OBJECTIVE To compare the anchorage effects of the implants and the headgear for patients with anterior teeth retraction in terms of incisor retraction, anchorage loss, inclination of maxillary incisors, positional change of maxillary basal bone, and treatment duration. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search for relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) prospective and retrospective con...

Abstract This study evaluated the dental displacement in dentures included different flasks and processed by Australian cycle modified or microwave. Metal pins were placed on teeth as reference for measurements: a) Incisal edge of maxillary mandibular central incisors, buccal cusp vestibular first premolars, mesiobuccal cusps second molars; b) Incisor to incisor, premolar molar molar; c) Left i...

Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) provides images without overlapping anatomical structures, which is important for the diagnosis and assessment of florid cemento-osseous dysplasia. This fibro-osseous lesion that affects alveolar process compromising teeth’ pulp vitality usually asymptomatic, bone expansion, cortical disruption, root resorption are uncommon. Due to its avascular characterist...

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...

The most common clinical sign of equine dental disease is quidding (dropping partially masticated food) due to oral pain from sharp dental overgrowths, which can also cause bitting problems and occasionally head shaking. Weight loss is not a common sign unless dental disease is severe and chronic. With apical infections of the cheek teeth, mandibular swellings and fistulas; or alternatively in ...
