They define the mouth’s corner, are involved in the aesthetic smile, maintain occlusal stability, and design the shape of the dental arch. As the position of the impacted canines is amidst vital anatomical structures like the nasal cavity and sinuses in the maxilla and mental nerve in the mandible, a thorough radiographic evaluation to determine the position of the impacted canines is of utmost importance prior to any treatment planning. By using a radiographic image, a clinician can clearly identify its location. The present paper aimed to determine the prevalence, etiology, and clinical diagnosis of impacted maxillary canines in orthodontic patients.

Selecting the appropriate treatment option depends on many factors, such us the malocclusion, the anterior relationship, specific space requirements, bone volume, root proximity, the condition of the adjacent teeth, and esthetic prediction mainly when the canine must be reshaped.Resin bonded bridges were considered to be doomed owing to their very high decementation rate, have come alive once again because of newer resin based cements. This article will discuss the variety of treatment managements in case of space opening and treated with two 2-unit cantilevered resin-bonded fixed partial dentures supported by the cuspids. This conservative treatment plan was cost-effective without having any significant biological cost.

The treatment options available are space closure by canine substitution and space opening for future prostheses. The aim of this study was systematized knowledge regarding interdisciplinary treatment of lateral incisors hypodontia by canines mesialization. the position normally occupied by the maxillary lateral incisor and then reshaping it to look more like the lateral incisor.

The purpose of the present retrospective radiographic study was to provide data concerning the prevalence of non-syndromic hypodontia in patients reporting to the Center for Dentistry,Research & Aesthetics, Jatt, Almothalat, Israel. Material and Methods: Five hundred consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected from the records. The radiographic records included at least one clear adequate quality Orthopantomogram (OPG), which was supplemented when necessary by a periapical radiograph. Results: A prevalence of 2,6 percent hypodontia was seen in the sample. Conclusions: It was concluded that hypodontia is prevalent in Arabs population in Israel with a 2,6% incidence which is on the higher limit of the global range (1.6 – 9.6%). However further studies should be conducted on a larger non-orthodontic s...

Numerous efforts have been made to understandthe etiology of CL/P so as to predict its occurrence and to prevent it from occurringin the future. In the recent years, advances in genetics and molecular biology havebegun to reveal the basis of craniofacial development. Various genetic approaches,including genome-wide and candidate gene association studies as well as linkageanalysis, have been undertaken to identify aetiologic factors, but results have oftenbeen inconclusive or contradictory. These results may support the presence ofaetiologic heterogeneity among populations and the presence of multiple genesinvolved in the aetiology of CL/P. Despite these difficulties, several different geneshave been implicated in harbouring genes that contribute to the aetiology of CL/P. In conclusion, the genetic basis of CL/P is still controversial because of genetic complexity of clefting.

Numerous theories have been proposed to explain this rare phenomenon and a broad classification has also been proposed. This paper reports a series of 2 cases with mandibular canine transmigration with special emphasis on etiology and classification of transmigrations.

This prospective study evaluates the outcome of forced orthodontic eruption of impacted canine teeth in both palatal and labial positions. Eighty-two impacted maxillary canines in 2200patients were included in the study and were observed for 2006 to 2013 ,in Center for Dentistry research and Aesthetics, Jatt/Israel after exposure. Following exposure by means of a palatal flap or an apically repositioned buccal flap, an orthodontic traction hook, with a Titanium Button with chain by Watted (Dentaurum) attached, was bonded to each impacted tooth using a light cured orthodontic resin cement. A periodontal dressing was placed over the surgical site for a period of time. All teeth were successfully erupted. Complications consisted of: failure of initial bond, at the time of surgery, which required rebonding; premature debonding at the time of pack removal and; debonding of b...

The clinical indicators of diagnosing this parafunction were the presence of dental wear/attrition and bruxofacets. The disorder appears more frequently in the younger population. The prevalence in children is between 14 to 20%. The present case report refers to a patient who reported to the Center For Dentistry,Research & Aesthetics, Jatt, Almothalath, Israel ,with the complain of Bruxism .A brief review is made of the literature concerning the etiology,clinical diagnosis and the therapeutic approach of the disease.

Corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment is an established and efficient orthodontic technique ... more Corticotomy-assisted orthodontic treatment is an established and efficient orthodontic technique that has recently been studied in a number of publications. Corticotomy facilitated orthodontics have been employed in various forms over speed up orthodontic treatment It involves selective alveolar decortication in the form of decortication lines and dots performed around the teeth that are to be moved. It is done to induce a state of increased tissue turnover and a transient osteopenia, which is followed by a faster rate of orthodontic tooth movement. This technique has several advantages, including faster tooth movement, shorter treatment time, safer expansion of constricted arches, enhanced post-orthodontic treatment stability and extended envelope of tooth movement. The aim of this article is to present a comprehensive review of the literature, including historical background, contemporary clinical techniques, indications, contraindications, complications and side effects.
