1/18. 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) |
2/18. Submerging deciduous molars--an extraction in time!A case is presented of a 25-year-old man with a submerged lower second deciduous molar and an impacted lower second premolar. Treatment was complicated by the relationship of the teeth to the inferior dental nerve, which necessitated extensive bone removal and mental nerve transposition to remove the submerged and impacted teeth. Early recognition and treatment of the submerging tooth might have prevented the need for such extensive surgery and morbidity at a later date.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 4keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/18. Analysis of the morbidity of submerged deciduous molars: the use of imaging techniques.A case is presented of a 13-year-old patient who had a class I occlusion on a class I skeletal base but with a retained and submerged deciduous molar causing impaction of the second premolar. diagnostic imaging illustrates the potential challenges of the removal of the retained deciduous molar. magnetic resonance imaging used to identify the path of the inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle clearly delineates its intimate association with the impacted teeth and underscores the risk of trauma during extraction. This is discussed with regard to other cases of submerged molars, and a strategy is outlined.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/18. Space-regaining treatment for a submerged primary molar: a case report.The aetiology of submerged primary molars is not known and optimal treatment has still not been established. If submerged primary teeth are left untreated, the occlusal consequences are space-loss due to tipping of adjacent teeth and/or overeruption of the opposing teeth. Normally, treatment consists of extraction of the deciduous teeth or observation for normal exfoliation. Here we report a case where the submerged primary molar was extracted surgically after space-loss had been regained.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/18. Impacted primary mandibular central incisors: case report.Impaction of primary teeth is very rare especially in the maxillary anterior teeth. A tooth that fails to erupt into a normal functional position by the time it normally should, is considered impacted. The purpose of this article is to present a case of a 2 year and 4-month-old male with an impacted primary mandibular central incisors. Clinical examination did not reveal systemic diseases or trauma in the facial region. Clinical and radiographic examinations are described. Treatment consisted of a period of observation for 6 months and the extraction of the impacted primary mandibular central incisors. Eight months after the surgery, the permanent central incisors were erupted in the proper position.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/18. cleidocranial dysplasia: diagnostic criteria and combined treatment.cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is an uncommon, generalized skeletal disorder characterized by delayed ossification of the skull, aplastic or hypoplastic clavicles, and serious, complex dental abnormalities. There are many difficulties in the early diagnosis of CCD because a majority of the craniofacial abnormalities becomes obvious only during adolescence. In the present case, a hypoplastic midface, a relative prognathia of the mandible, and close approximation of the shoulders in the anterior plane were the conspicuous extraoral findings. Prolonged exfoliation of the primary dentition, unerupted supernumerary teeth, and the irregularly and partially erupted secondary dentition produced occlusional anomalies. The presence of the second permanent molars together with the primary dentition and wide spacing in the lower incisor area were typical dental signs. Gradual extraction of the supernumerary teeth and over-retained primary teeth was the first step of oral surgery. This was followed by a surgical exposure of the unerupted teeth by thinning of the cortical bone. Orthodontic treatment was aimed at parallel growth of the jaws. Removable appliances were used to expand the narrow maxillary and mandibular arches, and a Delaire mask compensated for the lack of sagittal growth of the upper jaw. Temporary functional rehabilitation was solved by partial denture. When the jaws have been fully developed, implant insertions and bridges are the therapeutic measures. The reported case and the literature data support the importance of the early diagnosis and interdisciplinary treatment of CCD.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/18. Supernumerary teeth and mental retardation: the importance of early surgical intervention.AIM: This paper reported a rare case of hyperdontia in a child of 10 years who revealed a mixed dentition and a light mental retardation. MATERIALS AND methods: The therapeutic approach has been based on interdisciplinary cooperation between the pediatric dentist, orthodontist and oral surgeon. TC-Dentascan, with a panoramic and occlusal radiographs revealed the presence of two supernumerary teeth in the premaxillary region and clinical examination showed an abnormality of dentoalveolar complex. Both impacted supernumerary teeth were extracted under general anesthesia. Clinical examination revealed that they appeared two premolars in shape with fully formed crowns and partly formed roots. RESULTS: Three months after the extraction of supernumerary teeth there was a spontaneous eruption of permanent central incisors and left lateral incisor. CONCLUSION: The authors emphasized the importance of removal of supernumerary teeth to eliminate the cause of a delayed eruption of permanent teeth.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/18. Cleidocranial dysostosis: a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.To ensure eruption of the dentition in patients with cleidocranial dysostosis, close collatoration between the oral surgeon and the orthodontist is essential to determine the sequence of extraction, the teeth to be ligated, the preferred technique of ligation, and the approach for surgical exposure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/18. A case of gigantiform cementoma associated with multiple unerupted teeth.Both the occurrence of gigantiform cementoma in the jaws or multiple unerupted teeth are very rare conditions. The purpose of this paper is to report on a case of a combination of these two conditions and to review relevant literature. A 47-year-old dwarfish male was referred to our Oral and maxillofacial Surgical Department with the chief complaint of pain and swelling in the right lateral nasal region with the discharge of pus from the right upper premolar area. Clinical and roentgenographic examinations revealed that there were 17 unerupted teeth and some radiopaque and radiolucent shadows on both jaws. This patient was treated with saucerization and extraction of unerupted teeth on the right upper and lower jaws for controlling infected lesions. A surgical specimen was sent for histopathological examination and the report indicated gigantiform cementoma.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/18. Resorption of a first permanent molar.A case is presented of an unerupted maxillary second premolar causing the severe resorption of a first molar tooth. This case underlines the need for adequate radiographic evidence before recommending the extraction of teeth for the relief of crowding.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = extraction (Clic here for more details about this article) |
