OBJECTIVE To observe the presence of sexual dimorphism and compare the mesiodistal width of the teeth in Caucasian, African and Japanese individuals with Brazilian ancestry not orthodontically treated and with normal occlusion. METHODS One hundred pairs of dental casts were used. It was measured, from first molar to first molar in both arches, the teeth's mesiodistal widths, using a digital c...

Background:This study was undertaken to evaluate the applicability of Tanaka and Johnston mixed dentition prediction methods on Gulbarga population. Mesiodistal tooth dimensions of four mandibular incisors, maxillary and mandibular canines and premolar teeth were measured using a digital VernierCalipers calibrated to the nearest of 0.01mm from study models representing 50 male and 50 female of ...

Abstract Objectives Rehabilitation of edentulous ridges to promote the insertion dental implants has been key indicator for retaining osseous structures since tooth extraction. Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2(rhBMP-2) is exploited bone augmentation due its osteoinductive capacity. The objective study determine effectiveness induction implant placement by rhBMP-2 delivered on beta-trica...

Background: Optimal aesthetics without sacrificing function is one of the main goals prosthodontists. The face most noticeable aspect body, and a grin significantly increases one's sense self-worth. Since subsequently self-esteem are both impacted by loss anterior teeth, this frequently causes psychological anguish for patient. quality life patients improved proper tooth location choice employi...

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...

The degree of sexual dimorphism of permanent human canines in cervical buccolingual and mesiodistal diameters was investigated through discriminant analyses. Measurements were recorded in 254 canines from 85 individuals in four populations and sex was estimated with multifactorial morphological methods. Age was similar assessed in order to rule it out as a factor. Tooth and body size were contr...
