Introduction In addition to periodontal disease and chronic gingivostomatitis, tooth resorption (previously termed feline odontoclastic resorptive lesions, FORL) are among the most common and frustrating diagnostic findings in feline dentistry. Reported prevalence rates of tooth resorption range from about 30 to 70 %, depending on the composition of the population examined and on the diagnostic...

Erupting teeth are some of the oldest witnesses of developmental processes in the vertebrate fossil record and provide an important resource for vertebrate cladistics. Here, we have examined a mosasaur jaw fragment from central Texas using ultrathin ground section histology and 3D tomographic imaging to assess features critical for the cladistic placement of mosasaurs among varanoids vs. snakes...

Introduction Load-carrying capacity of gears, especially the surface durability, is influenced by their tooth surface roughness in addition to their tooth profiles and tooth traces (Refs. 1 and 2). The harder the gears are, the smoother their tooth surfaces and the more accurately their tooth profiles should be finished in order to obtain high load-carrying capacity. Through research, the relat...

Background  Wisdom teeth are usually removed as a routine procedure for therapeutic or prophylactic reasons. Developing wisdom teeth are easy accessible source of stem cells during the adulthood which could be obtained. Methods  Search of the PubMed for stem cells and tooth was done. An inclusion criterion was extract of stem cells from wisdom tooth. Results  Stem cells can be obtained fro...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The conservation of sound tooth structure helps preserve tooth vitality and reduce postoperative sensitivity. Innovative preparation designs, like those for porcelain laminate veneers, are much less invasive than conventional complete-coverage crown preparations. However, no study has quantified the amount of tooth structure removed during these preparations. PURPOSE The ...

Introdouction:Tooth eruption is recognized as an important aspect of human growth and development. It can be influenced by a number of factors, and it may reflect the general development of a child’s body. The purpose of this study was to determine the age at which the first primary tooth erupted and its relationship with height, weight and head circumference in 3-15-month children in the...

tooth avulsion is defined as the complete displacement of the tooth out of its alveolar socket. the treatment of choice is immediate replantation or if that is not possible, placement of the tooth in an appropriate storage media. this report presents replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor after 12 hours of storage in milk. the tooth was replanted and splinted. one week later, it w...

Background A sizable increase in the outbreak of tooth attrition and especially dental erosion has been observed. Detection of tooth wear, proper prevention, and effective intervention in the early stage will avoid the adverse effect on teeth performance and elegance. Thus, the current study aimed to determine the level of awareness of senior dental students (general dentists) about the preval...
