background and aims. due to anatomic variation in tooth anatomy between populations, this study compared the buccolingual (bl) and mesiodistal (md) dimensions of primary molars with those of stainless steel crowns (sscs) in an iranian population. materials and methods. impressions were taken from both dental arches of children, and casts were poured. teeth with caries, restoration, hypoplasia o...

OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of bite force on the displacement and stress distribution of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) in the molar region according to placement site, insertion angle, and loading direction. METHODS Five finite element models were created using micro-computed tomography (microCT) images of the maxilla and mandible. OMIs were placed at one maxillary and two mandibular p...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to (1) evaluate the effects of maxillary second and third molar eruption status on the distalization of first molars with a modified palatal anchorage plate (MPAP), and (2) compare the results to the outcomes of the use of a pendulum and that of a headgear using three-dimensional finite element analysis. METHODS Three eruption stages were established: an erupting se...

Fusion and gemination are not entirely uncommon dental anomalies that may also be named ‘double teeth’. This is due to their unusual presentation in a twin-like fashion. Teeth with these irregularities appear clinically similar, presenting as large bulbous shape anatomy fissure patterns. The exact aetiology of uncertain, but many potential local or systemic disturbances during the morphodiffere...

Data using SPSS...

Introduction: Knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients.   Materials and Methods: Thirty five Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)...
