The form and size of the human mandible is subject to considerable variation from the accepted normal. One of the more interesting and rewarding aspects of oral surgery is the operative correction of the Mandibular abnormalities, the category of malformation into which the mandibular deformity falls. In this study we reviewed more than 30 articles to clarify the mandibular prognathism with its ...

human mandibular premolars have earned the reputation for having an extremely complex root and root canal morphology. the incidence of multiple roots and canals in mandibular second premolars is lower than those in mandibular first premolars. mandibular second premolars with three root canals and separate foramina are very rare. in this case report, endodontic management of a three-rooted mandi...

AIM To evaluate the root canal configuration of permanent mandibular first and second molar teeth in a Chinese subpopulation using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODOLOGY Patients who required CBCT radiographic examinations as part of their routine examination, diagnosis and treatment planning, were enrolled. Cases where the anatomy was compromised by physiological or pathological p...

ÖZET Bifid mandibular condyle (BMC) is a rare condition that is frequently diagnosed as an incidental finding in a panoramic radiograph, yet usually with no significant complaints or clinical features, such as pain or restricted movements. In this case report, bilateral bifid mandibular condyle in a 61-year old woman who referred to Marmara University, Department of Oral Diagnosis and Radiology...

INTRODUCTION In this prospective longitudinal study, we compared the prevalence of mandibular second molar eruption difficulties in patients treated with appliances to maintain mandibular arch perimeter. Other independent variables (age, molar angulation, space-width ratio, treatment time, and sex) were tested for their value as predictors of eruption difficulty. METHODS Three hundred one pat...

The mandibular foramen is an important anatomical land mark. For procedures like inferior alveolar nerve block, implant treatment and mandibular osteotomies, a thorough knowledge of the location of the mandibular foramen (MF) and accessory mandibular foramina (AMFs) is a prerequisite. There are few references in the literature regarding the exact anatomical location of the mandibular foramen. T...

Purpose. Supernumerary roots in permanent mandibular molar teeth make endodontic treatment more complicated. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Radix Entomolaris (RE) in permanent mandibular first and second molars in the population of Kerman, in the southeast of Iran. Materials and Methods. From a collection of 500 mandibular first and second molar teeth extracted over 20...

Mandibular force profiles apply the principles of beam theory to identify mandibular biomechanical properties that reflect the bite force and feeding strategies of extant and extinct predators. While this method uses the external dimensions of the mandibular corpus to determine its biomechanical properties, more accurate results could potentially be obtained by quantifying its internal cortical...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we measured the cortical bone thickness in the mandibular buccal and lingual areas using computed tomography in order to evaluate the suitability of these areas for application of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and to suggest a clinical guide for TADs. METHODS The buccal and lingual cortical bone thickness was measured in 15 men and 15 women. Bone thickness was me...

Temporomandibular joint dislocation refers to the dislodgement of mandibular condyle from the glenoid fossa. Anterior and anteromedial dislocations of the mandibular condyle are frequently reported in the literature, but superolateral dislocation is a rare presentation. This report outlines a case of superolateral dislocation of an intact mandibular condyle that occurred in conjunction with an ...
