Pain, discomfort, and functional impairment after extraction of primary teeth in children with palatally displaced canines - a randomized control trial comparing extraction of the primary canine versus extraction of the primary canine and the primary first molar.

Conclusion: Primary canines and first molars can be extracted in a way that is associated with relatively low levels of pain and discomfort during and after the procedures. Double extractions induced more pain and discomfort than single extractions, which should be accounted for in the treatment planning.

Material And Methods: Twenty-eight children, aged 9.

Double vs single primary tooth extraction in interceptive treatment of palatally displaced canines.

Objectives: To compare the impact of primary canine and primary first molar extractions with extractions of only the primary canine regarding correction of palatally displaced canines (PDCs).

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two children aged 9.5-13.

Does headgear treatment in young children affect the maxillary canine eruption path?

Objective: To test whether early headgear (HG) treatment and space conditions in the dental arch affect the eruption pathway of the maxillary canines in young children with mixed dentition.

Subjects And Methods: Data from two randomized controlled trials studying the effects of early HG treatment were pooled, yielding a study sample comprising 99 children (38 girls and 61 boys, mean age 7.6 years) with Angle Class II occlusion.

Root resorptions related to ectopic and normal eruption of maxillary canine teeth - A 3D study.

Objective: To assess the incidence and severity of root resorption of maxillary incisors caused by ectopically and normally erupting maxillary canines and to analyse factors influencing root resorption of incisors using cone beam computed tomography.

Subjects And Methods: The study sample comprised 59 patients with a total of 80 canines. Forty-six of the canines, in 37 patients, were defined as ectopic and 34 canines, in 22 patients, were defined as normal.

The incidence of caries and white spot lesions in orthodontically treated adolescents with a comprehensive caries prophylactic regimen--a prospective study.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of a comprehensive prophylactic regimen in reducing the incidence of white spot lesions (WSL) and caries during orthodontic treatment. Eighty consecutive patients, scheduled for fixed appliance treatment in both jaws were compared with a non-orthodontic matched-control group. The oral hygiene regimen consisted of brushing two to three times daily, flossing, fluoride rinse, and plaque disclosing tablets.
