background: consistency, backing process and content differences could influence cariogenic potential of foods. the aim was to compare plaque ph changes following consumption of two types of bread with different physical characteristics. methods: in this clinical trial, interproximal plaque ph of 10 volunteers with high risk of dental caries (saliva streptococcus mutans > 10 5 , high dental car...

introdouction:the study aimed to compare the accuracy of proximal caries detection by dental practitioners using two different systems, direct digital system and conventional films, under routine environmental conditions. materials and methods: eleven extracted human posterior teeth were mounted on wax frames and were exposed using the direct digital system and conventional films. seventy-four ...

This article will discuss and evaluate the potential conditions that can present in patients who require or already have had multiple anterior tooth extractions; the proper considerations for the use of ovate pontics in the treatment plan also will be discussed. While the ultimate treatment decisions must be determined on a case-by-case basis, it is important to recognize in advance the various...

Introduction and objective: This paper aims to report a literature review on the anatomy and morphology of the interproximal papilla and present the options of both surgical and nonsurgical treatment for the recovery of interdental papilla. Literature review: The loss of the interdental papilla because of the interproximal bone loss accounts for aesthetic, phonetic and functional problems of pa...

Purpose. The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of alveolar bone loss in Brazilian adolescents through the interproximal X-rays analysis. Methods. Bilateral and standardized interproximal (bitewing) X-rays were performed in 15-year-old adolescents (n = 326), and the processing of films and measurements of alveolar bone levels were accomplished by a single examiner. A distance betwee...

One of the challenges in creating an esthetic and successful dental implant restoration is the maintenance or reconstruction of the interproximal papilla. Many surgical and prosthetic techniques have been attempted to maintain or regenerate the missing interproximal papilla adjacent to dental implants. According to the literature, the results to date have been unpredictable (8-10). The papilla ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of attachments and interproximal reduction on canines undergoing rotational movement with Invisalign. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective clinical study, 53 canines (33 maxillary and 20 mandibular) were measured from the virtual TREAT models of 31 participants treated with anterior Invisalign. The pretreatment virtual model of the predicted final toot...

AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with the fill of inter-dental spaces by gingival papillae. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six adult subjects were evaluated. Papilla score (PS), tooth form/shape, interproximal contact length and gingival thickness were recorded for 672 maxillary anterior and first pre-molar interproximal sites. Statistical analyses included a non...
