Objective This study aimed to explore the usefulness of adjunctive buccal and palatal corticotomy for adult maxillary expansion in an animal model using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods Twelve adult sheep were randomly divided into two groups (each n = 6): a control group, where no treatment was administered, and a treatment group, where buccal and palatal corticotomy-assisted ma...

OBJECTIVES To quantify the treatment outcome of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) in individuals with unilateral cleft lip and palate using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to reveal needs for improvement in surgical technique. MATERIAL AND METHODS CBCT images taken 6 months after SABG of 35 patients were analysed. Vertical and horizontal bone supports of the grafted bone at thr...

The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors for apical root resorption in adult orthodontic patients. Standardized periapical radiographs of maxillary anterior teeth and cephalograms made before and after treatment and treatment charts of 343 adults, representing groups of consecutively treated patients from four orthodontic practices, were examined. Apical root resorption was calcul...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional characteristics mesiodens using Cone-beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) and analyze factors affecting complications anesthetic methods extraction. This evaluated 602 452 patients who underwent extraction at department Pediatric Dentistry in Seoul National University Dental Hospital between 2017 2019. ratio over total patient per yea...

This study evaluated the anatomical relationship between posterior teeth root apices and maxillary sinus floor (MSF) on 202 cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams. The distance between the root apices and the MSF, as well as the MSF thickness of the cortical bone closest to root apices and furcation regions were measured. The vertical and horizontal relationships of the MSF with the molar r...

AIM The aim of this clinical article is to describe the unusual anatomy that was detected in a maxillary first molar during routine endodontic treatment. BACKGROUND Variation in Root and Root canal morphology especially in multirooted teeth presents a constant challenge for a clinician in their detection and management. The literature is replete with cases that have extra canal or Root but ca...

introduction : the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the effect of gates-glidden and peeso reamer drills on residual dentin thickness during post space preparation in order to discover which method has minimum root structure damage. materials and methods: thirty extracted human maxillary premolars with bifurcations at root middle were horizontally cut 15 mm coronal to the apical end aft...

BACKGROUND Forensic odontology plays important role in identification of human remains in mass disasters such as air crash, tsunami, and accidents. Palatal rugae act as an ideal requisite for human identification as they are present in all victims and are resistant to changes such as aging and trauma. The study aimed to analyze differences in shape and number of palatal rugae in population from...

Root fractures can involve the dentin, cementum, and pulp commonly occur as oblique with varying orientations. The aim of this study was to demonstrate maintenance health in a tooth fractured root without any endodontic treatment discuss advantage cone-bean computed tomography (CBCT) compared traditional radiographs diagnosis fractures. Intra-oral radiography 11 revealed horizontal fracture at ...
