PURPOSE This study compares the accuracy of space prediction for the unerupted permanent canines and premolars by a recognized method of mixed dentition space analysis (Moyers technique) vs estimation by simple visual observation (SVO). METHODS Twenty clinicians with varying levels of dental experience and training blindly assessed study models of 4 intact arches (2 maxillary and 2 mandibular...

THE STUDY OF THE ASSOCIATION OF DECAY RISK WITH MALOCCLUSIONS IN MIXED DENTITION AT CHILDREN FROM NORTHEAST ROMANIA. A TRANSVERSAL RETROSPECTIVE STUDY (Abstract): Aim. The purpose of this study was to investigate if high values of DMFT/dmft indices constitute risk factors for installation in various types of malocclusions in mixed dentition. Material and Methods The study consisted of 600 study...

dental anomalies are rare findings that may affect development of occlusion and early intervention may be required. here, a case of multiple anomalies in primary and perma nent dentitions is reported. the patient referred to the dental center with the chief complaint of multiple tooth decay. in the oral examination, the rare case of triplica tion between the right geminated man-dibular a and ri...

This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the difference in measurement between conventional orthodontic analysis and artificial intelligence pediatric adolescent patients aged 7 - 15 with mixed permanent dentition. A total of 60 (30 dentition, 30 dentition) who underwent lateral cephalometric radiograph for diagnosis were randomly selected. Seventeen landmarks identified, 22 measurements calc...

OBJECTIVE The maintenance of normal conditions of the masticatory function is determinant for the correct growth and development of its structures. Thus, the aims of this study were to evaluate the influence of sucking habits on the presence of crossbite and its relationship with maximal bite force, facial morphology and body variables in 67 children of both genders (3.5-7 years) with primary o...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to outline orthodontists' perspectives at what stage they would initiate orthodontic treatment and also sought to assess the relationship between orthodontists' views and their genders, types of practice, and experience levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire was sent electronically to 165 practicing orthodontists at different regions in Saudi Arabia. The ort...

Introduction: Predicting the size of unerupted teeth during the mixed dentition period is a critical factor in managing the developing occlusion. The Nance radiographic method, Moyers mixed dentition space analysis and Johnston Tanaka method are among the most commonly used in clinical practice for detecting tooth sizearch length discrepancies. In view of reported secular trends, racial, and se...

OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to investigate the microbial profiles of teeth in different locations in mixed-dentition-stage children, and to compare the microbiomes of permanent and deciduous teeth in the same healthy oral cavity. METHODS Supragingival plaque samples of teeth in various locations-the first permanent molars, deciduous molars, deciduous canines and incisors and per...

BACKGROUND Correction of orthodontic asymmetries is crucial to achieve functional occlusion, aesthetics and stability of post orthodontic treatment results. To date valid frequency data of dentofacial asymmetries in Pakistani orthodontic patients do not exist to document orthodontic treatment need. The objectives of this study were to determine frequency of dento-facial asymmetries, severity of...

The term anterior open bite, which means no contact between anterior teeth, stands out in current orthodontic by the complexity of the treatment, associated with high levels of instability and recurrence. The purpose of this study is to emphasize that early etiological diagnosis is essential to the successful outcome of the technical intervention. The bibliographical study shows that, once the ...
