OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to present a literature review and case series report of tooth abnormalities in congenital infiltrating lipomatosis of the face (CIL-F). METHODS Four typical cases of CIL-F are presented. Tooth abnormalities in CIL-F documented in the English literature are also reviewed. The clinical and radiological features of tooth abnormalities are summarized. RESULT...

introduction: to compare the effects of 0.05% sodium fluoride (naf) mouthrinse, gc tooth mousse and gc mi paste plus on white spot formation inhibition. materials and methods: thirty pairs of extracted human premolars were cut in half mesio-distally with a disc. the teeth were coated with nail varnish, except a part of the buccal and/or lingual enamel, which was used as the test area, and then ...

Many vertebrates replace teeth through shedding of the functional tooth. New analyses of a fossil fish demonstrate that shedding involved tooth resorption, a primitive feature in bony fishes, but absent in sharks and their relatives.

Whole-organ regeneration has great potential for the replacement of dysfunctional organs through the reconstruction of a fully functional bioengineered organ using three-dimensional cell manipulation in vitro. Recently, many basic studies of whole-tooth replacement using three-dimensional cell manipulation have been conducted in a mouse model. Further evidence of the practical application to hu...

Aim. To report a case with an unusual drainage route of periapical inflammation exiting through the gingival sulcus of an adjacent vital tooth and review probable factors determining the diversity of the discharge routes of periapical inflammation. Summary. An 18-year-old male patient presented with periodontal abscess of tooth 46, which was found to be caused by a periapical cyst with an acute...

Fracture of anterior teeth due to trauma is the most frequent type of injury affecting permanent dentition. Despite the availability of a wide range of restorative materials, none could match the properties of natural tooth structure like translucency, wear resistance, and color stability. Hence fragment re-attachment is an excellent method of restoring fractured teeth. When the fractured fragm...

There are remarkable relations between the graded homological dimensions and the ordinary homological dimensions. In this paper, we study the injective dimension of a complex of graded modules and derive its some properties. In particular, we define the $^*$dualizing complex for a graded ring and investigate its consequences.

A study was conducted to determine the degree of tooth loss, factors influencing tooth loss, and the extent of prosthodontic rehabilitation in Sudanese adults (≥ 16 years old) attending outpatient clinics in Khartoum State. Pearson and multivariate analyses were used to examine the relationships between tooth loss and specific characteristics determined through interviews and clinical examinati...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate the variations of orthodontically induced tooth movement in the maxillary and mandibular arches between patients and the factors such as age, sex, and presence of an interference that might influence the amount of tooth displacement. METHODS By using a standardized experimental orthodontic tooth movement in 30 subjects, 57 premolars we...
