Coronal cementum in the horse molar teeth.

Coronal displacement of cementum: correlation between age and coronal movement of cementum in impacted teeth.

This study was conducted on 48 impacted and 51 erupted maxillary permanent canine teeth extracted from healthy patients aged 13-73 years. Longitudinal buccolingual ground sections were prepared. The distance between the edges of cementum and enamel in each specimen was measured with an eyepiece micrometer. A correlation test was applied between age and the distance between enamel and cementum m...

Coronal Displacement of Cementum in Impacted Teeth: Age Determination

Dental cementum is a vital tissue which demonstrates continuous apposition throughout the life of the tooth. This study was conduct on 101 impacted and 106 erupted mandibular third molar teeth extracted from healthy patients, aged 18-30 years. The buccolingual ground sections were prepared. The distance between the edges of enamel and cementum were measured with micrometer attached with light m...

Preeruptive idiopathic coronal resorption of permanent teeth in children.

Crown resorption of unerupted teeth in children has been reported in the dental literature (1). Such resorption may be similar to tooth resorption in adult teeth that have been embedded for long periods of time (2), but should be differentiated from external tooth resorption following trauma, infection, or excessive mechanical forces (3) and from internal tooth resorption originating from the d...
