INTRODUCTION Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a rare inherited skeletal dysplasia, often with prolonged retention of deciduous teeth and several impacted permanent successors and supernumerary elements. METHODS This article demonstrates the usefulness of titanium screws for orthodontic anchorage to induce eruption of the impacted teeth in a patient with CCD. A boy, aged 10 years 11 months, ha...

The present investigation was undertaken to clinically and radiograplu’caily observe human p~mary teeth after pulpotomy using one-fifth dilution of formocresol. Seventyseven teeth of 59 ctuTdren, average age seven years, were treated. Seventy teeth were available for follow-up over a peHod varying from 4 to 36 months. The degree of root resorption was evaiuated comparing pairs of treated and ho...

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of radiotherapy on bond efficiency of two different adhesive systems using tensile bond strength test. Twenty extracted teeth after radiotherapy and twenty nonirradiated extracted teeth were used. The irradiation was applied in vivo to a minimal dose of 50 Gy. The specimens of each group were randomly assigned to two subgroups to test two different...

PURPOSE The effects of magnetostrictive and piezoelectric devices on tooth surfaces seem to differ with regard to the root surface roughness they produce. This study aimed to compare the results of scaling using magnetostrictive and piezoelectric devices on extracted teeth. METHODS Forty-four human extracted teeth were assigned to four study groups (n=11). In two groups (C100 and C200), the t...
