INTRODUCTION This report presents a case of impacted lower third molar extracted for surgical reasons in patient with uncontrolled hepatitis C. After decalcification, dental pulp vasculature and its tissue quality were investigated. METHODS Serial sections of 4-μm thickness along the midline buccolingually for the demineralized specimen were obtained, mounted on a glass slide, stained with he...

introduction based on previous researches, dental pulp stem cells (dpscs) are easily accessible with limited morbidity after collection. their embryonic origin, from neural crests, explains their multipotency. dpscs are primarily derived from the pulp tissues of the teeth.objective: this study was undertaken to isolate, culture, and characterize two different third molar and first premolar huma...

Background: Using a reliable indicator to identify different phases of skeletal maturation is an important issue in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between stages of tooth calcification and cervical vertebral maturation in Iranian individuals. Patients and Methods: 216 digital panoramic and lateral cephalometry of h...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between impacted mandibular third molar presence and the risk for mandibular angle fracture with the effect of various positions of mandibular third molar and the risk of mandibular angle fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the North Indian territory, a total of 289 patients with mandibular angle fractures were studied and evaluated for the possible relatio...

Iatrogenic tooth displacement is a rare complication during extraction of impacted molars, but displacement of a maxillary third molar into the maxillary sinus, infratemporal fossa, buccal space, pterygomandibular space, and lateral pharyngeal space has been reported. Currently, 6 published reports describe third molar displacement into the lateral pharyngeal space, only 1 of which involved the...
