The aim of the present study was to obtain data on the reliability and reproducibility of two non-destructive dental-age estimation methods in adults by calculating inter- and intra-observer effects. Both a morphological and a radiological technique available in the scientific literature were evaluated on a number of recently extracted teeth: the morphological technique was evaluated on a total...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The aim of present study was to investigate pulp-dentin complex reactions following direct pulp capping (DPC) with calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2] and simvastatin as pulp-capping materials in the primary human molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS 120 primary molar teeth which had to be extracted for orthodontic reasons were randomly allocated into four groups. Group Ι as a control, u...

BACKGROUND Due to the scarcity of exfoliated/extracted human primary teeth with complete roots, artificial teeth were developed as an alternative to be used for educational and laboratory research purposes. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of using artificial primary teeth for conducting laboratory research through an experiment related to canal length determination, comparing artific...

Impaction and eruption disturbance of permanent teeth are frequently encountered in orthodontic practice. The canine play an important role both functionally esthetically. Eruption a maxillary canine, if left untreated, can cause not only disturbed jaw movement esthetic problems, but also root resorption adjacent teeth, thus should be diagnosed treated appropriately. In this report, we present ...

Dentin provides a protective enclosure for genomic and mitochondrial DNA. In the present study, DNA was obtained from pulverized or ground teeth. The quality of the DNA extracted from the teeth of 70 unrelated individuals was tested in the context of assessing the allelic and genotypic frequencies of autosomal loci D19S216, D20S502 and D20S842, and calculating a number of parameters of populati...

Implant treatment is an attractive substitute to the traditional prosthetic appliances. However, diabetes mellitus has long been considered a relative contraindication to dental implant therapy. In this case report, we present the results of an immediate implant placement in fresh extraction sockets of mandibular anterior teeth and the implantation of the edentulous posterior mandibular regions...

This paper reports the management of two clinical cases, in which the upper right central incisor was fused with a supernumerary tooth and the upper left central incisor was macrodontic. A radiographic examination revealed that the fused teeth had two separate roots. Hemisectioning of the fused teeth was performed, the supernumerary portion was extracted and the remaining part was reshaped to r...
