Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare, benign odontogenic tumor that predominantly appears in the second decade of life in female patients. Most AOTs occur in the anterior part of the maxilla and are usually associated with impacted anterior teeth. There are three types of AOT, follicular, extrafollicular, and peripheral, which are classified based on the location of the lesion and its association with the impacted tooth. We report a rare case of AOT associated with an impacted right mandibular lateral incisor in an 11-year-old female patient.

Transmigration of an impacted tooth through the symphyseal suture is a rare and special developmental anomaly of unknown etiology that is unique to the mandibular canine. Maxillary canine transmigration is even rarer. Transmigrated canines are particularly significant due to the aesthetic and functional importance. A maxillary lateral incisor crossing the mid-palatal suture has never been reported in the literature. The aim of this report is to present the first case of simultaneous transmigration of a lateral incisor and canine in the maxilla. The paper also reports four unusual cases of unilateral canine transmigration in the maxilla and mandible and successful eruption of one of the transmigrated mandibular canines following orthodontic traction. Etiology of transmigration and its clinical considerations are also discussed.

A study on the impacted teeth of the anterior segment was carried out. The data for this study were compiled form 1739 outpatients of the Department of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, Seoul National University. The following conclusions were obtained; 1. The frequency of the impacted teeth of the anterior segment was 2.8% and the frequency of male was 4.0%, that of female was 2.1%., respectively. 2. The order of occurrence of the impacted teeth in the anterior segment was maxillary canine mesiodens, maxillary central incisor, maxillary lateral incisor, mandibular canine. 3. The etiologic factors of the impaction were the space deficiency for eruption, cleft palate, the prolonged retention of deciduous teeth, dentigerous cyst. 4. The favorable results of treatment and prognosis were obtained from the impacted teeth of the normal shape after surgical exposure and adhered the plastic attachment and inducted them into the dental arch.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and radiographic features of 1,300 cases of supernumerary teeth by means of the analysis of periapical radiograms and/or pantomograms in 69,442 persons visited the Department of Oral Radiology, School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University during January 1980 to December 1989. This study of supernumerary teeth revealed the following features: 1. The incidence of supernumerary tooth was revealed to be 1.5% in total examined persons, and there was a higher incidence in males (74.0%) than in females (26.0%). 2. The supernumerary teeth were most frequently occurred in the 1 st decade (42.7%), followed by the 2nd decades (20.2%), the 3rd decades (14.1 %), and the 5th decades (7.2%). 3. There was a higher incidence in the maxilla (98.7%) than in the mandible (1.3%), and mesiodens (90.1 %) was the most frequently occurred. The maxillary lateral incisor region (3.1%) was next in order of frequency followed by maxillary distomolar (2.2%), and maxillary paramolar (1.5%). 4. There was a higher incidence of the impaction (82.7%) than that of the eruption (17.3%), and supernumerary tooth in lateral incisor region (87.8%) was the most frequently impacted one. 5. The inverted impaction was occurred in 63.1%, the vertical impaction in 18.1%, and the angulated impaction in 18.8%. In localization, a palatally (lingually) impacted supernumerary tooth was occurred in 85.0%, and middle impacted and buccally (labially) impacted supernumerary tooth showed the same incidence (7.5%). 6. A supplemental tooth was occurred in 3.2%, an accessory tooth in 96.8%, and a supplemental tooth was the most frequently occurred in maxillary lateral incisor and mandibular premolar region. 7. In effects of supernumerary tooth on adjacent tooth, crowding was occurred in 0.4%, diastema in 10.6%, rotation in 5.4%, eruption disturbance in 4.5%, root resorption in 2.5%, and dentigerous cyst in 2.2%.

Objective: To evaluate the null hypothesis that there is no difference in a set of clinical predictors of potentially impacted canines between low-risk patients with and without displaced canines. Methods: The normal canine position group consisted of 30 patients with 60 normally erupting canines ranked in sector I (age, 9.30 ± 0.94 years). The displaced canine group comprised 30 patients with 41 potentially impacted canines ranked in sectors II to IV (age, 9.46 ± 0.78 years). Maxillary lateral incisor crown angulation, inclination, rotation, width, height, and shape, as well as palatal depth, arch length, width, and perimeter composed a set of clinical predictors, which were evaluated on digital dental casts. Statistical analyses consisted of group comparisons and variable correlations (p < 0.05). Results: There was a significant association between sex and mesially displaced canines. Unilateral canine displacement was more prevalent than bilateral displacement. The crown of the maxillary lateral incisors was significantly angulated more mesially and rotated mesiolabially in low-risk patients with displaced canines, who also had a shallower palate and shorter anterior dental arch length. Lateral incisor crown angulation and rotation, as well as palatal depth and arch length, were significantly correlated with the canine displacement severity. Conclusions: The null hypothesis was rejected. Maxillary lateral incisor angulation inconsistent with the "ugly duckling" stage as well as a shallow palate and short arch length are clinical predictors that can significantly contribute to the early screening of ectopic canines in low-risk patients.

The patient, a girl of 19 years in good health, had a class I malocclusion. The maxillary left centra1 incisors and both lateral incisors had already erupted. But the space for the right central incisor was partially closed by the mesial drifting of the neighboring teeth. The caused a shift in the midline and a cross-bite relation on the incisors. X-ray examination revealed the presence of the right central incisor in the alveolar bone and odontoma just above the crown of the right central incisor. After enough space for the impacted incisor was created in the dental arch with a open-coil spring the rectangular incision was made. Removing the odontoma uncovered the flat surface of the labial aspect of the incisor. During the tooth had erupted of its own accord, any unnecessary force had been imposed on the tooth. When it was decided that the tooth should be brought out by the mechanical device, the gold cast onlay with hook was used and run a light elastic between this hook and the main arch wire. Finally the tooth was brought down to the arch level. The result was excellent. Fortunately the esthetic problem and any detrimental effects on the psychological make-up could be avoided.

Upper canine is described as 'cornerstone' of maxilla, and its importance is implicated by long root and good alveolar support. The incidence of impaction of upper canine is the second most frequent next to the third molar because it takes a long period of time to develop, and has a complicated path of eruption, and erupts lately. Generally, the patient who has a palatally impacted canine visit the clinic primarily due to a missing of canine after 12-13 years old. Palatally impacted canine is different from labially impacted canine in its cause and treatment process. It is due to malposition or anomalous lateral incisor rather than arch length deficiency. Once the impaction is identified, the first stage of the treatment is to localiz the lesion by radiographic examinations or others and according to severity, orthodontic traction, or transplantation should be considered, and comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan of malocclusion should be estsblished. Properly managed impacted canine can provide funtion and esthetic through proper diagnosis and treatment of extraction of canine is not indicated.

치아 매복이란 여러 가지 이유로 구강 점막이나 악골내에서 치아가 맹출하지 못하고 있는 상태를 의미한다. 상악 중절치 매복의 원인은 치아종, 과잉치, 공간의 상실, 선행유치의 만기잔존 또는 조기상실, 선행유치의 외상으로 인한 치관이나 치근의 기형, 치배의 이소위치 등이 있다. 매복된 상악 중절치의 경우, 측절치가 빠르게 근심으로 이동하여 공간을 상실하고, 정중선의 변이가 발생하며, 낭종을 형성할 가능성도 있다. 따라서, 매복치의 조기 진단과 그에 따른 적절한 처치가 즉각적으로 이루어져야 한다. 일반적으로 매복의 정도가 심하지 않거나, 각화조직에 의해 매복이 초래된 경우 외과적인 노출만으로도 맹출을 유도할 수 있지만, 외과적인 노출후에 일정기간의 관찰에도 맹출이 되지 않는다거나, 치아의 맹출 방향이 자가 교정될 수 없을 정도로 심하게 변위되어 있는 경우, 매복의 위치가 너무 심부에 있는 경우에는 교정적 견인을 시도하는 것이 바람직하다. 본 증례는 매복된 상악 중절치 중 일정기간의 주기적 관찰후 맹출이 기대되지 않았기에, 교정적으로 견인하여 치료하였으며, 치료후 다소의 지견을 얻었기에 보고하는 바이다.
