The case of a 47-year-old female patient with an asymmetric traumatic occlusion, great alveolar destruction in the mandibular left central incisor, gingival recession with attachment loss and lack o fkeratinized tissue more accentuated in the crossbite teeth is described. This situation was caused by the traumatic position of the teeth, aggravated by a forced asymmetric anterior position of the...

A method of recording incisor inclination is described using the Tooth inclination Protractor (TIP). This instrument was used to record incisor inclination on dental casts. The scores were related to traditionally determined inclinations for the upper incisor to maxillary plane and the lower incisor to mandibular plane from the lateral cephalometric radiograph. The TIP scores were closely relat...

BACKGROUND This study cephalometrically compared the dentoskeletal and soft tissue changes consequent to one and three-premolar extraction protocols of class II subdivision malocclusion treatment. METHODS A sample of 126 lateral cephalometric radiographs from 63 patients was selected and divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 31 type 1 class II subdivision malocclusion patients treated...

Mandibular dental crowding often encourages patients to seek orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist should decide between protrusion of incisors or decrease in dental volume so as to achieve proper alignment and leveling. The present study reports the treatment of an Angle Class I malocclusion adolescent female brachyfacial patient with severe mandibular dental crowding, increased curve of Spe...

The purpose of this study involving a sample of children with single central incisor crossbite was to determine the relationship between clinical crown lengths of the crossbite and noncrossbite mandibular incisors, incisor irregularity, and orthodontic correction of the crossbite. In addition, for comparison, the normal maturational change in position of the labial gingival margin of mandibular...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate transversally the clinical correlation between lower incisor crowding and mandible third molar. STUDY DESIGN Three hundred healthy volunteers (134 male and 166 female), aged 20.4 (±2.4) years-old were submitted to a complete clinical examination and filled up a questionnaire about gender, age, total teeth number and presence or absence of super...

Tooth regeneration by cell delivery encounters translational hurdles. We hypothesized that anatomically correct teeth can regenerate in scaffolds without cell transplantation. Novel, anatomically shaped human molar scaffolds and rat incisor scaffolds were fabricated by 3D bioprinting from a hybrid of poly-epsilon-caprolactone and hydroxyapatite with 200-microm-diameter interconnecting microchan...

statement of problem: knowledge of internal anatomy of tooth plays an important role in a successful endodontics treatment. for a proper endodontic treatment, it is not only important to know the form of normal anatomy of tooth’s interior but one must also be acquainted with the possible diverse forms. purpose: a thorough understanding of the internal anatomy of human mandibular incisors (centr...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the changes induced in the pharyngeal airway space by orthodontic treatment with bodily retraction of the mandibular incisors and mandibular setback surgery without extraction. METHODS This retrospective study included 63 adult patients (32 men and 31 women). Thirty-three patients who had been treated via four-bicuspid extraction and bodily r...
