Abstract The present article reports the successful non-extraction orthodontic treatment using miniscrew anchorage in a patient who presented with maxillary left central incisor loss and unstable jaw movements. chief complaints of 23-year-old female were her protruding teeth crowding mandibular anterior segment. lost as result traumatic injury during childhood. However, crown was saved attached...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of the present study were to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth in a patient sample of Nepalese children. STUDY DESIGN A survey was performed on 2684 patients (1829 females and 1035 males) ranging in age from 6 to 14 for the presence of supernumerary teeth. For each patient with supernumerary teeth the demographic variables (age and ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate transversally the clinical correlation between lower incisor crowding and mandible third molar. STUDY DESIGN Three hundred healthy volunteers (134 male and 166 female), aged 20.4 (±2.4) years-old were submitted to a complete clinical examination and filled up a questionnaire about gender, age, total teeth number and presence or absence of super...

more physiological action profile. Apart from the practical problems of assessing the depth of subcutaneous tissue in a large number of patients-and the provision of a range of needle lengths-longer term studies are needed on blood glucose control, the relative rate of hypoglycaemia, effects of exercise, and patient acceptability. Until such data are available it may perhaps be wise to recommen...

In this study, stress of traumatized incisor and the effect of stress on tooth and alveolar bone was studied with two-dimensional photoelasticity. Two homogeneous two-dimensional maxillary central incisor models were prepared. Loads were applied to the labial side of incisal edge and middle third of the crown at angles of 45 degrees and 90 degrees. It was observed that stress was increased on t...

The aim of this case report was to introduce an appliance for correcting severe rotation of anterior teeth in the mixed dentition period. A 9-year-old Iranian boy with a mixed dentition Class I malocclusion complained of a severely rotated of upper right central incisor. There was a mesiodens between the central incisors. The supernumerary tooth was first extracted and then a Whip appliance whi...

ÖZET Congenitally missing teeth and conical lateral incisor teeth particularly seen on the anterior region in adolescence is an esthetically and functionally challenging situation for the clinician and the patient. As far as the ages of patients are concerned, the restoration should be applied with a minimally invasive approach. Glass fiber-reinforced composite resin applications, which have re...

Open bite (OB) is a generalized term, which could incorporate subgroups that react differently to vertical correction. The objectives of the present study were to detect vertical treatment changes in incomplete bite (IB: inter-incisor overlap with no lower incisor contact with teeth or palate) and OB (no inter-incisor overlap) groups compared with a complete bite (CB: inter-incisor overlap with...

Abnormalities in size of teeth and number of teeth are occasionally recorded in clinical cases. True generalized microdontia is rare case in which all the teeth are smaller than normal. Mesiodens is commonly located in maxilary central incisor region and uncommon in the mandible. In the present case a 12 year-old boy was healthy; normal in appearance and the medical history was noncontributory....
