Eruption problems in the mandibular molars are rare, but they have to be diagnosed and treated early. Treatment of impacted molars is challenging due to a limited access and complexity of the mechanics that needs to be applied. Methods for managing impacted or tilted mandibular molars include orthodontic repositioning, surgical uprighting, and extraction with or without transplantation of the third molar into the extraction site. This review highlights the methods and clinical procedures of surgical and orthodontic uprighting procedures of mandibular molars with different degrees and levels of impaction. It further discusses the use of the ramus screw as a temporary anchorage device in the uprighting of horizontally impacted mandibular molars.

Investigating the pattern of extension in the periapical (PA) inflammatory lesions is important in the treatment plan and prognosis of treatment. This study evaluated the topography of PA inflammatory lesions in the first molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). In this descriptive study, 197 CBCT images about patients in the age group of 14-77 years were analyzed.

Background: This study aims to investigate the prevalence and morphology of middle mesial canal (MMC) in mandibular first molar (M1M) among a Northwestern Chinese population, and to analyze their relationship with anatomical aspects of the mesial root.
Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was utilized to evaluate 898 M1Ms and assess the incidence and morphology of MMC. The following parameters for M1M with or without MMC were obtained: the vertical distance between the first appearance of MMC and canal orifices (D), the distance between mesiobuccal (MB) and mesiolingual (ML) canals (D1), the buccolingual width(L1) and mesiodistal width (L2) of mesial roots, and the flatness degree(L1/L2) of mesial roots.
