Tooth bleaching (whitening) is one of the most common and inexpensive method for treating discolouration of teeth. Dental aesthetics, especially tooth colour, is of great importance to majority of the people; and discolouration of even a single tooth can negatively influence the quality of life. Therefore, a review of the literature was carried out (limited to aesthetic tooth-bleaching) to prov...

The autogenous tooth transplantation is an alternative treatment replacing a missing tooth when a suitable donor tooth is available. It is also a successful treatment option to save significant amount of time and cost comparing implants or conventional prosthetics. These cases, which required single tooth extraction due to deep caries and severe periodontal disease, could have good results by t...

Recently, clinical application of autogenous tooth bone-graft materials has been reported. Autogenous tooth bone graft has been used in implant surgery. Familial tooth bone graft is a more advanced procedure than autogenous teeth bone graft in that extracted teeth can be used for bone graft materials of implant and teeth donation between siblings is possible. We used autogenous tooth and famili...

A design package is developed for a single-tooth per stator pole switched reluctance motor, 6/4. The rather simple assumed flux path method is used to estimate the unaligned permeance including the leakage permeances and the effects of shallow slot and tooth taper. The possibility of making rotor tooth width greater than stator tooth width is examined using the developed package. The result app...

the biologic width (bw) includes attached epithelial cells and connective tissue attachment complex being very important in the periodontal health during prosthetic treatments as invading this zone can cause bone resorption and gingival recession. the present study investigated biologic width values in the normal periodontium in anterior and posterior teeth. 30 patients that referred from resto...

objective: tooth surface undergoes continuous remineralization and demineralization. the aim of this study was to compare the effect of caseinphosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (cpp-acp) paste and fluoride gel on the microhardness of demineralized enamel lesions.   methods: frothy eight specimens of premolar teeth were chosen and randomly divided to 4 groups of 12. after the initial mea...

objective: extraction of premolars is believed to affect the eruption of third molars. this comparative study aimed to assess the change in angulation of third molars following first/second premolar extraction versus non-extraction orthodontic treatments. methods: this historical cohort study was conducted on patients assigned to three treatment groups: extraction of mandibular first premolars ...
