Amplified Brain Processing of Dentoalveolar Pressure Stimulus in Persistent Dentoalveolar Pain Disorder Patients

Effects of Kamishoyosan, a Traditional Japanese Kampo Medicine, on Pain Conditions in Patients with Intractable Persistent Dentoalveolar Pain Disorder

There are patients who suffer from persistent dentoalveolar pain disorder (PDAP) which is a pain of the teeth, either dentoalveolar pain or nonodontogenic toothache, and its cause has not yet been identified. An effective intervention for PDAP has not yet been established. Interventions for patients with PDAP are generally pharmacological treatments such as antidepressants, anticonvulsants, and...

Skeletal and Dentoalveolar Features in Patients with Deep Overbite Malocclusion

OBJECTIVE An increased overbite may be due to a skeletal or dental etiology that may influence treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the skeletal and dentoalveolar features in patients with deep bite malocclusion in an Iranian population and to determine the most and least effective and contributory variables causing deep bite. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lateral cephalograms and stu...

Imaging an Adapted Dentoalveolar Complex

Adaptation of a rat dentoalveolar complex was illustrated using various imaging modalities. Micro-X-ray computed tomography for 3D modeling, combined with complementary techniques, including image processing, scanning electron microscopy, fluorochrome labeling, conventional histology (H&E, TRAP), and immunohistochemistry (RANKL, OPN) elucidated the dynamic nature of bone, the periodontal ligame...

Incisal Wear and Dentoalveolar Extrusion

June 2009—Volume 30, Number 5 Numerous, complex problems influence anterior dental esthetics. The most common include tooth-size discrepancies caused by various factors, such as small lateral incisors, excessive incisal wear of anterior teeth with accompanying dentoalveolar extrusion, chemical erosion of enamel (eg, bulimia), congenitally missing teeth (eg, oligodontia), damaged or missing teet...
