The purpose of this study was to investigate the determinability of the distance between the pulp horns (PHD) radiographically under routine clinical conditions. This study was carried out on 36 maxillary and 28 mandibular first and second molars which were extracted because of periodontal diseases. Prior to extraction two radiographs were taken from each tooth, one using the bisecting-angle te...

Conebeam computed tomography (CBCT) is a technology new to dentistry that provides 3-D imaging of the oral and maxillofacial complex. Bitewing, periapical, and panoramic images are commonplace for diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry. The 3-D data provided by conebeam technology uses a low quantity of radiation and provides insight into anatomy as an adjunct to 2-D imaging. As 3-D imag...

abstract introductiion. there are a lot of edentulous patients who need complete dentures in any society. one of the most important problems of edentulous patients is remaining dental lesions. atrophy of maxillary or mandibular bone, infections abcesses, tumors and so on are among some other problems. in this study we tried to evaluate the panoramic radiography in order to detect these problems...

BACKGROUND: Ionizing radiation is a consistently identified and potentially modifiable risk factor for meningioma, which is the most frequently reported primary brain tumor in the United States. The objective of this study was to examine the association between dental x-rays—the most common artificial source of ionizing radiation—and the risk of intracranial meningioma. METHODS: This population...

Aim. To estimate the prevalence of coronal pulp stones in the molar teeth of dental outpatients of Sunam, Sangrur district, Punjab, India, to report any association between occurrence of pulp stones with age, gender, dental arch, side, and dental status and to find out correlation between pulp stones with dental and systemic diseases. Materials and Methods. 500 routine dental outpatients within...

OBJECTIVES To establish a normal range for the radiographic distance between cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest and the factors affecting distances for the early assessment of periodontal disease in Dravidian pediatric population. METHODS Fifty children aged 6 to 8 years were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clinical and radiographic examination was performed. A...
