Premature loss of permanent dentition from caries, trauma, iatrogenic damage or developmental abnormalities. The tooth of choice to replace a tooth missing in the anterior maxillary region is the maxillary second premolars. Poor prognosis first permanent molars can be replaced with third molars
Comparison of the cementoenamel junction on the mesial surfaces of the maxillary central, first bicuspid, and first molar. The shape and location of the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) on each tooth surface should be considered. CEJs differ from tooth to tooth in terms of their anatomy.
Mandibular teeth erupt in the following order: (1) first molar (2) central incisor, (3) lateral incisor, (4) canine, (5) first premolar, (6) second premolar, (7) second molar, and (8) third molar. Since there are no premolars in the primary dentition, the primary molars are replaced by permanent premolars. [48]
Class VI Caries affecting cusp tips of molars, premolars, and cuspids. Graham J. Mount's classification: Mount classified cavities depending on their site and size. [11] The proposed classification was designed to simplify the identification of lesions and to define their complexity as they enlarge. Site: Pit/Fissure: 1; Contact area: 2 ...
Preformed metal crowns are now recommended as the optimum restoration for managing carious primary molars. There are multiple randomised controlled trials that have shown the Hall Technique to be superior to other methods for managing decay in baby teeth, [ 1 ] but there is a lack of evidence to conclude that the Hall Technique is superior to ...
An oroantral fistula (OAF) is an epithelialized oroantral communication (OAC), which refers to an abnormal connection between the oral cavity and the antrum. [1] The creation of an OAC is most commonly due to the extraction of a maxillary tooth (typically a maxillary first molar) which is closely related to the antral floor.
The All-on-4 treatment concept is a prosthodontic procedure (i.e replacement of missing teeth) that provides a permanent, screw-retained, same-day replacement for the entire upper and / or lower set of teeth with a bridge or denture. The procedure is best for patients with significant tooth loss or decay, and for people whose bone loss in the ...
In Modern humans, the first molar teeth are the largest among the molars and the overall tooth size is reduced. In the earliest hominins and archaic hominins, second molars were generally the largest of the molars teeth and the third molars were closer to the size of the second molars.
