Background: Dilaceration can lead to impaction of maxillary incisors, resulting in both aesthetic and functional problems. This case report presents the multidisciplinary approach to managing an inverse impacted dilacerated left lateral incisor in a 9-year-old male patient.

Case Report: The orthodontic alignment of the remaining three incisors was achieved within six months.

Background: Dilaceration is a rare dental developmental anomaly characterized by an abrupt deviation along the longitudinal axis of the root in which an angulation forms between the root and the crown. Here, we report on dilacerated bilateral maxillary central incisors in mixed dentition.

Case Summary: A 10-year-old girl presented with a chief complaint of unerupted central incisors.

Introduction: Despite researchers' recent interest in identifying links between some dental and craniovertebral abnormalities, there are many important, unassessed gaps in our knowledge of this matter. In addition, previous samples were small. This large study aimed to examine, for the first time, the occurrence/severity of numerous dental and skeletal anomalies or variations and their correlations with each other and with growth patterns.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether there is any association between molar incisor hypomineralization and developmental dental anomalies.

Methods: Two pediatric dentists evaluated panoramic radiographs of 429 children aged 8-14 years with molar incisor hypomineralization (study group) and 437 children without molar incisor hypomineralization (control group) in terms of developmental dental anomalies. Twelve different developmental dental anomalies were categorized into four types: size (microdontia, macrodontia); position (ectopic eruption of maxillary permanent first molars, infraocclusion of primary molars); shape (fusion, gemination, dilaceration, taurodontism, peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors); and number (hypodontia, oligodontia, hyperdontia) anomalies.

Developmental disturbances in the permanent dentition are commonly seen due to traumatic injuries to the primary teeth, especially intrusive and avulsion injuries of the overlaying primary incisors. These disturbances may range from enamel discoloration or hypoplasia, crown/root dilaceration, odontoma-like malformation and eruption disturbances. Concrescence is extremely rare in anterior teeth.
