statement of the problem early detection of periodontal disease and distruction is important for prevention of further destruction of the tissues. we carried out this study to determine the normal cement enamel junction (cej) to alveolar bone crest (abc) distance in the interproximal area of primary molars on bitewing (b. w) radiographs in healthy 7-9 year old girls living in hamadan, iran. mat...

Introduction: Bite wing radiographs are indicated in children with closed posterior contacts. Given the fact that nowadays bitewing radiographs are taken using both paper loop and film holder, the aim of this study is the evaluation of acceptance and diagnostic quality of two methods. Materials and Methods: This study is a sort of diagnostic accuracy test that was performed on 20 6-8 year old ...

statement of the problem diagnosis of periodontal diseases without any accurate radiograph is inadequate. bitewing (bw) and periapical (pa) radiographic techniques are commonly used to assess alveolar bone crest (abc) level which is crucial in the evaluation of periodontal disease. purpose the purpose of this study was to compare the precision of bw and pa radiographs in determining the distanc...

OBJECTIVE Mini-implant stability is primarily related to bone quality and quantity. This study evaluated alveolar cortical bone thickness and density differences between interradicular sites at different levels from the alveolar crest, and assessed the differences between adolescents (12-18 years of age) and adults (19-50 years of age), males and females, upper and lower arch, anterior and post...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the bone quantity of alveoli grafted with autogenous particulate cancellous bone and marrow for implant placement in patients with alveolar clefts. Bone height, bone width, and interdental alveolar crest level were evaluated using computed tomography and periapical radiographs. The grafted alveoli underwent resorption 3-dimensionally, and the interden...

background radiographs play an integral role in the assessment of periodontal disease. in recent years, advent of digital imaging has revolutionized radiology in dentistry. patients and methods in this diagnostic accuracy study, 48 inter proximal surfaces were evaluated in eight patients. these patients had alveolar bone loss in anterior regions because of periodontitis. intraoral (parallel per...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the buccal and lingual bone thickness in the anterior teeth and the relationship between bone thickness and the tissue biotype. METHODS Three male and two female human cadaver heads (mean age, 55.4 years) were used in this study. First, the biotype of periodontium was evaluated and categorized into a thick or a thin group. Next, full thickness refl...

Augmentation of deficient and atrophic alveolar ridges is an important aspect of dental implant therapy with the goal of providing a functional restoration in harmony with adjacent natural dentition. Bone splitting technique is considered a distinguished augmentation method for treatment of deficient alveolar ridges. According to this procedure, the compromised alveolar ridge is opened from the...
