AIM The purpose of this study was to determine the wear of stainless steel crowns (SSCs) in children, and compare the extent of microleakage in SSCs that had been repaired using either a cermet glass-ionomer cement (GIC) or a packable composite resin (CR). MATERIALS AND METHODS For the first aim, the occlusal surface thickness of 31 harvested SSCs (21 primary first and 10 second molars) and 1...

introduction: the aim of this study was to identify the root and canal morphology of maxillary first and second molars in iranian population by taking and analyzing cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) scans. methods and materials: extracted maxillary first ( n =125) and second ( n =125) molars were collected from native iranians and scanned by using a cbct scanner. the number of roots and conf...

An examination of 1732 conventionally treated maxillary molars was made in an attempt to determine the percentage of MB2 canals that could be located routinely. The teeth examined were 1096 first molars, 611 second molars, and 25 third molars. The results were recorded on a modified computer program over an 8-yr period of time. An interesting trend was noted. The MB2 canal was found in 802 (73....

Objective: To determine the chronological eruption parameters of primary teeth in Indian children. Study Design: A longitudinal study consisting of 135 healthy children (74 boys and 61 girls) attending three child health centres in the city of Hyderabad, India were randomly selected and followed from the emergence of the first to the last tooth. Ages and order of tooth eruption were studied for...

introduction: the aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal morphology of mandibular first and second molars using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) in northern iranian population and also to indicate the thinnest area around root canals. methods and materials: we evaluated cbct images of 154 first molars and 147 second molars. by evaluating three axial, sagittal and coronal planes of...
