STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dimensions of teeth have been available for a century. Some significant and clinically relevant aspects of dental esthetics, however, such as the crown width/length ratios, have not been presented in tooth morphology sources until recently. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the anatomic crowns of 4 tooth groups (central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, ...

Over the year’s orthodontists have increasingly shown more interest in problem of retracting permanent canines...

American trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are caused by related hemoflagellate parasites, Trypanosoma cruzi and Leishmania spp., which share several common host species. Both zoonotic protozoans are endemic in the United States. Canines, including domestic and wild canids, are reservoir hosts for human infections with T. cruzi and Leishmania spp. The present study examined the seroprevalence o...

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of panoramic radiography and the buccal object rule in intraoral periapical radiography for localization of impacted maxillary canine teeth. Methods: A total of 20 panoramic radiographs depicting 28 displaced maxillary canines were evaluated. The ratio of the mesiodistal width of the impacted canine to the mesiodistal width of the...

Abstract Introduction: Maxillary canines commonly have an ectopic eruption. This study aimed to assess the factors related to the ectopic maxillary permanent canines. Materials and Methods:This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of 1357 panoramic radiographs from patients 8 to 13 years old. The radiography was excluded if the patient had any developmental disease or if the panoramic im...

background: since there has been no published report on the impact of permanent canines in shiraz population, this study was conducted to investigate the prevalence and the location of the impacted permanent canines in patients referred to the department of radiology of shiraz dental school in 2012. materials and methods: this was an analytic cross-sectional study on 1012 panoramic radiographs....

PURPOSE Direct intraoral scanning and superimposing methods have recently been applied to measure the dimensions of periodontal tissues. The aim this study was analyze various correlations between labial gingival thickness underlying alveolar bone thickness, as well clinical parameters among 3 tooth types (central incisors, lateral canines) using a digital method. METHODS In 20 periodontally he...

AIM To analyze the interrelationship between incisor width, deviations in the dentition and available space in the dental arch in palatally and labially located maxillary ectopic canine cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Size: On dental casts from 69 patients (mean age 13 years 6 months) the mesiodistal widths of each premolar, canine and incisor were measured and compared with normal standards. De...

BACKGROUND Palatal canines are upper permanent canine (eye) teeth that have become displaced in the roof of the mouth. They are a frequently occurring anomaly, present in 2% to 3% of the population. Management of this problem is both time consuming and expensive and involves surgical exposure (uncovering) followed by fixed braces for 2 to 3 years to bring the canine into alignment within the de...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect interceptive primary canine extraction in palatally and buccally displaced maxillary permanent canines, analyze clinical radiographic factors affecting treatment outcome. 97 canines from 86 patients whose were mesio-occlusal directions overlapped with roots adjacent teeth analyzed. In 64 (66.0%) crown completely deviated lateral incisor root ...
