Electron spin resonance (ESR) measurement data of 98 teeth from atomic-bomb survivors who received various radiation doses were analyzed in terms of possible solar light exposure by tooth position. Each tooth was divided into buccal and lingual parts for independent ESR measurement. We found that average buccal doses were larger than their corresponding lingual doses by 0.48 +/- 0.30 Gy (first ...

A healthy 41-year-old male presented for treatment and expressed a desire for smile enhancement. His chief complaint was that his teeth were discoloured and that his upper lip was too thin and flat and combined with deep facial lines made him look old. The oral hygiene status was good and there was no active gingival or periodontal disease. Extra-oral and intra-oral photos and stereophotogrammi...

been studied for R=Me, Et, i-Pr, and Ph. The reactions are studied by 15N and 31p NMR spectroscopy. Two 31p NMR resonances were observed for R3PAuCN and (R3P)2Au+ species. However, for the 15N NMR, only averaged resonances were observed for R3PAuC15N and Au(C15N)2" species except for Et3PAuC15N, where two resonances were detected.The R3PAu13C15N complexes have also been prepared where R= Me, Et...

A total of 139 extracted mandibular second molars were injected with India ink and demineralized. They were made clear and transparent with methyl salicylate, and the anatomy of their canals was studied. It was found that 86.3% of mandibular second molars had two roots, 9.3% had one root, and 4.3% had three roots. Ninety percent of the mesial roots of the mandibular second molars with two roots...

intraosseous migration is an unusual developmental dental anomaly, which demonstrates horizontal movement of unerupted teeth only affecting the permanent dentition of the lower jaw. mandibular second premolar is the most common impacted tooth after the third molars and maxillary canines. distal migration of the second premolar is rare and early loss of the permanent first molar is one of the mo...

Macrodontia is a rare dental anomaly that refers to teeth that appear larger than normal. Generalised macrodontia can be associated with certain medical conditions and syndromes. This case report presents clinical and radiographic findings of isolated bilateral macrodontia in a 14-year-old child. The patient was referred to the clinic with local crowding of maxillary and mandibular teeth. Radio...
