Objective. This study aimed to find out the change in esthetic ratios during rotation of patient's head using a simulation. Materials and Methods. A plaster study model was photographed placing its midline along the long axis of the camera. Then a series of photographs were taken by rotating the model each degree till 10° on both right and left sides. These photographs were digitally measured a...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The use of miniscrews has expedited the true maxillary incisor intrusion and has minimized untoward side effects such as labial tipping. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the stress distribution in the periodontal ligament of maxillary incisors when addressed to different models of intrusion mechanics using miniscrews by employing finite element methods. The...

Abstract This case report describes successful long-term conservative management of a cervical root fracture and a complicated crown fracture of the maxillary central incisors in a 12-year-old patient. A mineral trioxide aggregate partial pulpotomy was performed on the maxillary right central incisor, while the maxillary left central incisor was splinted to the neighbouring lateral incisor usin...

A tooth displaced down into alveolar bone is an intrusive luxation. This injury usually is accompanied by comminution of alveolar fracture. The dislocation is frequently axial and radiographic examination reveals absence of periodontal space. The primary site for luxation injuries is the maxillary anterior region in the primary and permanent dentition with frequency higher in the primary dentit...
