This study evaluated the short-term response of human pulp tissue when directly capped with Portland cement. In this series of cases, twenty human third molars that were scheduled for extraction were used. After cavity preparation, pulp exposure was achieved and Portland cement pulp capping was performed. Teeth were extracted after 1, 7, 14 and 21 days following treatment and prepared for histo...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate relationship between root trunk types (RTT) and periodontal attachment loss (PAL) on molars affected with Class III furcation involvement (FI). extracted teeth (169) maxillary (103) mandibular (66) in individuals severe advanced periodontitis were diagnosed as FI alveolar bone ≧70%. clinical records include patient’s age, gender, degree FIs ve...

Ten million third molars (wisdom teeth) are extracted from approximately 5 million people in the United States each year at an annual cost of over $3 billion. In addition, more than 11 million patient days of “standard discomfort or disability”— pain, swelling, bruising, and malaise—result postoperatively, and more than 11000 people suffer permanent paresthesia— numbness of the lip, tongue, and...

PURPOSE To determine the bond strengths promoted by an adhesive system to human, bovine, and porcine enamel and dentin, and compare their etched micromorphology by scanning electron microscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty sound freshly extracted teeth were used in this study: ten human third molars, ten bovine incisors, and ten porcine molars. The crowns of human (H), bovine (B), and porcine...

UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to compare, clinically and radiographically, the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) to formocresol (FC) when used as medicaments in pulpotomized vital human primary molars. METHODS The sample consisted of 120 primary molars, all teeth were treated with the same conventional pulpotomy technique. Sixty molars received FC and 60 received MTA throughout a...

Dentinogenesis imperfecta type II (DI-II) is the most common dental genetic disease with reported incidence 1 in 8000. Elasticity and hardness of the enamel of teeth are important values which are connected with their resistance to attrition. It is hypothesized that values of physical properties for healthy teeth and teeth with DI-II are different. The aim of the study was to investigate some p...

INTRODUCTION Third molar extraction is the most frequent procedure in oral surgery. The present study evaluates the indication of third molar extraction as established by the primary care dentist (PCD) and the oral surgeon, and compares the justification for extraction with the principal reason for patient consultation. PATIENTS AND METHOD A descriptive study was made of 319 patients subjecte...

Aim: The purpose of the present research was to assess role piezo-surgical and its effectiveness against conventional techniques for removal impacted mandibular third molar. Methodology: Study included 16 patients (8 male 8 female) age 17 32 years treated in period from 2019 2021. All had both molars impacted. One molar extracted using classical technique while other one a piezo device. Preoper...

PURPOSE The aim was to understand dental students' experiences with oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) teaching, their confidence levels in performing routine dento-alveolar operations, and the relationship between the students' confidence level and the number of teeth extracted during the clinical practice. METHODS The survey questionnaire was distributed to 32 students at Aljouf Universit...
