Objectives: 1) To determine tooth size ratios in Saudi subjects with Class II, Division 1 malocclusion, 2) to compare tooth size ratios between Saudi males and females and 3) to compare tooth size ratios between Saudi subjects with Class II, Division 1, and Saudi subjects with Class I normal occlusion, and Bolton’s results. Methods: The current study consisted of study models of sixty subjects ...

The aims of this study were to identify possible gender-related differences in tooth size ratios, to determine whether there is a prevalence for intermaxillary tooth size discrepancies in any malocclusion group, and to detect the percentage of tooth size discrepancies outside 1 or 2 standard deviations (SDs) from Bolton's mean. The material comprised the models of 500 subjects (284 females and ...

Most of what we know about the timing of human enamel formation comes from radiographic studies on children of known age. Here, we present new longitudinal data derived from a histological analysis of tooth enamel. Two samples, one from southern Africa and one from northern Europe, contained all anterior and molar tooth types. Two further samples contained only one tooth type: canines from a me...

This clinical report describes the treatment plan for a young patient affected by amelogenesis imperfecta with anterior open bite. The objectives of the treatment were to eliminate tooth sensitivity while enhancing esthetics and restoring masticatory function. Treatment included resin composite laminate veneers on maxillary anterior teeth and stainless steel crowns for posterior teeth.

One of the causes of abrasive wear is the use of abrasive tooth pastes and tooth brushes. This may lead to dentin sensitivity if exposed.The aim of this study is to examine 1,526 upper anterior and premolar teeth for evidence of abrasive wear. The segment of teeth were selected because of their preeminence in the smile line.1,526 upper anterior and premolar teeth were examined using key-feature...

Dilacerations generally involve central incisors; most often maxillary incisors rather than their mandibular counterparts. The clinical features of dilaceration include non-eruption the responsible tooth or prolonged retention deciduous predecessor tooth. In Case 1, showed a at boundary between crown and root, more laterally labiolingually. 2, dilacerated with relatively normal orientation dent...
