BACKGROUND The prevalence of impacted maxillary canine is reported to be between 1% and 3%. The lack of monitoring and the delay in the treatment of the impacted canine can cause different complications such as: displacement of adjacent teeth, loss of vitality of neighbouring teeth, shortening of the dental arch, follicular cysts, canine ankylosis, recurrent infections, recurrent pain, internal...

. AbstrAct Gender determination of skeletal remains is a part of many medico-legal as well as anthropological examinations. Many anatomical structures have been studied, but the teeth and their measurements seem to be the most reliable method since teeth represent the most durable and resilient part of the skeleton. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of a method with whic...

Panoramic radiographs from 1026 patients were examined for the presence of completely impacted teeth. The prevalence of completely impacted teeth in the edentulous jaw was lower than that in the dentate jaw in both the upper and lower jaws. The prevalence of completely impacted third molars in the edentulous jaw was also lower than that in the dentate jaw. However, there was no difference in th...

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of panoramic radiography and the buccal object rule in intraoral periapical radiography for localization of impacted maxillary canine teeth. Methods: A total of 20 panoramic radiographs depicting 28 displaced maxillary canines were evaluated. The ratio of the mesiodistal width of the impacted canine to the mesiodistal width of the...

Background: This study intended to determine the colour distribution of the maxillary, central, lateral and canine teeth and to investigate the effect of age and gender on this colour distribution. Materials and methods : The colour measurements of the maxillary right central, lateral and canine teeth were carried out by the Vita Easyshade V (Vita Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) spectrophot...

Methods: Fifteen healthy mature cats were randomly selected for this study. The study was performed on four canine teeth of each cat. Cats were anesthetized and then radiographs were taken from the canine teeth. Clas...

The orthodontic records of 685 patients referred for surgical exposure of an unerupted impacted maxillary canine tooth were examined. The condition was more common among females than males, slightly less than 2:1. The impacted teeth had a palatal-labial ratio of 3:1. All of the teeth were exposed using the open surgical technique and in 98% of cases the tooth erupted and was orthodontically ali...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate patients treated for impacted mandibular canines through a combined surgical and orthodontic approach. STUDY DESIGN The cases which were made button operations of impacted mandibular canines were selected from 5100 panoramic radiographs taken from patients who made use of our oral and maxillofacial surgery services between January 1998 to April 2...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of pulse oximetry to detect blood flow within the canine tooth of dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS Dogs aged 18-138 months presenting for oral treatment and meeting the inclusion criteria underwent pulse oximetry evaluation of at least one canine tooth. Oxygen saturation (SpO2) and pulse rate values were acquired from vital cani...
