STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The presence of impacted third molars in the jaws is a common finding in the routine dental examination of patients. Concerning the odontogenic components of the dental follicle, it can be the origin of different types of odontogenic cysts and tumors. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to find feasible radiographic criteria to help differentiate between normal and path...

Introduction: Predicting the size of unerupted teeth during the mixed dentition period is a critical factor in managing the developing occlusion. The Nance radiographic method, Moyers mixed dentition space analysis and Johnston Tanaka method are among the most commonly used in clinical practice for detecting tooth sizearch length discrepancies. In view of reported secular trends, racial, and se...

Introdouction: The aim of this study was to compare the ratios of the mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors between natural teeth and those produced artificially by Ideal Makoo, Ivoclar, and Vitapan, in Iran. Materials and methods: The mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors was measured in 120 students, using calipers placed at the height of contour...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hypodontia is a common developmental abnormality of dentition. This study aimed to determine tooth width in patients affected with mild hypodontia and compare the results with a control group without tooth agenesis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The orthodontic records of 25 patients with congenital missing of one or two teeth (hypodontia group), and 25 subjects with full dentitio...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Dimensions of teeth have been available for a century. Some significant and clinically relevant aspects of dental esthetics, however, such as the crown width/length ratios, have not been presented in tooth morphology sources until recently. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to analyze the anatomic crowns of 4 tooth groups (central incisors, lateral incisors, canines, ...

introdouction: the aim of this study was to compare the ratios of the mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors between natural teeth and those produced artificially by ideal makoo, ivoclar, and vitapan, in iran. materials and methods: the mesiodistal width of the upper and lower central incisors was measured in 120 students, using calipers placed at the height of contour of the...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisor has been linked to differences in the size of the remaining teeth. Thus, the mesiodistal space required for definitive esthetic restoration in patients with missing maxillary lateral incisors may be reduced. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine whether a tooth size discrepancy exists in orthodontic patients with agen...

PURPOSE The aim of this investigation was to analyze the dimensions of clinical crowns and to classify the crown and the gingival type in the anterior teeth in Korean young adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS Casts were obtained from 50 subjects ranging in age from 24 to 32. Measurements of length and width were made on the casts using a pair of digital calipers on the entire dentition. Crown thick...
