Bilateral agenesis of maxillary second premolars and bilateral ectopic eruption of mandibular first molars – A rare case report

<p>Agenesis of the tooth is the dental anomaly involving tooth development, whereas ectopic eruption is the dental phenomenon encompassing the process of tooth eruption of a particular tooth from the alveolar crypt into the oral cavity. These two are entirely different clinical entities rarely seen during clinical practice as an isolated finding. The present article shows the concomitant occurrence of congenital, idiopathic bilateral agenesis of permanent maxillary second premolars and bilateral ectopic eruption involving permanent mandibular first molars in an 8-yearold Indian male patient. <br> </p&gt

Bilateral 'Molarization' of the mandibular second premolars in association with unusual dental variation – report of a rarest case

Permanent mandibular premolars are the teeth most commonly affected by various clinical abnormalities like supernumerary teeth, tooth impaction, congenital agenesis and variation in root or root canals. The aim of this article is to present a rarest case of bilateral occurrence of molar mimicking (Molarization) permanent mandibular second premolars in association with bilateral supplemental supernumerary premolars and an occlusal tubercle in an Indian patient

Type III Radix Entomolaris in permanent mandibular second molar

Various dental anomalies including either crown or root portion can be seen during clinical practice. Radix Entomolaris is an uncommon radicular anomaly characterized by being a third root seen attached to lingual aspect of main distal of the mandibular molar. The purpose of this paper is to present a rare case of RE exhibiting in permanent mandibular second molar which is rarely reported so far

Eruption cyst: A literature review and four case reports

Eruption cyst is a benign cyst associated with a primary or permanent tooth in its soft tissue phase after erupting through the bone. It is most prevalent in the Caucasian race. Intraoral examination of four patients revealed eruption cyst. Among these, in three patients it occurred in the maxillary arch and one had it in the mandibular arch. All were associated with permanent tooth. Surgical treatment was done in three cases and in one case the cyst disappeared gradually and tooth erupted in normal pattern. Four cases of eruption cyst from India are presented and literature on this condition is reviewed. It is clinically significant in that knowledge among general dentists is very essential regarding this developmental disturbance to reach the correct diagnosis and to provide proper treatment
