After clinical and radiographic evaluation, marsupialization of the cyst was decided, and a molar attachment was bonded on the buccal side of the impacted molar as a part of a full orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. After 18 months of orthodontic traction, the molar was moved to a more advantageous position, and new bone apposition was observed on the site of the cystic lesion. Histological examination confirmed a dentigerous cyst. The molar was left to erupt spontaneously for 14 more months. A functional occlusion was finally achieved. An interdisciplinary approach proved to be an effective modality in treating a large dentigerous cyst associated with a deeply impacted first mandibular molar, presenting many advantages, such as new bone apposition and patient comfort.

Introduction Tooth impaction can be defined as tooth retention due to an obstacle in the eruption path or—less commonly—due to an ectopic position of the tooth germ [1]. Tooth impaction is relatively common (prevalence of 17%) [2], third molars being the most commonly affected teeth, followed by maxillary canines, mandibular premolars, and mandibular canines. The prevalence rate of impaction for the mandibular second molar ranges from 0.06 to 0.3%, and for the mandibular first molar, the prevalence described is <0.01% [3]. Impaction of the first molar is a serious problem that needs to be addressed in order to achieve functional occlusion and facial harmony. In cases of non-treatment, it can cause a decrease in the vertical dimension of the lower face, malocclusion, extrusion of the antagonist, root resorption in the adjacent teeth, or formation of a dentigerous cyst [4,5]. Dentigerous cysts are odontogenic cysts that originate by separation of the follicle from around the crown of an unerupted tooth [6]. Generally, they are associated with the crowns of impacted or unerupted permanent teeth or, less frequently, with an odontoma, a developing tooth, or a deciduous tooth [7,8]. The incidence of dentigerous cysts in the general population has been estimated at 1.44 cysts for every 100 unerupted teeth [9], comprising the second most common (14 to 24%) of all odontogenic cysts [10,11]. Most often, dentigerous cysts present no clinical symptoms and are detected during routine radiographic examination. In some cases, gum swelling or sensitivity, Dent.

  • Root Canal Treatment of Permanent Mandibular First Molar with Six Root Canals: a Rare Case
    CASE REPORT Turk Endod J 2016;1(1):52–54 doi: 10.14744/TEJ.2016.65375 Root canal treatment of permanent mandibular first molar with six root canals: a rare case Ersan Çiçek,1 Neslihan Yılmaz,1 Murat İçen2 1Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, Turkey 2Department of Oral Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, Turkey This case report aims to present the management of a mandibular first molar with six root canals, four in mesial and two in distal root. A 16-year-old male patient who has suffered from localized dull pain in his lower left posterior region for a long time was referred to the endodontic clinic. On clinical examina- tion, neither caries lesion nor restoration was observed on the mandibular molar teeth; but the occlu- sal surface of the teeth had pathologic attrition. The mandibular and maxillary molars were tender to percussion due to bruxism, but there was no tenderness towards palpation. All of the molars revealed normal responses to the vitality tests. It was suggested that he should use the night-guard against brux- ism. After three months, his pain almost completely relieved, but the percussion of the left mandibular molar was still going on. After access cavity preparation, careful examination of the pulp chamber floor with dental loupe and endodontic explorer (DG 16 probe) showed six canal orifices, four of mesially and two of distally. CBCT scan was performed in order to confirm the presence of six canals. Following one year, it was observed that he had no pain.

  • Endodontic Therapy in a 3-Rooted Mandibular First Molar: Importance of a Thorough Radiographic Examination
    C LINICAL P RACTICE Endodontic Therapy in a 3-Rooted Mandibular First Molar: Importance of a Thorough Radiographic Examination • Juan J. Segura-Egea, DDS, MD, PhD • • Alicia Jiménez-Pinzón, DDS • • José V. Ríos-Santos, DDS, MD, PhD • Abstract This case report describes endodontic therapy on a mandibular first molar with unusual root morphology. In the initial treatment the working length had been determined with only an apex locator; no periapical radiographs had been obtained because the patient was pregnant. The root canal into an additional distolingual root had not been found and was therefore left untreated, which led to treatment failure after 11 months. The radiographic examina- tion performed in a subsequent endodontic treatment allowed detection of the anomalous root and completion of the root canal treatment. The distolingual root canal would have been identified during the initial endodontic therapy if a thorough radiographic examination had been carried out. This report highlights the importance of radiographic examination and points out the need to look for additional canals and unusual canal morphology associated with a mandibular first molar. Radiographic examination during pregnancy is also discussed.

Corresponding Author: Bala Saraswathi. K ABSTRACT Anatomic variations may be present in any tooth. Knowing the typical morphology and their variations helps in better prognosis of the treatment performed. The result of successful endodontics revolves around knowledge, respect, and appreciation for root canal anatomy, and careful, thoughtful, meticulously performed cleaning and shaping procedures. Knowledge of pulpal anatomy, it’s possible variations is critical for success in endodontic and lack of such knowledge may lead to treatment failure. The most typical anatomy of a mandibular second molar is the presence of two roots and three root canals, but variations in the number of roots as well as canal morphology are not uncommon. This includes single canal, two canals, three and four canals, five canals and C-shaped canal system. Because proper cleaning, shaping, and three dimensional obturation of the entire root canal system is regarded as an important determinant to good prognosis, the variations in root canal system, thus, represents a challenge to its proper diagnosis, debridement and obturation.

  • Dental Arch Space Changes Following Premature Loss of Primary First Molars

Methods: Electronic database searches were conducted—including published information available until July 2007—for available evidence. A methodological quality assessment was also applied. Results: Although a significant number of published articles had dealt with premature primary molar loss, only 3 studies (including a total combined sample of 80 children) had the minimal methodological quality to be considered for this systematic review. Conclusion: A reported immediate space loss of 1.5 mm per arch side in the mandible and 1 mm in the maxilla—when normal growth changes were considered—was found. The magnitude, however, is not likely to be of clinical significance in most cases. Nevertheless, in cases with incisor and/or lip protrusion or a severe predisposition to arch length deficiency prior to any tooth loss, this amount of loss could have treatment implications.

Objectives The objectives of the prospective study were to establish the prevalence of distal caries (DC) in the mandibular second molar and to assess the outcomes of these diseased teeth in our population. Further aims were to identify associated risk factors and to design a protocol for prevention. Methods Clinical and radiographic data from 210 consecutive patients were ascertained over a three-month period. The sample population included all patients who had been referred to a hospital oral surgery department for a lower wisdom tooth assessment. Results A total of 224 mandibular third molars were included and assessed. The prevalence of caries affecting the distal aspect of the second molar was 38% (n = 85) in this population. In 18% of patients there was evidence of early enamel caries. Fifty-eight percent of caries was managed with restorative treatment but 11% of patients required second molar extraction and 13% of patients required the removal of the second and third molars. The prevalence of distal caries was significantly higher in patients with partially erupted wisdom teeth positioned below the amelocemental junction (P <0.05) of the adjacent second molar and in patients who presented with mesioangular impactions (P <0.001).

The importance of the knowledge of the anatomy of root canals cannot be overemphasized. Unusual root and root canal morphologies associated with maxillary molars have been reported in several studies, in the literature. The morphology of the maxillary first molar has been studied and reviewed extensively. However the presence of two roots in a maxillary first molar is a rare occurrence and such cases have seldom been reported in literature.
