OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine radiographically changes in the periapical status and compare the clinical status of teeth with a vital pulp and root-filled teeth restored with crowns and bridge retainers during 25 years. METHODS During 1967/68, 114 patients received prosthodontic treatment by senior dental students at the Oslo Dental Faculty. In all, 291 teeth with a vita...

  Objective: Selection of an appropriate shade of composite is critical in achieving an esthetic restoration. Different systems are used to assess and describe color parameters. This study aimed to assess the effect of color and thickness of Filtek Supreme (FS) and Premise (P) composite resins on correction of tooth discoloration.   Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 10 anterior teet...

Panoramic radiographs from 1026 patients were examined for the presence of completely impacted teeth. The prevalence of completely impacted teeth in the edentulous jaw was lower than that in the dentate jaw in both the upper and lower jaws. The prevalence of completely impacted third molars in the edentulous jaw was also lower than that in the dentate jaw. However, there was no difference in th...

In this study, the number and location of remaining teeth were analyzed according to sociodemographic variables, anthropometric measurements, and oral health behavior patterns. The hypothesis was that the number and location of remaining teeth would be affected by oral health behavior and by sociodemographic factors, such as education levels, household income, and urban/rural residency.This nat...

A sixteen year sample of supernumerary teeth has been reviewed in order to analyse epidemiological data, morphological and topographic features of these teeth, especially of those located in the praemaxillary region. MATERIALS AND METHODS All cases in which supernumerar...
