Prevalence Of Impacted Maxillary Canine Teeth & Dentigerous Cyst (A Prospective Study)

Objectives & Aims Canine impaction is one of the anomalies that should be considered by clinicians in detail. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence, prevalence, patterns & potential distribution of impacted maxillary canine teeth stratified by gender ,location (RT or LT) , unilateral or bilateral. This study also aims to evaluate the possible relationship between impacted Maxillary canines with large dentigerous cysts in maxilla Methods The study was carried out in the department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery .patients were referred from oral medicine, radiology department with the symptom of swelling, pain, discharge or missing canines & retained deciduous canines. After examination of panoramic radiographs & clinical symptoms diagnosis was made, associated symptoms like pain, swelling, number, localization (RT/LT) age & sex, retained deciduous teeth, root resorption of adjacent teeth was also noted The included sample consisted of 100 patients diagnosed with canine impactions / transmigrated canines on clinical examination & panoramic radiographs. Age ranged from 18 to 50 years. 59.61% females 40.38% males. 60.22%maxilla,46.70% mandible.63.17% unilateral, 36.3% bilateral,. ConclusionThe early detection of impacted maxillary canine teeth is crucial for successful treatment, therefore demographic studies are important & should be managed to prevent complications.

Transmigrated canines associated to odontomas / Caninos transmigrados asociados a odontomas

We present the case of a 13-year-old patient with bilateral transmigration of mandibular canine associated with multiple composite odontoma. Impacted canines are very uncommon, with a 0.1 % to 3.6 % prevalence of appearance. The presence in the mandible is less frequent. The odontoma development is often associated with the impacted canines. The etiology is unknown but is associated with traumatic, infectious, hereditary or genetic factors. This pathology is asymptomatic and associated with eruption disorders in temporal and permanent dentition.

Presentamos el caso de un paciente de 13 años de edad con trasmigración bilateral de canino mandibular asociado a múltiples odontomas compuestos. Los caninos impactados son muy poco frecuentes, con una prevalencia de aparición de 0,1 % a 3,6 %. La presencia en la mandíbula es menos frecuente. El desarrollo de odontomas se asocia a menudo con los caninos impactados. La etiología es desconocida pero está asociada con factores traumáticos, infecciosos, hereditarios o genéticos. Esta patología es asintomática y está asociada a trastornos de erupción en dentición temporal y permanente.

Tratamiento quirúrgico de caninos mandibulares bilaterales transmigrados / Surgical treatment of bilateral mandibular transmigrated canine

La migración de caninos inferiores es un fenómeno poco común. Su incidencia es menor que incluidos maxilares y son frecuentemente encontrados en jóvenes. Solamente caninos, segundos premolares y terceros molares incluidos migran a lugares ectópicos en su desarrollo y dientes incluidos ectópicos son, en la mayoría de los casos, asintomáticos. La etiología es compleja y poco descrita en la literatura. Un canino es considerado un diente migrado cuando, horizontalmente, más de la mitad del diente atraviesa la línea mediana. Este artículo reporta un caso clínico, con tratamiento quirúrgico de exodoncia de caninos bilaterales incluidos, horizontalmente en la región de la sínfisis. Se observó que la exodoncia es la conducta operatoria más frecuente, presentando en este caso buenos resultados.

Migration of canine mandibles is a very uncommon phenomenon. Their incidence is less frequent than maxillary canines and present frequently in young people. Only canines, second bicuspid and third molars can migrate to ectopic areas in their development and ectopic embedded teeth are, for the most part asymptomatic. The etiology is complex and with poor information. A canine is considered a migrating tooth when it penetrates horizontally the middle line of the mandible. This paper reports a case with surgical treatment of dental extraction, including horizontal bilateral canines in the symphysis region. It was observed that dental extraction is a more frequent treatment and presented with good results in this case.
