PURPOSE This article is to describe a modified device for intraoral radiography which was developed to obtain reproducible radiographic images for assessment of distal osseous defects of the mandibular second molar (2 Mm) after impacted third molar (3 Mm) surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS A commercial available alignment system for posterior region was modified by adding a reference gauge pin (m...

Case report CASE 1: This case presented A 29year-old male who complained of acute nocturnal pain at the right maxillary central incisor level. His medical history was not contributory with the exception of an episode of renal colic. Intraoral examination revealed a small lesion at the cervical-distal angle of 1.1, and a change in underlying coloration to a pinkish tone. Periapical radiogaphy re...

ABSTRACT Objective: Compare the accuracy of early diagnosis simulated internal root resorptions and external resorption, using digital periapical radiography cone beam computed tomography. Methods: Root resorption were in extracted human teeth by demineralization with 5% nitric acid solution 8% Sodium Hypochlorite different periods (1 5 days). For group (n=12) composite resin cylinders position...

option in clinical dentistry, requiring proper diagnosis and case selection. Patients present with variable osseous anatomy at the proposed implant location, often making it difficult for the dentist to determine if sufficient bone is present in which to place an implant. Using 2-dimensional radiography (including panoramic, periapical, and bitewing radiographs), which may not allow the dentist...

The aim of this study was to test the efficacy of three different electronic apex locators (EALs) in comparison with the radiographic working length determination. This study was conducted on the 211 root canals of 113 teeth in the undergraduate endodontic clinic. Under the referee of the research assistants, the students determined the working length by taking a periapical radiograph with the ...

PURPOSE The aim of this paper is to describe a protocol for a one-stage technique called Immediate Dentoalveolar Restoration (IDR), which uses autogenous bone grafts to restore peri-implant bone defects, presenting the results of mid-term follow-up. SUMMARY The patient presented a left central incisor that was compromised and with a total loss of buccal bone wall. The proposed treatment follo...

During the past few years replacement of the missing teeth with dental implants has become an indispensible part of modern dental practice. As with other branches of dentistry for the optimal success in dental implant treatment proper diagnosis and treatment planning are the prerequisites. For proper diagnosis and treatment planning Implant imaging techniques and their accurate interpretation i...
