Diversities in the internal anatomy are found in all teeth. Knowledge of these variations, particularly concerning the location and treatment of all canals, is essential for the success of endodontic therapy. Endodontic literature has suggested for ages that maxillary premolars are bicuspid teeth with one or two canals. The possibility of three roots and three canals in maxillary premolars is still rare. This case report presents a clinical case of a maxillary premolar with one palatal canal, one mesio-buccal canal, and one disto-buccal canal. This report serves as a reminder to clinicians that such anatomical variations should be taken into account during endodontic treatment of maxillary premolars.
A study was conducted with the aim of analyzing dental attendance for root canal infections and assessing their association with age, sex, stages of infection, and pathophysiological conditions (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular problems, Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), as well as brushing habits. The study suggests that there is a need to conduct awareness programs highlighting the importance of oral hygiene for people with cavities to improve their oral health.
Abnormalities in the size and number of teeth are occasionally recorded in clinical cases. Hyperdontia is the development of an increased number of teeth, and the additional teeth are termed as supernumerary. Microdontia is a condition where the teeth are smaller than the normal size, which may involve all the teeth or be limited to a single tooth or a group of teeth. We are reporting a unique and unusual case of the occurrence of a supernumerary tooth with microdontia in the maxilla.
The Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is a valuable resource in dental practice because it enables the establishment of a precise treatment plan through diagnostic imaging. CBCT creates new diagnostic resources in dentistry and has been established as a valuable technique in endodontics, oral surgery, and orthodontics specialties. This technology has become an indispensable diagnostic tool applied in different clinical applications, including the evaluation of the receptor site of osseointegrated implants and bone defects, bone graft procedures, assessment of impacted teeth, orthodontic and endodontic planning, investigation of temporomandibular disorders, procedures of sinus augmentations, and orthognathic surgeries. The development and rapid commercialization of CBCT technology dedicated to imaging the maxillofacial region will undoubtedly increase dental practitioners' access to 3D radiographic assessments in clinical dental practice.
Teeth are excellent hard tissues for anthropological, genetic, odontological, and forensic investigations, in both living and non-living populations. Their hardness makes them more resistant to high temperatures and bacterial decomposition. Among all teeth, mandibular canines exhibit the greatest sexual dimorphism. Determining sex from the morphology of mandibular canine teeth may be a valuable method, especially in mass disasters such as hurricanes or conflagrations. This study was conducted on 60 South Indian subjects, 30 males and 30 females aged 17-21 years, to establish the effectiveness of mandibular canine measurements in determining an individual's sex. An accuracy rate of 78.3% was observed, indicating statistically significant sexual dimorphism in the mandibular canine, which can be considered the "key teeth" for sex determination.
