The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the relationship between the nasolabial angle, the inclination of the lower border of the nose and upper lip, upper incisor inclination and upper lip thickness. A sample of 142 female adolescents aged 13–18 years was chosen. A modified cephalometric analysis was performed with the nasolabial angle, and its components were traced according to Fitzgerald’s method. All analysed parameters showed a statistically significant correlation with the nasolabial angle (NLA). The highest correlation was found for the labial (L/FH) and nasal (N/FH) components of the nasolabial angle, respectively. Upper incisor inclinations (1+:SN, U1FA) and upper lip thickness (ULT) had a stronger correlation with L/FH than NLA, but no correlation was found between these parameters and N/FH. Upper lip thickness did not influence the relationship between incisor inclinat...

The most common post-traumatic complications of permanent teeth include: enamel hypoplasia or hypocalcification, crown or root dilaceration, partial or complete inhibition of root growth, and eruption disorders.<b> Aim</b>. The paper aimed to present orthodontic treatment in a female patient with an impacted permanent lower incisor with significantly impaired morphology due to a trauma to its deciduous predecessor. <b>Material</b>. Material included: patient’s orthodontic records, gypsum models, photographs and radiological records. <b>Results</b>. Orthodontic treatment was successful despite abnormal morphology of the impacted tooth 41. After 4-year follow-up the tooth remains in the arch. <b>Conclusions</b>. A tooth can be preserved in the socket when the crown-to-root ratio (CRR) is at least 1 : 1. ...

The control group consisted of 10 patients diagnosed with leukoplakia lesions in the oral cavity. The methods: Immunohistochemical analysis using the detection system DAKO K5007 Cat - Dako REAL ™ Detection System, Peroxidase DAB +, Rabbit / Mouse. Based upon the statistical results, significant correlation between p53 protein and tumor staging; however, a correlation between the level of expression of EGFR, p44/42, PCNA and staging was not likewise revealed. Looking for oral squamous cell carcinoma markers remains an actual issue. Identification of specific markers of oral cancer could be used in screening the population, determining prognosis and response to treatment.

This process can lead to the loss of the affected tooth. In order to avoid this situation, appropriate treatment within an adequate timeframe is of the utmost importance. The etiology of root resorption requires two phases: injury and stimulation. Injury is related to less mineralized tissues covering either the external surface of the root, known as the precementum, or the internal surface of the root canal, the predentin. Denuded mineralized tissue is colonized by multinucleated cells, which initiate the resorption process. However, without further stimulation of the resorption cells, the process will end spontaneously. Repair with cementum-like tissue will occur within 2-3 weeks (1). Recent studies indicate the significant role of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF a) in the course of mechanically induced root resorption (2). We can recognize a number of factors which will induce this process after tooth injury, with the most frequent being pressure or bacterial infection. Therefore, injury should be classed into three groups: I. The damage to the hard tissues without displacement of the tooth. II. The damage to the periodontium: a.

"Impacted teeth" deals with completely developed teeth with completed root formation, remaining in bone or in soft tissue of the mouth after the physiological time of eruption (I). Among all impacted teeth, canines set up almost 50% and are recognized in 1-2% orthodontic patients. According to Fourniers et al. study, impacted canines issue is twenty times more frequent in maxilla than in mandible, and palatal site is three times more frequent than vestibular one. According to Amin and Grgurevic study impacted canines are recognized in 85% in female patients (2-7). According to Dewel study, canine eruption can be hindered by space and timing. Those teeth are formed high in fossa canina, laterally to piriform aperture. During eruption canines pass the hooked way from the basis of the maxilla to the dental arch. Canines are localized slanting in maxilla and during the eruption take vertical position. In this process lateral incisors play the role of a leading plane. Researchers revealed a correlation between canine impaction and lateral incisor hipodontia or with its atypical root formation (7, 8). There are different reasons of canine impaction, i.e. atypical localization of tooth germ before enamel formation, the path of the germ eruption, thickness of the bone, atypical localization and formation of the adjacent teeth, lack of space in the dental arch and injury. Canine impaction exists very often with subsistence of deciduous teeth, ancylosis and cysts. It is still unknown if it is a reason or a cause of canine impaction (2, 3. 9). MATERIAL AND METHODS Radiological documentation of patients with impacted upper canines was evaluated. Orthopantomogram and dental X-ray (in two projections) were taken as standard procedure to assess the degree of impaction of the canine teeth. In patients with multiple canine impaction and in instances of unsatisfactory conventional radiological imaging, computed tomography examination was indicated. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Leaving of the impacted canine in maxillary or mandibuiary bone leads to many complications such as cysts, root resorption of adjacent teeth, transmigration (especially lower canine) and atypical headache (2, 3, 6, 10, 11).
