1/25. Unerupted second primary mandibular molar positioned inferior to the second premolar: case report.This report is a clinical case of a 7-year-old child who presented right impacted second primary mandibular molar. This tooth was positioned inferior to the second premolar successor and a supernumerary tooth superior to the second premolar. Clinical examination did not reveal systemic diseases ot trauma in the facial region. Treatment consisted of the extraction of the impacted second primary molar and the supernumerary tooth. Periodic examination was indicated for follow-up.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/25. A case of supernumerary teeth in the premaxilla, maxillary cuspid, and mandibular premolar regions.A case of several developing supernumerary teeth is reported. A seven-year-old African-American boy presented with retained primary maxillary central incisors, two impacted mesiodens, and unerupted permanent maxillary central incisors. A dentigerous cyst was removed at the time of surgical removal of the mesiodens. Approximately fourteen months post-extraction, a new panoramic radiograph showed the presence of six previously unidentified developing and unerupted supernumerary teeth, one on each of the maxillary cuspid areas and two on the mandibular premolar regions bilaterally. Practitioners should be aware that supernumerary teeth may develop late. Thus, periodic reevaluation with appropriate radiographs is indicated, especially in patients who have presented with supernumerary teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/25. Orthodontic, genetic, and periodontal considerations in the treatment of impacted maxillary central incisors: A study of twins.Treatment of twins each with one impacted maxillary central incisor and a mesiodens is described. Treatment included rapid expansion, extraction of the mesiodens, surgical exposure of the impacted central incisor, and its forced eruption. The impacted incisor was brought into functional position in one patient but was lost in the other because of insufficient root length and high mobility. Orthodontic, genetic, and periodontal considerations of these 2 cases are evaluated.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/25. Orthodontic treatment of a patient with multiple supernumerary teeth and mental retardation.Supernumerary teeth may lead to impaction or ectopic eruption of maxillary incisors, crowding, oronasal fistula, follicular cyst, migration of adjacent teeth and root resorption. In this presentation, an 11-year-old male patient with 4 supernumerary teeth in the maxillary anterior region and a slight mental retardation problem will be presented. After extraction of the supernumerary teeth, the large space created by distal migration of central incisors was closed by orthodontic treatment. Although initial patient compliance was weak and caused difficulties in the course of treatment, orthodontic treatment was completed successfully.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/25. Inverted mesiodens--a case report.A nine and a half years old female school child was examined in a during routine dental examination. The patient had swelling over maxillary midline area just near the labial frenum. Both the central incisors were in position. Radiographic examination revealed presence of an inverted supernumerary tooth between the roots of the central incisors. Surgical extraction of the supernumerary was planned. A unique case of inverted (upside down) mesiodens is presented.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/25. Description of a clinical technique for tooth extraction in the cleft lip and palate area.cleft lip and palate are relatively common congenital malformations, which may require specialist paedodontic treatment. In this article, the case of a 9-year-old boy with bilateral complete cleft lip and palate is presented. He attended the Hospital for rehabilitation of Craniofacial Anomalies (HRAC) for routine examination, during which the presence of pre-canine supernumeraries bilaterally in the cleft area was seen. The extraction of these dental elements was justified by extensive carious lesions and because they represented a potential problem during secondary palatoplasty. The precautions needed in tooth extraction in patients with cleft lip and palate are described, together with illustrations of the clinical procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 6keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/25. An inverted supernumerary tooth: report of case.A nine-year old male child presented in the Department of Pedodontics with the chief complaint of pain and swelling int the mid-palatal region during mastication. Clinical examination revealed a hard swelling in the palate. Radiographic examination disclosed the presence of an inverted "mesiodens like" supernumerary tooth. Surgical extraction was planned.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/25. Two uncommon uses of Bio-Oss for GTR and ridge augmentation following extractions: two case reports.Bio-Oss is natural bovine bone mineral, which has the property of bone conduction. It is recommended to be used in two- or three-walled bony defects with an ample supply of pleuripotential cells. Two cases are reported. The first was an intentional replantation, because of previous trauma, of a hopeless tooth affected with severe periodontitis. The tooth was replanted after complete elimination of granulation tissue. Bio-Oss, together with a guided tissue regeneration (GTR) membrane, was used to enhance periodontal regeneration. After 2 years of follow-up, the replanted tooth was quite stable. In the second case, Bio-Oss, together with bone taken from the retromolar area, was used in a sinus lift grafting procedure after the removal of two supernumerary teeth from the floor of the maxillary sinus. Four months after grafting, an orthodontic treatment was applied to move the two adjacent teeth through the grafted site and align them in the proper position. The clinical results of the two cases were satisfactory.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/25. early diagnosis and treatment of supplemental mandibular tooth: report of a case.This report describes a rare case of a supplemental tooth with a morphology similar to a lateral incisor, found in the canine region of the mandible of a 6-year-old male. The purpose of this paper is to report the importance of early diagnosis and treatment during mixed dentition. The treatment was extraction of the primary mandibular left canine soon after the initial diagnosis of the condition to facilitate the spontaneous eruption of the supplemental tooth and his removal. Twenty-nine months after the removal of the supplemental tooth the mandibular left canine was fully erupted into normal position. No complication arose from the presence of this supernumerary and his early diagnosis has been very important for not disrupting the normal erupting or alignment of other teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/25. Bilateral maxillary fourth molars and a supernumerary tooth in maxillary canine region--a case report.The occurrence of supernumerary teeth is a relatively uncommon dental anomaly. The aetiology is not clear. Supernumerary teeth have frequently been observed as solitary teeth and impacted in the maxillary arch. This case report describes the rare presence of bilateral maxillary fourth molars and a supernumerary tooth in the maxillary canine region. On the left side, the third molar was extracted first, allowing the fourth molar to move into a more favourable position for later extraction. Two-year postoperative radiography confirmed that the supernumerary tooth had migrated occlusally and mesially permitting a safer extraction procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 2keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
