BACKGROUND This study reports the case of a 14-year-old girl in good state of health who presented with the apical third of the buccal root of the first upper right premolar that penetrated the alveolar buccal plate and overlying mucosa, being exposed to the oral environment. The treatment rationale is presented and compared with other therapeutic options described in the literature. METHODS ...

Background and aims. Predicting the teeth eruption time is a valuable tool in pediatric dentistry since it can affects scheduling dental and orthodontic treatments. This study investigated the relationship between the eruption time of first primary and permanent teeth and the variation in the eruption time considering socioeconomic status (SES) in a 9-year population- based cohort study. Materi...

several approaches are available to reduce pulsating torque components in permanent magnet motors. one of the known techniques is stator tooth shape modifications. this paper presents an integrated algorithm applicable for tooth shape optimization of permanent magnet motors. this method focuses on the reduced basis technique, finite element analysis and taguchi method and is conducted on tooth ...

Treatment of the young permanent tooth with a necrotic root canal system and an incompletely developed root is very difficult and challenging. Few acceptable results have been achieved through apexification but use of long-term calcium hydroxide might alter the mechanical properties of dentin. Thus, one alternative approach is to develop and restore a functional pulp-dentin complex. Procedures ...

OBJECTIVE To report the effects of a primary tooth trauma on the underlying permanent tooth germ. CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION A 12-year-old girl was referred to our clinic with a complaint of poor aesthetic appearance. The crown of the permanent maxillary left central tooth exhibited an increased clinical crown height with an 'enamel hyperplasia' in the cervical third and had hypop...

Ectopic eruption is the abnormal eruption of a permanent tooth that often causes root resorption of an adjacent primary tooth which can be noted during routine dental radiographic evaluation. The mesial eruption of the permanent first molar may be a local eruption problem or may indicate developmental arch circumference deficiency requiring further consideration. Early treatment is mandatory to...

PURPOSE Accurate and exact measurement is an important factor for generating meaningful results in any properly designed study. If all the participating examiners are able to yield similar results, it will be possible to evaluate the objective results of the study more easily and quickly. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-examiner reproducibility of histometric meas...
