Developmental anomalies may affect the number and morphodifferentiation of teeth. Development of two teeth from one tooth bud gives rise to gemination. Geminated teeth with caries may lead to pulpal pathologies for which extraction may be a preferred treatment. We report a case of geminated maxillary carious primary incisor treated with pulpectomy in a five year-old child.

The deciduous teeth which are retained beyond the age of exfoliation are termed as over-retained deciduous teeth. There are numerous reasons for such teeth which include congenital absence or impaction or translation or transmigration of successor teeth or maybe because of existence of some kind of pathology, such as cysts, tumours, and odontoma under the primary tooth that results in the impaction of successor teeth. It may also be due to partial or total microdontia of permanent dentition. This leads to malalignment in permanent dentition which indirectly hampers the normal growth of the jaws. This case report shows several after-effects of over retained teeth along with the concerned multiple treatment options.

The report is about a case of total intrusion of a deciduous central incisor involving a male patient of 14 months of age. Repositioning of the intruded tooth was performed 20 minutes after the trauma, followed by placement with sutures. Clinical and radiographic monitoring performed after 1, 2, 4, 9, and 13 months showed normal characteristics. We emphasize the development of preventive programs promoting parental awareness of the importance of looking for prompt care, resulting in a better prognosis.

Objective: The aim of this case report is to describe the treatment of a primary molar with a deep carious lesion by pulpotomy and placement of a ceramic endocrown. Clinical case: A 7-year-old male patient with profound caries in tooth number 85 was referred to our clinic and underwent a pulpotomy. As the final treatment in tooth restoration, placement of an endocrown was planned, because little more than half of the tooth structure remained. After an additional request from the patient's parents for an advanced and prompt restoration, a computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) block was chosen. A three-dimensional model of the arch was obtained after scanning the dental cast, and the endocrown was designed digitally according to the model. When the design was complete, the endocrown was fabricated with a milling machine. Finally, the endocrown was cemented with self-adhesive resin cement. Results: Over the 9-month follow-up period, no pulpal or periradicular pathology was observed on radiographs. Regarding the crown, the marginal fit was excellent, the anatomical form was protected, and no discoloration occurred. Conclusion: During follow-up, the CAD/CAM PICN block endocrown proved to be a good material for the short- to long-term treatment of a primary tooth. However, more clinical cases and follow-up are required to investigate the long-term effects of antagonistic tooth wear.

Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth above the normal erupted teeth number. Supernumerary premolars are rare developmental anomalies when compared to mesiodens and other supernumerary teeth. Supernumerary premolars are more common in the mandible than the maxilla. This article reports a rare occurrence of supplemental premolars bilaterally present in the maxilla and mandible arches in a non-syndromic patient. Keywords: Supernumerary teeth, premolars, bilateral, maxilla, mandible
