_________________________________________________________________________________________ Denticles are pulp degenerations in the form of calcified deposits of mineral salts, usually found in molars and lower incisors, as well as in impacted teeth and deciduous molars. Denticles may come in various sizes, from microscopic particles to larger mass that almost obliterate the pulp chamber and are ...

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is an unusual, non-hereditary anomaly of the dental hard tissues with characteristic clinical, radiographic and histological findings. Clinically, RO affects the primary and permanent dentition in the maxilla and mandible or both jaws. Radiographically, there is a lack of contrast between the enamel dentin, both of which are less radiopaque than unaffected counterp...

Regional odontodysplasia (RO) is a sporadic (not inherited) developmental defect involving only a few contiguous teeth in a small region of the jaw; developmentally it involves both mesodermal and ectodermal dental components. It affects the primary and permanent dentition in the maxilla and mandible or both jaws. Generally it is localized to only one arch. The etiology of this dental anomaly i...

The most common root malformations in humans arise from either developmental disorders of the root alone or disorders of radicular development as part of a general tooth dysplasia. The aim of this review is to relate the characteristics of these root malformations to potentially disrupted processes involved in radicular morphogenesis. Radicular morphogenesis proceeds under the control of Hertwi...

Purpose: We seek improved image quality from accelerated EPI data, particularly at ultra-high field. Certain artifacts in EPI reconstructions can be attributed to nonlinear phase differences between data acquired using frequency encoding gradients of alternating polarity. These errors appear near regions of local susceptibility gradients, and typically cannot be corrected with conventional Nyqu...
