Main claim of these herbal tooth pastes being effective reduction in cavities and plaque control. Proven fact is that proper brushing with a tooth brush and tooth paste brings down...

to report the oral findings, including dental anomalies, ectopic eruption of the maxillary permanent first molars and periodontal disease and soft tissue alterations, in a subject with apert syndrome. clinical and radiographic examination of a patient with apert syndrome, aged 21 years old, not previously submitted for orthodontic or orthognathic treatment. dental anomalies were present in a pa...

ackground and aim: it is important to evaluate the effect of the type of filling material on deformation and strength of tooth after filling and also the effect of filling depth on quality of restoration of a decayed tooth. material and methods: the orthopantomogram (opg) of the first and second molars of a 28-year-old man was made and the teeth were 3d modeled. the stress-deformation analysis ...

background: malocclusion, as a worldwide issue, can cause a lot of problems for patients. panoramic (pr) and lateral cephalometric (lcr) radiographs are both usually indicated for orthodontic treatments. the aim of this study was to analyze vertical and sagittal parameters of both jaws on prs and to compare them on lcrs. materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 61 samples from all ...

let r be a right gf-closed ring with finite left and right gorenstein global dimension. we prove that if i is an ideal of r such that r/i is a semi-simple ring, then the gorensntein flat dimensnion of r/i as a right r-module and the gorensntein injective dimensnnion of r/i as a left r-module are identical. in particular, we show that for a simple module s over a commutative gorensntein ring r, ...

Alveolar ridge volume loss is an irreversible process. To prevent this physiological event, which typically result in significant local anatomical changes in both the horizontal and the vertical dimension, some strategies are indicated to minimize the loss of ridge volume that typically follows tooth extraction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if three different bone grafts could prom...
