Objectives: To assess the scientific evidence related to the role of the mandibular third molars on the late crowding of the lower anterior teeth in patients with or without previous orthodontic treatment. The secondary outcomes included changes in mandibular arch width and arch length.
Materials And Methods: The databases PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar were searched from inception until April 2022.
Background: Root resorption (RR) of the adjacent teeth due to upper canine impaction requires an appropriate modification of the orthodontic treatment plan and the mechanotherapy used.
Aim: The aim of this review was to assess scientific evidence published during the last decade, concerning the prevalence of lateral incisor RR caused by impacted maxillary canines, based only on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). The location of RR on this tooth, as well as the prevalence of RR on the other adjacent teeth, were additionally evaluated.
Background: Patients with cleft lip and palate usually present a Class III skeletal pattern. Facemask (FM) is one of the conventional orthodontic treatment modalities used to address the skeletal discrepancy in cleft patients.
Objective: To investigate the potential effectiveness of FM in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients.
Supernumerary teeth (or hyperdontia) are teeth that exceed the normal number of deciduous or permanent teeth in the oral cavity. The occurrence of supernumerary teeth without any associated syndrome has been frequently reported and many case reports have been published. This article reports two rare cases of familial occurrence of multiple paramolars without the presence of any other syndrome for two consecutive generations.
