INTRODUCTION In this cephalometric investigation, we analyzed the treatment and posttreatment effects of an orthopedic protocol for Class III malocclusion consisting of a facial mask combined with a removable bite-block appliance. METHODS The treated sample consisted of 22 Class III patients treated with the facial mask and bite-block protocol before the pubertal growth spurt (mean age, 8.9 +...

Definition Denture-related stomatitis indicates an inflammatory process of the mucosa that bears a complete or partial removable dental appliance, typically a denture. Since it was described as “sore mouth under plates”, several terms have been used in the past to define this condition: “chronic denture palatitis”, “stomatitis prothetica”, “denture related candidiasis” “denture-induced stomatit...

in this paper we define the removable cycle that, if $im$ is a class of graphs, $gin im$, the cycle $c$ in $g$ is called removable if $g-e(c)in im$. the removable cycles in eulerian graphs have been studied. we characterize eulerian graphs which contain two edge-disjoint removable cycles, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for eulerian graph to have removable cycles h...

‎in this paper we defined the vertex removable cycle in respect of the following‎, ‎if $f$ is a class of graphs(digraphs)‎ ‎satisfying certain property‎, ‎$g in f $‎, ‎the cycle $c$ in $g$ is called vertex removable if $g-v(c)in in f $.‎ ‎the vertex removable cycles of eulerian graphs are studied‎. ‎we also characterize the edge removable cycles of regular‎ ‎graphs(digraphs).‎

Forced eruption can be performed in teeth with caries, fracture, resorption or perforation in the cervical third of the root or isolated teeth with one- or two-walled vertical periodontal defects. The purpose of this case report is to introduce an innovative orthodontic appliance which enables forced eruption. This appliance is easy to fabricate, cost-effective and very effective in forced erup...
