Objective: To determine the chronological eruption parameters of primary teeth in Indian children. Study Design: A longitudinal study consisting of 135 healthy children (74 boys and 61 girls) attending three child health centres in the city of Hyderabad, India were randomly selected and followed from the emergence of the first to the last tooth. Ages and order of tooth eruption were studied for...

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate a possible correlation between the characteristics of mandibular ramus and lower third molar impaction by comparing group subjects with an impacted second normal eruption for early prediction this pathology. comparison was made using linear angular measurements, which were taken on digital panoramic radiographs. Materials methods: A total 726 orthopant...

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Stunting is one of the nutritional problems that occur in Indonesia. a condition where height not following age. Physical growth often used as an indicator to measure status. Permanent first molars are erupt and normally at 6-7 years old. Nutrition plays important role development children. Since nutrition factors influence tooth eruption, this study aimed analyse correlat...

The objectives of our study were to achieve bodily molar distalization, avoid distal tipping of molars, eliminate the need for patient cooperation (no headgear, no elastics, and no esthetic and social concern), and finally to minimize the treatment period and maximize the treatment efficiency. The study was carried out on 5 males and 10 females, a total of 15 patients. Mean age for the study gr...

A clinical report of an erupted immature primary molar in a newborn is presented. The occurrence of a natal or neonatal molar can be considered a rare event since the majority of cases described are incisors. Clinical appearance, location, histological and radiographical examinations were used to establish the identity oF the lesion, The literature related to natal and neonatal teeth is reviewe...

Independent Seminars are running an all-day meeting in London. Dr Amarjit Gill, Prof Edward Lynch and Dr Tracey Bell will be exploring how dental care is changing and how it may look in 2020. Professor Lynch will be presenting some of the recent research into the use of ozone at this meeting, and the course can be accessed with this link; http://www.independentseminars.co.uk/content/seminars_de...

Intermittent tongue, lip and cheek forces influence precise tooth position, so we here examine the possibility that tissue remodelling driven by functional bite-force-induced jaw-strain accounts for tooth eruption. Notably, although a separate true 'eruptive force' is widely assumed, there is little direct evidence for such a force. We constructed a three dimensional finite element model from a...

Background and aims. Wound dehiscence after lower third molar surgery extends the postoperative treatment period and may cause long-standing pain. The aim of this study was to compare wound dehiscence after removal of wisdom teeth in the most prevalent mandibular impaction (mesioangular class IB) by two different soft tissue flap designs. Materials and methods. Partially-erupted mandibular thir...

PURPOSE This study investigated maxillary third molars and their relation to the maxillary sinus using panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 395 maxillary third molars in 234 patients were examined using panoramic radiographs and CBCT images. We examined the eruption level of the maxillary third molars, the available retromolar space,...
