The association between radiographic evidence of mandibular asymmetry and history of prepubertal trauma was analyzed in orthognathic surgery patients and orthodontic patients. There were statistically significant associations between radiographic evidence of mandibular asymmetry and a history of prepubertal trauma in both patient groups. The results suggest that prepubertal trauma could be one ...

The root canal anatomy of mandibular incisors can present a number of variations, including multiple canals. Two case reports are presented to illustrate the serendipitous discovery and successful non-surgical endodontic management of complex canal systems in mandibular incisors. In both cases, all four mandibular incisors had two canals each.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the duration of mandibular-crowding alleviation with self-ligating brackets compared with conventional appliances and the accompanying dental effects. METHODS Fifty-four subjects were selected from a pool of patients satisfying the following inclusion criteria: nonextraction treatment in the mandibular or maxillary arches; eruption of all ...

BACKGROUND Different attachment systems for mandibular two-implant overdentures could influence levels of patient satisfaction. Positive consensus of the majority of patients being satisfied does not preclude the possibility of dissatisfaction for some. PURPOSE To evaluate patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction before and after 5 years of wearing mandibular two implant overdentures using di...

Objective: To assess the reliability of fi ve intra oral periapical radiography (IOPAR) radiographic signs, and to compare the reliability of IOPAR with that of cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) for determining the proximity of impacted mandibular third molar and mandibular canal. Methods: The present study consisted of 50 subjects, in age group of 18-30 years with impacted mandibular th...

a mandibular first molar requiring root canal therapy was found with five canals, three mesial canals, and two distal canals. initially, four canals (mesiobuccal, mesiolingual, distobuccal, and distolingual) were identified. the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals were found in their normal locations, and a fifth canal was noted between these two. this case demonstrates a rare anatomical config...

we report an unusual case of primary hydatid cyst of the mandibular angle without glands involvement, in the left supraclavicular region of the neck with no involvement of any other regions of the body. in july2012, a25-yr old woman, from golestan province, northeast iran was admitted to ourentclinic, with one-year history of a progressively increasing swelling, pain and gradually growing mass ...

A case of Herpes zoster of the mandibular nerve in an 80 year old man is reported. Herpes zoster infection affecting only the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve is rare. It is proposed that the distribution of lesions is a consequence of a unique latent site of the virus within neurons of the gasserian ganglion innervating the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve.

Intraosseous mandibular lipoma (IML) is a rare benign tumour and is infrequentlyassociated with unerupted teeth. This report describes an IML associated with anunerupted impacted mandibular wisdom tooth.
