Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

Summary

Current evidence does not support extracting deciduous maxillary canines to aid the eruption of palatally displaced permanent canines. Further research is needed due to insufficient data from identified randomized controlled trials.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Palatally displaced maxillary canines are a common dental anomaly.
  • Extraction of the primary deciduous canine is a proposed intervention to facilitate permanent canine eruption.

Discussion:

  • This review systematically searched major databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs.
  • Studies were included if they involved deciduous maxillary canine extraction and assessed permanent canine eruption.
  • Data extraction focused on eruption prevalence, with planned analysis of risk ratios and mean differences.

Key Insights:

  • No evidence supports deciduous canine extraction for palatally ectopic permanent canine eruption.
  • Two RCTs were identified but could not be included due to inadequate data reporting.

  • Authors of the identified RCTs have been contacted for further information.

    • Outlook:

    • High-quality RCTs are needed to establish the efficacy of deciduous canine extraction.
    • Improved reporting standards in future studies are crucial for systematic reviews.
    • Further investigation into the management of palatally displaced canines is warranted.
