Two-stage incisor transplant and orthodontic space redistribution.
This report describes a complex case with unerupted upper anterior teeth and other dental anomalies requiring the two-stage incisor transplantation technique in conjunction with two phases of orthodontic treatment. The case illustrates the benefits of careful planning and of limiting treatment goals to the needs and perceptions of the patient. The final result also emphasizes the aesthetic dental improvements now possible with a multidisciplinary approach.
Management of the unerupted incisor.
Failure of eruption of incisors can cause problems in the adult dentition. Early diagnosis is vital, and a number of options are available for treatment. This article sets out guidelines for general dental practitioners managing such teeth.
The moving maxillary mesiodens--a case report.
A case is reported of two maxillary mesiodens which altered their position over a six year period.
[Auto-transplantation of tooth germs. Discussion and presentation of 3 treated cases].
The authors examine the theoretical possibilities of human dental transplants: autologous, homologous and heterologous. They, then discuss-with reference to autologous transplants-an autotransplant as an alternative to prosthodontic treatment. This would apply both to traditional prosthodontic treatment and on implants or orthodontic treatment aiming at filling dental gaps. They show both general and local counterindications against this operational method the knowledge of which is necessary for an adequate selection of patients. They stress the determining factors for a successful autotransplant: 1) particular care with the choice of the germ to be transplanted taking into account its morphology and the stage of root development; 2) adequate surgical preparation of the receiving site in relation to the size of the germ to be transplanted; 3) suitable surgical technique entailing a particular care in the manipulation of soft and hard tissues and of the germ and appropriate conditions of sterilization; 4) use of appropriate retention means to ensure stability of the transplanted germ so as to favour cellular proliferation and reduce osteoclastic activity; 5) reduction of occlusal pressure on the transplanted germ. The authors describe for example's sake 3 out of 32 cases treated with the documentation of the achieved long-term success. They also analyse the possible causes of failure of such operational method (careless manipulation of the germ, incorrect surgical technique, removal of the germ in a too early stage of its development, too long exposure of the germ outside the oral cavity, poor oral hygiene, caries, periodontal disease, occlusal trauma.
Transmigration of mandibular canines: report of six cases and review of the literature.
Six young adults were found to have transmigrated mandibular canines. One patient presented with two transmigrated canines. Of the seven impacted teeth, the left mandibular canines was involved in five instances and the right two. In all patients, the primary canine was present in the dental arch. A supernumerary tooth was disclosed on the panoramic radiograph of two patients. Five patients underwent surgical removal of the transmigrated tooth from an intraoral approach. One patient experienced transient postoperative paresthesia in the zone innervated by the mental nerve. When the transmigrated canine is accessible, and especially if it is symptomatic, removal of unerupted tooth is recommended. Otherwise, it should be left alone and kept under observation.

A case of combined dental development abnormalities: importance of a thorough examination.
This report describes a case of combined dental development abnormalities. A patient with a previous ectopically erupted supernumerary maxillary canine presented a new ectopically erupted supernumerary premaxillary tooth with dens invaginatus (Oehlers' type 2) and an aberrant coronal morphology, including a pit in the distal portion of the palatal surface. This tooth would have been diagnosed earlier if a panoramic radiograph had been taken at the first visit 5 months before. This case represents a good example of combined dental development abnormalities, i.e., a numerical anomaly (the supernumerary tooth), an alteration of dental position (the ectopic eruption), an alteration of dental morphology (the aberrant coronal shape), and the invagination. This case highlights the importance of a thorough examination, including complementary radiography, of patients with a dental anomaly.
