Introdouction: Variations in root canal morphology pose a challenge for successful endodontic treatment. The root canal anatomy of the maxillary first molar has been often described as three roots with four canals (two mesiobuccal, one distobuccal, and one palatal). The occurrence of two palatal canals in one palatal root is quite rare. This report represents the case of a maxillary first molar...

Introduction: Knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients.   Materials and Methods: Thirty five Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)...

Cementoblastomas are rare benign odontogenic tumors. Diagnosis of these lesions must be made by an association of clinical, radiographic, and histopathological findings. Cementoblastomas rarely occur in both primary and permanent dentitions. We describe the sixth case of cementoblastoma in the literature with the involvement of both deciduous and permanent teeth. The aim of this case report is ...

We study joint distributions of cycles and patterns in permutations written in standard cycle form. We explore both classical and generalised patterns of length 2 and 3. Many extensions of classical theory are achieved; bivariate generating functions for inversions, ascents, descents, 123s, valleys, 1’-2-1s; closed forms for avoidance of peaks, 2-3-1s, 1-2-3s, 2’-1-2s and 1’-2-1s; bijective pro...

Background and aim Given the importance of evaluating the maxillary sinus lateral wall thickness (LWT) to avoid complications during surgery, the aim of this study was to examine LWT as well as the effect of residual ridge height (RH), edentulous region, type of edentulism, age and gender on it. Methods In this cross-sectional study conducted in 2016, 150 samples of the CBCT imaging archives ...

The purpose of this clinical report was to introduce a simple and effective way of performing ectopic eruption treatment utilizing a triangular wedging spring. This consists of 3 helical loops in a triangular shape with 0.018-inch Australian wire. The middle helical loop is made for wedging spring action, while the other 2 helical loops are action arms inserted between the second primary molar ...

Odontogenic infections lead to life-threatening complications once they reach potential fascial spaces due to decreased immunity in pregnancy. It may also occur due to patient negligence, delayed diagnosis and mismanagemnet. Infratemporal space infection is a rare but a serious sequel of odontogenic infection. We report the case of a 20 year old, four months pregnant patient with carious left m...

The case of an immature natal maxillary first primary molar is reported. Natal molars are rare occurrences, the present instance being only the eighteenth reported case. Clinical and histologic examination revealed that the tooth was rootless, incompletely mineralized, and acutely inflamed. Subsequent radiographs showed that the tooth was actually the primary first molar.

The purpose of this study was to examine accountability systems operating in youth volleyball training sessions and to understand how those systems vary according to the instructional tasks and the nature of the information provided by coaches. Additionally, the interactive effect of the players' age group on accountability systems and instructional tasks will be inspected. Twenty-eight youth v...
