Purpose:To investigate the prevalence and radiographic characteristics of migrated mandibular second premolars byusing panoramic radiography.Materials & Methods:The previously taken 27758 radiographs were evaluated regarding determining theprevalence premolar migration. Thirty-six excluded from study due to notproviding inclusion criteria. 27722 retrospectively by same operator. In diagnosi...

Maxillary sinus floor augmentations were performed by the lateral window technique in 132 sites using betatricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) granules. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were taken before surgery, the day of surgery, and one week, three months and one year after surgery. The proportion of the area of the postoperative swelling of the sinus membrane in relation to the remaining...

In human enamel, the enamel rods do not run straight in most regions. Instead, they obtain an undulated path. The diameter of the enamel rods remains constant all the way, and a wavy pattern is necessary to produce the volume of the enamel mantle. It is not understood, how this undulated migration of ameloblasts is created. Considerations are presented to explain causal interdependencies betwee...

INTRODUCTION Migration of dislocated lower third molar into the condylar region is quite rare. Attention should be taken to avoid condyle fracture. METHODS 49-year-old patient had an ectopic lower left third molal in the condylar region, suffered from a submandibular and masseter space abscess. Removal of the molar via intraoral approach was chosen avoiding facial nerve branches and unnecessa...

Tooth development is a multi-stage and multi-step process involving fate determination morphogenetic patterning events, epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, cell proliferation, differentiation, migration. Animal model studies have shown that YAP TAZ, effectors of the Hippo pathway, critical function in tooth morphogenesis. However, TAZ has not been well documented its specific roles morphogenes...
