Article Abstract
The adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is a rare benign neoplasm that is typically treated through surgical enucleation and curettage. Any impacted tooth associated with the tumor are also extracted during the procedure. We present a case of AOT encompassing an impacted left maxillary central incisor in a 13-year-old male. The patient underwent routine treatment, but the tooth was orthodontically extruded using traction. Within two years, the incisor successfully attained its functional position in the arch, without any signs of recurrence. Preserving an impacted tooth associated with AOT is not common, and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. It is important to manage AOT conservatively and to save the associated tooth for both functional and aesthetic purposes. Long-term follow-up is crucial to monitor any potential recurrence. In summary, our case highlights the successful orthodontic management and preservation of an impacted tooth in a teenager with AOT.

Autogenous Transplantation of an Immature Undersized Third Molar to Rehabilitate a Cyst-Associated Lateral Incisor Defect: A 3-Year Case Report.

Severe periapical cysts frequently result in tooth loss with concomitant severe alveolar bone destruction, precluding immediate implant placement. Autogenous tooth transplantation (ATT), which involves transplanting the patient's own tooth to the recipient site, offers a biological approach to reconstruct both the dentition and supporting bone structures. This report presents a 25-year-old female with a mobile, discolored maxillary right lateral incisor (#12) exhibiting grade 3 mobility due to a large periapical cyst (extending to #14 on CBCT) with root developmental arrest, secondary to Oehlers type II dens invaginatus.

In Alberta, a provincial daily oral hygiene policy (OHP) for Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCF) was approved in 2018, and a mouth care training program (MCTP) was implemented in 2015. These initiatives require LTCFs to provide residents with twice-daily oral hygiene assistance and staff training. This study aimed to evaluate the provincial implementation scope, compliance rates, perceived impact on residents, and areas for improvement.

Background: Odontomas are odontogenic tumors located in the jawbone, referred to by the World Health Organization (WHO) as hamartomatous (Greek hamartion - a bodily defect) developmental malformations. The term was first used by Brock in 1866 to refer to every odontogenic tumor. Today an odontoma is believed to be a congenital malformation of dental hard tissues.

In dental practice, impacted canines are common clinical conditions that compromise tooth mobility, thereby severely affecting functionality and esthetics. They also represent a significant challenge, particularly when associated with odontogenic pathologies such as dentigerous cysts and odontomas. These entities, despite benign, can cause complications, including tooth displacement, root resorption, and alterations in normal eruption, compromising both esthetics and function.

Background: Surgical removal of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth may be associated with postoperative complications such as infection, bleeding, edema, pain, ecchymosis and trismus. It seems that the number of sutures and the duration of surgery for impacted wisdom teeth are among the factors affecting the aforementioned complications.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare single-suture versus multiple-suture techniques regarding postoperative pain, trismus, edema, ecchymosis, and operating time in surgical removal of impacted mandibular wisdom teeth by envelope flap surgery.
