The probability of occurrence of impacted permanent maxillary canine tooth is 2% and, in most cases, is an incidental finding. The management options for them vary from no treatment, surgical exposure, and orthodontic traction into dental arch, surgical removal, and autotransplantation. Although orthodontic traction into the dental arch is the ideal treatment of choice, it cannot be achieved in permanent maxillary canines impacted in unfavorable or aberrant positions. In this article, we report a rare case of a unilateral impacted permanent maxillary canine tooth in an inverted position, which was an incidental finding during the patient's routine dental examination and discuss the management options for impacted permanent maxillary canine teeth.

Objectives: This study aimed to determine the sequence and eruption chronology of permanent teeth in school children and adolescents of Chennai and compare the findings with an existing standard table. Additionally, the study also attempted to explore the influence of sex, body mass index (BMI), and socioeconomic status (SES) on tooth eruption patterns.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was designed, and 12,650 children aged 5-18 years were selected from thirty-five schools using a multistage random sampling method.

Background: Cleft lip and/or palate is the most common congenital orofacial deformity, affecting 1/800 births. A thorough review of the literature has shown that children with cleft have poorer oral hygiene and dental health than other children, with higher levels of caries in both temporary and permanent teeth and poorer periodontal health. Cleft patients are treated by a multidisciplinary team that aims to provide comprehensive care from pre- or post-natal diagnosis to early adulthood and the end of growth.

This case report presents the multidisciplinary treatment of a male patient with a complex form of frontonasal dysplasia who presented with a 0 to 14 facial cleft, mild hypertelorism, absence of the nasal medial process of the nose, and frontonasal encephalocele. Cranial and plastic surgeries were performed to correct hypertelorism and improve the esthetic appearance of the frontonasal region. In the permanent dentition, the patient presented a Class II, division 1 malocclusion with severe maxillary constriction and bilateral posterior crossbite.

Children are particularly vulnerable to fatalities from fire incidents, and the crucial role of dentition in the identification processes is well known. Despite this, research on burned deciduous teeth is lacking, often assuming similarities with burned permanent teeth, disregarding their morphological and chemical distinctions. This goal of this study was to investigate the effect of burning on deciduous teeth, focusing on post-burning tooth color assessment.
