The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most common congenitally absent tooth. There are several treatment options for replacing the missing maxillary lateral incisor, including canine substitution, tooth-supported restoration, or single-tooth implant. Dental implants are an appropriate treatment option for replacing missing maxillary lateral incisor teeth in adolescents when their dental a...

This article describes the treatment of a girl in whom anterior trauma during the deciduous dentition had caused a dilacerated maxillary central incisor in the mixed dentition. The dilacerated central incisor was extracted, and a canine was transposed to the extraction site. Canine transposition was performed so that the lateral incisor could be maintained in its normal position. This article d...

Transposition may affect both sexes equally and, although it may occur in the maxilla or in the mandible, the frequency of maxillary permanent canine involvement is the greatest [3]. In the maxilla the canine is transposed most frequently with the first premolar (Figure 1a,b), less often with the lateral incisor followed rarely by central incisor or second premolar In the mandible transposition...

this paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. although srm possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. in this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. by using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the dc...

Purpose: To establish a new coordinate system using the incisive canal and incisive foramen in cases confirmed to have root resorption in the maxillary incisor region by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to investigate the positions of the central and lateral incisor roots and erupting maxillary canine tooth crowns in the horizontal plane. Methods: Nine patients (two males; mean age: 10.5 ye...

A particle, shaped as an ellipsoid of revolution and rotating about an arbitrary axis, experiences a torque in a rarefied monatomic gas because of the impact with the gas atoms. This torque is calculated for the case where the linear dimensions of the ellipsoid are small compared with the mean free path of the gas. The interaction of the gas atoms with the ellipsoidal surface is taken into acco...

INTRODUCTION The purposes of this study were to determine the incidence of open gingival embrasures after a single mandibular incisor extraction and to investigate whether age, sex, interproximal pretreatment and posttreatment contact location, or the type of mandibular incisor were predictors of the incidence and magnitude of open gingival embrasures. METHODS Pretreatment and posttreatment i...

The purpose of this study was to determine the severity of gingival margin discrepancy affecting the mandibular incisors in children with a single-tooth anterior crossbite. The response of the position of the gingival margin to correction of the crossbite also was investigated. Twenty-two subjects with a single central crossbite and 16 subjects with a single lateral crossbite were identified fr...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of the torque wrenches used in different dental implant systems. Methods: We evaluated 42 torque wrenches used in different dental clinics in Mashhad, Iran, using a digital torque meter (Mark 10). High (25, 30 and 35 N·cm) and low (15 N·cm) levels of torque were examined. Ten tests were performed on each wrench, and the mean va...
