IJMDS ● www.ijmds.org ● January 2015; 4(1) 560 Original Article Influence of first premolar extraction on second and third molar angulation A clinical study Tarvade SMT, Biday S ABSTRACT Background: In modern populations, the impaction rate is higher for third molars than for any other tooth. Due to the speculation of third molar role on late incisor crowding, many orthodontists prescribe remov...

autogenous tooth transplantation (att) can be considered when there is a hopeless molar tooth and suitable donor present. this report presents an unconventional case of successful att of a third molar replacing the adjacent fractured second molar in a 33 year old woman. this wisdom tooth had completely developed roots. root-end filling with calcium enriched mixture (cem) cement was performed in...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of present study was to assess the surgical management of impacted third molar with proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve and complications associated with coronectomy in a series of patients undergoing third molar surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS The position of the mandibular canal in relation to the mandibular third molar region and mandibular foramen in the front pa...

Participants judged the affine equivalence of 2 simultaneously presented 4-point patterns. Performance level (d') varied between 1.5 and 2.7, depending on the information available for solving the correspondence problem (insufficient in Experiment 1a, superfluous in Experiment 1b, and minimal in Experiments 1c, 2a, 2b) and on the exposure time (unlimited in Experiments 1 and 2a and 500 ms in Ex...

tooth transplantation can be considered a valid and predictable treatment option for rehabilitating young patients with permanent teeth loss. this study presents several cases of successful autogenous tooth transplantation with a 6-9 months follow-up. tooth auto-transplantation can be considered a reasonable option for replacing missing teeth when a donor tooth is available. the auto-transplant...

OBJECTIVES This study used cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images to categorize the relationships between the mandibular canal and the roots and investigated the prevalence of nerve damage. MATERIALS AND METHODS Through CBCT images, contact and three-dimensional positional relationships between the roots of the mandibular third molar and the mandibular canal were investigated. With this ...
