Odontogenic anomalies can occur as a result of conjoining defects. These include fusion, gemination and concrescence. The presence of fused teeth can lead to various clinical problems, including the aplasia of permanent successor, the supernumerary teeth and delayed eruption of permanent teeth. In general, the supernumerary teeth associated with fusion is mainly found in the maxillary anterior region. This report describes rare cases of supernumerary tooth associated with fused teeth of mandibular primary lateral incisor and canine. In the first case, fused teeth was extracted. The supernumerary teeth was erupted at canine space. The second case is still being observed. Extraction of fused teeth and observation of supernumerary teeth is planned.

The authors observed the two cases of Rieger's syndrome in 21-year-old male and 13-year-old female with a chief complaint of Partial anodontia of permanent teeth on both jaws. We had done the laboratory and ophthalmic examinations and had taken radiographs. Final diagnosis was established as Rieger's syndrome. We obtained the results as follows, 1. There was no peculiar hereditary tendency in them. 2. The patients had no disturbance of general physical activity and mentality. 3. The male patient had pseudoprogenathism, concave profile, congenital missing on upper anterior and second premolar teeth, and conical shaped crown of upper len celral incisor. The female patient had also pseudoprognathism, concave profile, thickened upper labial frenum, decreased upper dental arch width, congenital missing on upper anterior teeth, and delayed eruption of second premolars. 4. The ophthalmic symptoms that were ins abnormalities, decreased visual acuity, and increased intraocular pressure were present. 5. The abnormalities except dental and ophthalmic abnormalities were not round.

Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome is a non-inherited rare condition that presents during childhood and is characterized by seizures, hemiplegia, mental retardation, cerebral hemiatrophy, calvarial thickening, and hyperpneumatization of the frontal sinuses. The present article highlights a case of a 12-year-old male child with additional clinical findings of $caf{\acute{e}}$-au-late pigmentation and ocular lipodermoid. This is the first case report of DykeDavidoff-Masson syndrome to describe oral manifestations, such as unilateral delayed eruption of teeth, hypoplasia, and taurodontism, which could be unique and characteristic of this condition. Oral health care providers and physicians should be aware of these oral observations as dental referrals could warrant early dental prophylactic care and can be useful in diagnosing the possible time of injury and type of Dyke-Davidoff-Masson syndrome.

Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD), which is accepted as an autosomal disorder, is a generalized disorder of bone with severe dental abnormalities. Among the most characteristic anomalies seen are hypoplasia of clavicles or aplasia of clavicles, permanant non-ossification of cranial sutures & fontanels, delayed eruption of the permanant dentition & the presence of unerupted supernumerary teeth. CCD may first be noted by dentist because of many dental problems, so we should diagnose the disorder earlier & understand the development of dentition in CCD to ensure timely intervention with proper periodic dental X-ray.

Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) is a rare hereditary disorder characterized by hyperostosis of the craniofacial bones and flared metaphyses of the long bones. Although some reports have described the dentomaxillofacial characteristics of CMD, including increased density of the jaw, malocclusion, and delayed eruption of the permanent teeth, only a few studies have reported the distinct imaging features of CMD on panoramic radiography. This report presents 2 cases of confirmed CMD patients with an emphasis on panoramic imaging features. The patients' images revealed hyperostosis and sclerosis of the maxilla and mandibular alveolar bone, but there was no change in the mandibular basal bone. In both cases, the mandibular condyle heads exhibited a short clubbed shape with hyperplasia of the coronoid process. For patients without clear otorhinolaryngological symptoms, common radiologic features of CMD could be visualized by routinely-taken panoramic radiographs, and further medical examinations and treatment can be recommended.

Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma is a rare benign odontogenic tumor that mainly occurs at mandibular molar area. Radiography usually shows a well-defined radiolucent area containing various amounts of radiopaque material of irregular size and form. In histiologic aspect, Ameloblastic fibro-odontoma composed of connective tissue characteristic of an ameloblastic fibroma and calcined tissue identifying the tumor as a complex odontoma. Thirteen years two months aged boy of this case visited with chief complaint of delayed eruption of mandibular left canine. After enucleation of lesion, biopsy was done and diagnosed by ameloblastic fibro-odontoma. In continous follow-up check, canine erupted normally after operation.

Purpose: An impacted tooth is defined as a tooth that shows delayed eruption and is expected to erupt incompletely by clinical and radiograph examination despite it reaching its expected time of eruption. The aims of this study were to investigate the clinical and radiological characteristics and treatment duration and method of impacted teeth in Korean patients. Materials and Methods: For this study we used clinical records, study models, panoramic radiographs and intraoral photographs of patients who attended Gachon University Gil Hospital Orthodontic Department between 2005 and 2008. There were 164 patients with a total number of 202 impacted teeth. Results: Male patients shows a little more prevalence than female patients (1.13:1). The under 12 age group had the highest prevalence of tooth impaction, and the over 19 age group showed the least prevalence of tooth impaction. The ratio of tooth impaction between the left to right ratio was 1.73:1 and maxilla and mandible was 1.84:1. The impacted teeth were most commonly positioned buccally (76 cases, 41.5%). Full nap closure technique (108 cases, 81.2%)was most frequently used for attachment of surgical traction hooks. Maxillary canine impaction was most commonly encountered both in male and female patients. The mean treatment period was 12.2 months and the success rate of treatment was 90.3%. The canine tooth shows the longest treatment time and highest failure rate. The ankylosis was the major cause of failure. Conclusion: Impacted teeth most commonly show in left side maxilla in the under 12 age group. And it is most commonly positioned buccally. The mean treatment period was 12.2 months, and the success rate of treatment was 90.3%.

The etiology of mesiodens is unknown but the most widely accepted theory is the hyperactivity of the dental lamina. Complications of mesiodens are delayed or prevented eruption of maxillary central incisors, displacement or rotation of permanent teeth, crowding of affected region, abnormal diastema or permanent space closure, dilaceration or abnormal root development of permanent teeth, primordial or follicular cyst formation, root resorption of adjacent teeth, eruption into nasal cavity. If mesiodens rotate the maxillary central incisors, space deficiency is not common and relapse is very common. So overcorrection is needed. To prevent the rotational relapse, early treatment, overcorrection, long retention period, properly formed proximal surface, use of coupled force, and surgical techniques have been suggested. The authors present two cases, whose chief complain were severely rotated maxillary incisors by mesiodens, treated by orthodontic and surgical technique and showed good results.

Preterm infants have higher possibility of undergoing endotracheal intubation after birth than normal children due to medical conditions. Developmental disturbances of primary incisors following intubation can occur as crown malformation, enamel defects, delayed eruption, displacement of dental follicle in crypt, groove formation of palate or alveolar ridge, acquired cleft palate, and dental arch distortion. This clinical report presents the effect of intubation on primary dentition of preterm infants. A 2-year-old girl with cerebral palsy and premature birth history visited our clinic with chief complaint of unerupted primary upper incisor. A 1-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, status epilepticus and premature birth history visited our clinic due to crown malformation. Developmental disturbances of primary incisors in these cases were not related to the patients' systemic disease, and there were no history of dental trauma. A long term endotracheal intubation prior to tooth eruption might have caused local trauma on alveolar ridge. It is very important to monitor dental problems of preterm infants who had experienced endotracheal intubation during neonatal period. Due to influences on both primary and permanent teeth, periodic re-evaluation of affected areas and establishment of comprehensive treatment plans are necessary.
