted before completion of root formation and the long-term prognosis for such teeth have recently been studied. After postoperative observation periods ranging between 3 years 4 months and 13 years 9 months, all of the thirty-four teeth in question were found to still be in place. Root formation had continued, supporting tissues had developed, and the teeth had erupted. In most instances they had functioned normally without giving rise to problems of any kind. Their status during the re-examination implied that most of them would function normally for many years to come, perhaps for a lifetime. Autotransplantation of missing premolars in many cases is the only alternative to prosthetic substitution, and it is our method of preference. However, substitution by autotransplantation cannot be applied unless a suitable transplant is available. Any premolar destined to be extracted for orthodontic reasons is a possible transplant. In young patients it is also a suitable one. In orthodontic extraction cases, therefore, suitable transplants are usually available. In nonextraction cases, none is available unless teeth in other dental arch quadrants are "sacrificed." In the present report six cases are presented as examples of solutions to the problem of missing premolars by autotransplantation. The main combinations of missing teeth and types of malocclusion in which premolars extracted for orthodontic reasons can advantageously be used as substitutes for other premolars are defined. Also, the justification for "sacrificing" a premolar in one quadrant to the advantage of another quadrant is discussed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
