Neandertals differ from recent and terminal Pleistocene human populations in their patterns of dental development, endostructural (internal structure) organization, and relative tissue proportions. Although significant changes in craniofacial and postcranial morphology have been found between the Middle Paleolithic and earlier Upper Paleolithic modern humans of western Eurasia and the terminal ...

Dental identification involves compiling a prescribed dental chart of deceased person’s oral findings which is then compared with antemortem information. However, this process complicated, and comparison can be difficult. In study, the authors evaluated whether it possible to identify images from information using an image program (AKAZE) one-sided cross-sectional generated STL (Standard Triang...

Additional dentition images are needed because the dentitions distorted in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) due to streak artifacts and non-uniformity of x-ray beam. The purpose this study is evaluate feasibility improving image CBCT scan with intraoral scanner instead plaster models. Maxilla from models, two scanners, 20 patients aged 12 18 were used study. With one full arch was scanned b...

Results to the primary dentition of a school-based fluoride mouthrinsing program using a 0.2 percent neutrM sodium fluoride solution are present~t after up to four years of weekly rinsing (109 rinses) for children in grades one through four. Compared to baseline caries scores of children in the same schools who were examined before the rinsing program started, there was a reduction in caries pr...

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypoplasia, demarcated opacity and dental fluorosis among schoolchildren with deciduous and permanent dentition. The association between enamel defects and dental caries was also verified. The sample consisted of 624 schoolchildren aged 5 and 309 aged 12. The dmft and DMFT indexes were used to assess dental caries prevalence, DDE to asses...

The epidemiology of dental caries in the pediatric population demonstrates that caries is no longer pandemic in the US population. The incidence is confined to a subset of the total population of our children. The disease is also increasingly isolated to specific teeth and tooth morphology types in both the pediatric and the mixed dentitions, with pits and fissures being the predominate disease...

The issues of structural organization, function and diagnosis diseases the temporomandibular joint have long attracted attention not only morphologists, dentists, maxillofacial surgeons, but also doctors related specialties. Temporomandibular disorders are among most common non-odontogenic pain syndromes in region considered a variant musculoskeletal syndrome. Based on analysis results clinical...

background: hypodontia is the most common dental anomaly and might cause clinical complications. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and pattern of congenital missing in the permanent dentition dentition (excluding third molars), among iranian orthodontic patients. materials and methods: in this descriptive cross-sectional study, all approved panoramic radiographs of 3374 orthodo...

Among ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), the crushing, durophagous feeding strategy first evolved in early Carboniferous period, with †Eurynotiformes possessing dentitions single layers of partially to fully fused blunt teeth. In †‘Platysomidae’ (Permian), a new form crushing dentition (phyllodonty), which multiple superimposed teeth developed intraosseously, within jaw. The phyllodont is also...
