OBJECTIVES Localization of the mandibular canal (MC) and measurement of the height and width of the available alveolar bone at the proposed implant site in the posterior segment of the mandible using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in patients with a single missing tooth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed where CBCT scans of the patients with a single missing to...

BACKGROUND This retrospective study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of three-rooted permanent mandibular first molars in digital periapical radiographic images obtained from a Turkish patient. MATERIALS AND METHODS Periapical radiographs of 640 subjects, which had been obtained in the Department of Oral Diagnosis Radiology, Kirikkale University Dental Faculty, Kirikkale, Turkey fro...

This clinical report describes the delayed development of a maxillary second premolar. The premolar developed when the patient was between the ages of 12 and 16 years. The development of the tooth was discovered from a panoramic radiograph taken when the patient was 17 years, 1 month of age. Previous to this discovery, the tooth had been diagnosed as congenitally missing. The transition from th...

This paper presents two cases of late developing supernumerary premolars. Case 1 is a female patient with nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth located in the maxillary right premolar-molar region, maxillary left premolar region, and the mandibular right and left premolar regions. In this patient surgical removal of all supernumerary teeth was carried out to avoid complications during ortho...

Aim & Objective: The objective of this in vitro research was to assess how final irrigation techniques affected the apical micro leakageof a bioceramic sealer.Materials and Methods: To standardise canal length, sixty single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth that had been removed were obtained decoronated. working length root canals established after accessing them. NiTi rotary files used pre...

PURPOSE To compare marginal and internal gaps of zirconia substructure of single crowns with those of three-unit fixed dental prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS Standardized Co-Cr alloy simulated second premolar and second molar abutments were fabricated and subsequently duplicated into type-III dental stone for working casts. After that, all zirconia substructures were made using Lava™ system...
