Parent involvement (PI) in school is associated with more positive academic performance and social competence in children. However, there are inadequacies in current measures of PI and a need for a better understanding of predictors of PI. In this study, measures were obtained from a normative sample of 387 children in kindergarten and first grade from high-risk neighborhoods in 4 different sit...

Mandibular fracture in children usually results in the involvement of a tooth bud directly in the fracture line. A study by Koenig et al (1994) proves that the injury has the potential to damage the developing tooth germ. The presence of infection may also adversely affect the developing tooth and the fracture union. Specific treatment guidelines for developing tooth buds located in the line of...

Dental anomalies are the formative defects caused by genetic disturbances or environmental factors during tooth morphogenesis. Simultaneous occurrence of various multiple anomalies has been reported previously, particularly in cases of chromosomal abnormalities that often manifest with multisystem involvement. Very few cases of multiple anomalies have been documented in patients with no known g...

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...

econstruction of the mandible presents unique challenges to the head and neck surgeon. Although mandibular defects can result from trauma, infection, congenital deformities, or osteonecrosis, it most commonly occurs following ablative surgery for the treatment of benign or malignant neoplasms. Primary intrabony mandibular carcinoma is rare; therefore, the involvement of the lower jaw is usually...

BACKGROUND Patients treated with bisphosphonates because of bone metastases have been shown to develop osteonecrosis of the jaws. In the present study, we examined the histologic findings of these cases. As similarities between this disorder and infected osteoradionecrosis (IORN) are described, both lesions were compared. METHODS We investigated eight patients with bisphosphonate treatment an...

Osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor with mesenchymal origin, most commonly found in extremities, pelvis and axial skeleton, including only 6% mandibular maxillary involvement. In jaws, this lesion is, generally, single predilection for posterior ramus mandible men the third or fouth decade of life. The aim study report 57year old woman diagnosed osteosarcoma region treated surgical resection asso...

conclusions this study demonstrated numerous clinical similarities of trigeminal neuralgia afflicting different populations. right side was more involved along with mandibular division the most commonly affected. however studies needs to be done to know the exact reasons of involvement of the affected side and branches. results the age of the patients varied from 40 to 80 years with a mean age ...
