AIM The study aimed to investigate the proximity of maxillary posterior teeth roots to maxillary sinus and measure the distance of maxillary posterior teeth roots and the sinus floor as well as the thickness of bone between the roots and alveolar cortical bone using Denta scan®. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study samples include Denta scan® images of fifty patients with normally erupted bilatera...

cents has always relied on growth modification. The majority of treatment modalities, such as functional appliances, are directed at stopping or redirecting maxillary growth and simultaneously stimulating mandibular growth.1-3 On the other hand, in adult patients with severe Class II malocclusions, generally involving extremely deficient mandibles, orthognathic surgery is often the only possibl...

Introduction With the advancement in imaging technology, 3D dental computed tomography plays a very significant role in orthodontic treatment and diagnosis. Aim To evaluate dental crowding in relation to the mesiodistal crown widths and arch dimensions and also to determine the differences of dental crowding among males and females, in Southern Indian population. Materials and Methods A tot...

The aim of this study was to evaluate skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue profile changes with activator and high-pull headgear combination therapy in patients with Class II malocclusions caused by maxillary prognathism and mandibular retrognathism. The subjects, all in the mixed dentition, were selected from a single centre and were divided into two groups: 28 patients were treated with a...

BACKGROUND Recent studies reported on the very complex morphology of the pulp system in equine cheek teeth. The continuous production of secondary dentine leads to distinct age-related changes of the endodontic cavity. Detailed anatomical knowledge of the dental cavities in all ages is required to explain the aetiopathology of typical equine endodontic diseases. Furthermore, data on mandibular ...

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relation between height of an individual with the circumference of skull and combined mesiodistal width (CMDW) of the permanent maxillary anterior teeth in forensic and medicolegal investigations. Materials and methods: In this study, 100 persons were evaluated. Mesiodistal widths of the permanent maxillary anterior teeth and height and circu...
