statement of problem: nowadays, evaluation of the development of occlusion in deciduous teeth for creating corrective occlusion in permanent teeth is one of the most important objectives of pediatric dentistry. in other countries, a vast number of researches have been accomplished on the details of occlusion in deciduous teeth. but, unfortunately, there is still no accurate information about th...

BACKGROUND A better knowledge about the Interdental space is important since it provides insights on the prevalence of malocclusion. To date, there is conflicting evidence on the impact of body mass index (BMI) and Socioeconomic status (SES) on interdental space. A recent review concluded that a greater understanding is required of the interdental space. Therefore, there is a need for a more co...

PURPOSE This study assessed the relationship between interdental spacing patterns and caries experience in the primary dentition. METHODS Caries examinations were conducted amoung 356 children 4 to 6 years of age. At the time of the examinations, alginate impressions were obtained and poured in yellow stone. From the stone casts, each interdental area was categorized as: (1) space > 1 mm, (2)...

PURPOSE Interdental diameter space is largely undefined in adults, which compromises the decision support for daily interdental cleaning during routine practice in individual oral prophylaxis. This study assesses the distribution of diameter access of interdental spaces in an 18- to 25-year-old adult population free of periodontal disease. METHODS In March-April 2015, a cross-sectional study ...

The improved detection of mutans streptococci (MS) in individuals was investigated using several modifications to a commercially available kit, Dentocult SM. Significantly better detection of MS was achieved using plaque from the four approximal surfaces at two interdental spaces than with saliva (P < 0.001). Furthermore, the MS estimates for approximal surfaces at the same interdental space we...

Received: 22 May 2012 Accepted: 10 April 2013 Abstract Background and Aim: Interdental papilla reconstruction especially at the esthetic zone is among the most difficult periodontal treatments. Papilla deficienciesmay occur following some periodontal surgeries and several techniques, mostly surgical and invasive, have been suggested to correct them. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ...

A new esthetic solution to restore dental implants in combination with limited interdental, facial or labial, or interocclusal space is presented. This article describes the translational application of novel-design porcelain veneers and adhesive restorative principles in the implant realm. A patient is presented who was treated with a single implant-supported restoration replacing a missing ma...

A panoramic radiographic study was carried out on 404 dentate Saudi Arabians, to locate positions of the mental foramen. Results show that 83.7% of the mental foramen locations occurred in the interdental space between the mandibular premolars and apical to the mandibular second premolar. 9.35% occurred posterior to the mandibular second premolar, and 6.95% occurred apical/anterior to the mandi...

PURPOSE To analyze the dimensions of the embrasure space between the maxillary central incisors as potential factors influencing interdental papilla fill and height. METHODS The embrasure dimensions between the maxillary central incisors of 100 subjects (40 females/60 males) were assessed with clinical, study model, and radiographic examinations. Variables of the complete and deficient papill...

Discontinuity of the second formant (F2 discontinuity) is often found during back-to-front vowel transitions, and it has been thought due to two possible effects: acoustic coupling with the subglottal tract (subglottal-coupling effect, SCE) and traveling anti-resonance of the interdental space (interdental-space effect, ISE). Although both are possible to appear together, either of the two is c...
