Objectives Maxillary implant-supported over-denture is a suitable treatment where conventional denture cannot be used. Few studies are available on maxillary over-denture while more are available on mandibular over-denture with no literature referring to attachment selection in maxillary over-dentures. The objective of this literature review was to see attachment selection strategies in maxill...

BACKGROUND The aim of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the sagittal mandibular response induced by rapid maxillary expansion (RME) therapy in mixed dentition patients with class II malocclusion, comparing the effects of bonded RME and banded RME with a matched untreated class II control group. METHODS This RCT was designed in parallel with an allocation ratio of 1:...

Participating in the International Symposium on Early Orthodontic Treatment allowed me to review our long-term studies of orthodontic and orthopedic intervention in patients in the mixed and early permanent dentition periods who present with tooth size-arch length discrepancies. I hope this brief synopsis of that research will spur the reader to examine our textbook, a short conceptual article ...

INTRODUCTION The medial maxillary sinus roof is a ridge formed by the superior margin of the maxillary sinus antrostomy. The posterior wall of the maxillary sinus is always included in operative fields. OBJECTIVE To perform a radiologic study assessing the utility of the medial maxillary sinus roof and the posterior wall of the maxillary sinus as fixed landmarks for providing a safe route of ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to determine the incidence, location, and orientation of maxillary sinus septa in formalin embalmed cadavers. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted on 210 cadaveric heads available in our department. After taking the mid-sagittal section the specimens were opened from the medial aspect and the sinus cavity was explored for the presence of maxillary ...

introduction: complete knowledge of root canal curvature is a critical factor in successful dental treatment .the aim of this study was to investigate the direction, radius and degree of curvature of maxillary anterior teeth and the relation between radius and degree of curvature in babol city. methods &materials;: this study was performed on 242 anterior teeth radiographs were taken by periapi...

introduction: this study was carried out to compare the capability of k-files with mtwo rotary file in terms of negotiation as well as depth of penetration in second mesiobuccal (mb2) canal of maxillary first molar. materials and methods: a total of 32 mb2 canal of maxillary first molars having different root curvatures (not more than 30 degree) and root lengths were selected and then detected ...

thorough knowledge of the morphology and internal anatomy of the root canal system is essential, because it determines the successful outcome of endodontic treatment. the main goal of endodontic treatment is to prevent apical periodontitis and/or to promote the healing of periapical lesion. presence of two canals or roots on the palatal side of the first maxillary molar has rarely been reported...

conclusions it was observed that the success and survival rate of maxillary molar immediate implant was relatively high and similar to those of conventional delayed implants. results immediate implants were most frequently used for incisor and premolar sites and there is very little data available on immediate implantation in the molar area. in this research, we reviewed all the existing papers...
