Early diagnostic evaluation of mandibular symmetry using orthopantomogram.

Aims: The aim of this research was to complete Habets's method on orthopantomogram, in order to measure mandibular symmetry horizontally and diagonally in mixed dentition as the first diagnostic evaluation.

Settings And Design: Mixed dentition subjects were consecutively selected according to skeletal maturity.

Materials And Methods: Inclusion criteria were: Mixed dentition, cervical vertebral stages 1-2, Class II or Class III malocclusions, with or without unilateral posterior cross-bite.

Surgical orthodontic treatment of an impacted canine in the presence of dens invaginatus and follicular cyst.

Introduction. "Dens invaginatus" is a dental anomaly which originates from the invagination of the ameloblastic epithelium into the lingual surface of the dental crown during the odontogenesis. It can cause early pulpal necrosis, abscesses, retention or dislocation of contiguous elements, cysts, and internal resorptions.
