  • The purpose of this study is to identify the most common canal type in primary molars and the correlation between their roots and canals. A comprehensive understanding of root canal morphology will lead to more successful root canal treatment. Computed Tomography (CT) images from 114 children (81 boys, 33 girls) aged 3 - 7 years were obtained. The locations and numbers of roots and canals were evaluated, and the relationship between root and canal parameters was determined. The most commonly observed canal morphology in primary maxillary molars were mesio-buccal, disto-buccal and palatal canal. Primary mandibular molars most frequently contain mesio-buccal, mesio-lingual, disto-buccal and distolingual canal. All the roots of the primary maxillary molars except for the mesio-buccal root, each had 1 canal while there were 2 canals observed in each root of primary mandibular molars. Without exception, all mesial roots in primary mandibular 2nd molars had 2 canals. In case when either the palatal root in a primary maxillary molar or the distal root in a primary mandibular molar was separated into 2 roots, each root seemed to have its own canal. Even though the disto-buccal and palatal roots were fused into 1 root in primary maxillary molars, this fused root had tendency to have 2 separate canals. Primary mandibular molars showed similar canal morphologies between left and right molars in the same patient, while the primary maxillary molars did not.

  • The term 'impaction teeth' is used to designate a tooth which remains unerupted in jaw beyond the time at which it should normally be erupted. Most cases of impacted teeth reported in the literature are permanent teeth. The impaction of primary teeth occur rarely whereas impaction of second primary molars is more numerous than all other impactions. Failure of eruption of primary teeth may cause a number of complications, such as interference with development and eruption of successive permanent teeth, malocclusion, cystic change of tooth follicle. The clinican should consider the various treatment option available (a) No treatment and observation, (b) surgical extraction (c) space regainer. Proper treatment plan should be established after thought consideration of impacted tooth and it's relation with successive permanent tooth.

  • Stainless steel crowns are invaluable restorative material for the treatment of badly broken down primary teeth in pediatric dentistry. But it is difficult to fit margin because selection of size is not easy and they are not adjusted for Korean children. The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the marginal adaptation of stainless steel crown of posterior primary tooth. Marginal surface was taken by Fine Pix S602 digital camera and measurements of crown were recorded at 20 points that were randomly selected for marginal gap evaluation by Kappa image base program. 1. Mean marginal gap were large upper 2nd primary molar, lower 1st primary molar, lower 2nd primary molar, upper 1st primary molar in order(p<0.05). 2. Mean marginal surface dimension ratio was more than 20% irrespective of tooth. 3. Largest amount of marginal gap was shown at mesial surface in upper 1st, 2nd primary molar and distolingual surface in lower 1st primary molar, buccal surface in lower 2nd primary molar.

  • The purpose of this study is to evaluate the morphological characteristics of the roots and roots canals of primary molar teeth using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT). A total of 68 CBCT images of children aged 4 - 5 years was used for this study. A total of 160 molar teeth were analyzed. Various parameters such as the number of roots and canals, length of root and root canal, and the angulation and shape of the roots were analyzed. All maxillary primary molars had 3 roots. The presence of 2 root canals in 1 root was only observed in the mesiobuccal root of maxillary primary second molars. Most mandibular primary molars had 2 roots, and most mesial roots had 2 root canals. Concerning the length of the roots, the palatal root of the maxillary primary molar was found to be longest whereas the distobuccal root was shortest. In mandibular primary molars, the mesial root was longer than the distal root. In maxillary primary molars, the palatal root had the greatest angulation whereas the distal root has the greatest in mandibular molars. The root and root canals of maxillary primary molars were more curved in shape whereas mandibular primary molars were straight.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of caries in the dentition of preschool children using cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling. 815 preschool children aged 36-71 months old were examined for caries experience. The first four clusters in the cluster analysis were (1) molars, (2) upper incisors, (3) lower 1st molars, and (4) upper 1st molars in teeth, (1) occlusal surfaces of lower molars and upper 2nd molars, (2) mesial surfaces of upper central incisors, (3) occlusal surfaces of lower 1st molars, and (4) separation between occlusal surfaces of upper and lower 2nd molars in tooth surfaces, and (1) proximal surfaces of upper anterior teeth, (2) occlusal surfaces of lower molars, (3) buccolingual surfaces of upper anterior teeth and (4) buccolingual, proximal, and occlusal surfaces of upper molars and buccolingual and proximal surfaces of lower molars in tooth surfaces groups. In the multidimensional scaling analysis, teeth could be divided into lower 1st molars, upper 1st molars, upper central incisors, upper lateral incisors, lower 2nd molars, upper 2nd molars, and the rest(canines, lower incisors), tooth surfaces could be divided into occlusal surfaces of lower molars, mesial surfaces of upper central incisors, occlusal surfaces of upper molars, and the rest, and tooth surface groups could be divided into proximal surfaces of upper anterior teeth, buccolingual surfaces of upper anteiror teeth, occlusal surfaces of lower molars, and the rest in the order of the distance from others. In the cluster analysis and the multidimensional scaling analysis, caries patterns were different according to the age.

  • Mandibular first molar and primary molars usually have two roots, on the mesial and distal sides. Occasionally, these molars have an extra root located in the distolingual aspect. Prevalence of the 3-rooted first permanent molar shows ethnic variation, ranging from about 3% in Caucasian to about 20% in Mongoloid group, which includes Chinese, Japanese, Eskimo, American and Canadian Indians. The frequency of the mandibular molar with three roots decreases in the order of the first permanent molar, the second primary molar, and the first primary molar. If the mandibular first or second primary molar has an additional distolingual root, the adjacent molars, including the first permanent molar, posterior to it also may have it. Coronal morphologic change can occur in the mandibular first primary molars with three roots: the crown had more triangular-shape compared to the one with two roots, possibly affected by the presence of additional distolingual root. Clinically, exact diagnosis and treatment should be taken with those teeth for pulp canal treatment, extraction, and SS Cr.

  • Data derived from odontometric studies are useful in many areas. Especially crown diameter of primary teeth is important in not only anthropology but also clinical dentistry. The purposes of this study were to compare diameters of primary molars of Korean children with those of preformed stainless steel crown, and examine racial characteristics of primary molars of Korean children. The mesiodistal and buccolingual diameters of primary molars were measured on dental casts taken from 235 children(male 105, female 131), with digital calipers. And the data were compared with those of preformed stainless steel crowns. The results were as follows; 1. No significant difference was observed between the right and left members of antimeric teeth and all primary molars of male were larger than those of female. 2. The diameters of primary molars of Korean are smaller than those of Austrailian aborigines and there was significant difference between diameters of primary molars of Korean and those of other populations. 3. There were size differences between diameters of maxillary, mandibular first molar and preformed stainless steel crown than other primary molars, relatively.

  • Early loss of a primary second molar can cause mesial drift or tilting of the permanent first molar. We present a case of the early loss of the mandibular primary molars in a 5-year-old girl. The patient required extraction of the mandibular left primary first and second molars due to folliculitis on the successors. A flexible denture was used for eruption guidance of the permanent first molar and the recovery of masticatory function simultaneously.

  • An additional root of the primary maxillary second molar is rarely observed. Two cases are presented herein, and we discuss a possible association between additional root of the primary maxillary second molar and displacement and rotation of the permanent successor. Investigation of crown morphology enables the detection of a potential additional root of the primary maxillary second molar, and eruption of the permanent successor needs to be examined carefully if an additional root is present. Early extraction of primary molar and space maintenance can be used as a conservative treatment if the premolar germ shows an abnormal eruption pattern.

  • In the primary dentitions, the majority of dental injuries involve the anterior teeth, especially the maxillary primary central incisors. When injuries affecting primary and permanent teeth are compared, it appears that trauma to the primary dentition is usually confined to the supporting structures, i.e. luxation and exarticulation, while the largest proportion of injuries affecting the permanent dentition is represented by crown fractures. But, cases reporting trauma affecting primary molars are unusual in the literature and several reports describe fractures of posterior teeth. The main goal of this report is to describe the repositioning treatment using removable appliances to an uncommon case of lingual displacement of primary molar that happened to a 4 year 5 month-old female child.
