“…Rani Hamsa et al 36 in study that included males and females, children and adolescents at the age 8-23 years found that there is no difference between males and females in stages A, B, E, F, G and H. However, in stages C (p<0.05) and D (p<0.01), they reported that mineralization is occurring earlier in females than in males. On the other hand Golovencu et al 26 estimated that in subjects from Romanian population aged 11-25 years, no significant differences exists between the development of wisdom teeth in both sides of the jaws. The root calcification started at 15.1 years and was completed by 19.3-20 years 37 .…”

Background/Aim. Persons identification and their age assessment is necessary in vast number of cases and there are different methods used for such purposes. Numerous studies indicate that the third molar development could play a crucial role in identifying an individual`s age. The aim of this study was to determine the possibility for estimating the chronological age based on the third molars development stages in children and young adults in Serbian population. Methods. A total of 570 Serbian patients aged 6-27 years were chosen for this study. Out of the total number of subjects, there were 248 males with an average age of 12.21±3.91 years, and 332 females with an average age of 12.88±4.06 years. Stages of dental formation were determined on Orthopantomograms by comparing with standard Demirjian radiographic appearances. Results. Third molars mineralization occurs more rapidly in males than in females. Large percentage of persons with third molar (stage H development according to Demirjian) is older than 18 years of age. Conclusion. Тhird molar mineralization stages determination on orthopantomograms is useful additional method for determination of chronological age in living individual. That might be important for forensic studies, focusing on the determination of the legally important ages.The variability among different ethnic groups has to be taken into consideration when applying this method. It is necessary to carry out extensive surveys on a larger sample in order to determine the norms for assessing the dental and chronological age within Serbian population. ApstraktUvod/Cilj. Identifikacija osoba i procena njihove starosti su neоphodni u velikom broju slučajeva i postoje različite metode koje se koriste u takve svrhe. Brojne studije ukazuju na to da razvoj trećeg molara može igrati ključnu ulogu u određivanju starosti osobe. Cilj ove studije je bio da se ispita mogućnost procene hronološke starosti na osnovu stadijuma razvoja trećeg molara kod dece i mladih u srpskoj populaciji. Metode. Za ovu studiju odabrano je ukupno 570 pacijenata iz Srbije uzrasta 6-27 godina. Od ukupnog broja ispitanika, 248 osoba je muškog pola prosečne starosti 12.21±3.91 godina, dok je 332 osobe ženskog pola prosečne starosti 12.88±4.06 godina. Stadijumi dentalne zrelosti odrеđeni su na ortopantomogramima poređenjem sa standardima po Demirjianu. Rezultaiti. Mineralizacija trećeg molara odvija se brže kod muškaraca nego kod žena. Veliki procenat osoba sa formiranim trećim molarima (stadijum razvoja X prema Demirjianu) je stariji od 18 godina. Zaključak. Određivanje stadijuma mineralizacije trećeg molara na ortopantomogramima prеdstavlja korisnu metodu za određivanje hronološke starosti živih osoba. Ovo može biti značajno za forenzička istraživanja, posebno zbog pravnog aspekta utvrđivanja da li je osoba punoletna. Varijacije između različitih etničkih grupa moraju se uzeti u obzir kada se primenjuje ova metoda. Neophodno je sprovesti obimna istraživanja kako bi se odredili standardi za procenu dentalne i hronološke starosti pri...

“…1 The order of decreasing frequency of agenesis is third molar, mandibular second premolar, and maxillary lateral incisor, suggesting that it is the most distal tooth in each group that disappears. 2,3 Ageneses do not appear in isolation, 4 they are usually associated morphology, and its varying presence or absence in the oral cavity. 7 Variations in tooth morphology are associated with tooth agenesis, including reduced mesiodistal crown diameter and conical or tapered crowns.…”

Introduction: Teeth eruption is important for the development of alveolar process which increases vertical height of the face and third molar is the last tooth to erupt in the oral cavity after birth. The aim of this study was to determine relationship between skeletal malocclusion and dental anomalies in Nepalese population. Materials & Method: A sample of 170 patients with agenesis of at least one third molar was divided into four groups according to the third-molar agenesis pattern. Panoramic radiographs, lateral cephalograph and cast models were used to determine the skeletal malocclusion and associated dental anomalies. The Pearson chi-square test was used for stastical analysis. Result: Among 170 patients more than half of the patients were female with the average age being 18.15 ± 3.64 years. Majority of the patients had Class I skeletal malocclusion followed by Class II and III but on group wise comparison of patients with different skeletal patterns Class I skeletal malocclusion had highest prevalence of dental anomalies followed by Class III and Class II malocclusion. Conclusion: Prevalence of third-molar agenesis was more in skeletal class I malocclusion followed by class II and III but skeletal Class I malocclusions had more dental anomalies followed by class III and class II malocclusion.

Cleft lip and palate is the most common congenital deformity affecting craniofacial structures. Orofacial clefts have great impact on the quality of life which includes aesthetics, function, psychological impact, dental development and facial growth. Incomplete fusion of facial prominences during the fourth to tenth week of gestation is the main cause. Cleft gaps are closed with alveolar bone grafts in surgical procedure called osteoplasty. Autogenic bone is taken from the iliac crest as the gold standard. The time of grafting can be divided into two stages: primary and secondary. The alveolar defect is usually reconstructured between 7 and 11 years and is often related to the development of the maxillary canine root. After successful osteoplasty, cleft defect is closed but there is still a lack of tooth. The space closure with orthodontic treatment has 50-75% success. If the orthodontic treatment is not possible, in order to replace the missing tooth there are three possibilities: adhesive bridgework, tooth transplantation and implants. Dental implant has the role of holding dental prosthesis, prevents pronounced bone atrophy and loads the augmentation material in the cleft area. Despite the fact that autologous bone from iliac crest is the gold standard, it is not a perfect source for reconstruction of the alveolar cleft. Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) is appropriate as an alternative graft material. The purpose of this review is to explain morphology of cleft defects, historical perspective, surgical techniques and possibilities of implant and prosthodontic rehabilitation.
