PURPOSE Direct intraoral scanning and superimposing methods have recently been applied to measure the dimensions of periodontal tissues. The aim this study was analyze various correlations between labial gingival thickness underlying alveolar bone thickness, as well clinical parameters among 3 tooth types (central incisors, lateral canines) using a digital method. METHODS In 20 periodontally he...

AIM To analyze the interrelationship between incisor width, deviations in the dentition and available space in the dental arch in palatally and labially located maxillary ectopic canine cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Size: On dental casts from 69 patients (mean age 13 years 6 months) the mesiodistal widths of each premolar, canine and incisor were measured and compared with normal standards. De...

BACKGROUND Palatal canines are upper permanent canine (eye) teeth that have become displaced in the roof of the mouth. They are a frequently occurring anomaly, present in 2% to 3% of the population. Management of this problem is both time consuming and expensive and involves surgical exposure (uncovering) followed by fixed braces for 2 to 3 years to bring the canine into alignment within the de...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect interceptive primary canine extraction in palatally and buccally displaced maxillary permanent canines, analyze clinical radiographic factors affecting treatment outcome. 97 canines from 86 patients whose were mesio-occlusal directions overlapped with roots adjacent teeth analyzed. In 64 (66.0%) crown completely deviated lateral incisor root ...

INTRODUCTION The Moyers' probability tables are used in mixed dentition analysis to estimate the extent of space required for the alignment of canines and premolars, by correlating the mesiodistal size of lower incisors with the size of permanent canines and premolars. OBJECTIVE This study intended to evaluate the applicability of the Moyer's probability tables for predicting the mesiodistal ...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to determine whether variations in the mesiodistal dimensions of mandibular canines had any role in sex determination. materials and methods. the study comprised of patients in the 19‒24-year age group (20 males and 20 females). mesiodistal dimensions of mandibular canines was measured at the maximum mesiodistal width, first intraorally, then on pl...

Canines continue to be one of the most frequently deployed tool in detection explosives, and particularly homemade explosives (HMEs), part, due ease training new HME materials as threats arise. The majority HMEs encountered contain ammonium nitrate (AN), previous research has measured release ammonia from AN, found that vapor concentration varies with form, purity, environment, but this is not ...

This case report describes the treatment of a 36-year-old patient who presented a skeletal and dental Class III malocclusion and missing upper canines. The patient was treated with orthosurgical maxillary advancement (Le Fort 1) and occlusal adjustment of the first premolars, which replaced the canines. This case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO),...

The purpose of this paper is to present the first case of unusual reverse oblique (110 degrees to midsagittal plane) migration of mandibular right canine crossing the jaw midline and piercing the lower border of the mandible at the level of the opposite canine and also to report two more cases of transmigrated mandibular canine and one case of transmigrating mandibular canine. Mandibular canine...

Background: The radiographic method for deter­mining the estimated age has advantage of being non-invasive and orthopantomogram images are digitally processed. Canines have a strong corre­la­tion with chronological good resistance large pulp space. This study aimed to determine difference in estimates using Kvaal on right left mandibular canines. Subjects Method: There were 80 ortho­pantomogram...
