Background: This study aimed to assess the effect of tooth shape ratio on mandibular incisor arrangement. Materials and methods: The sample included dental casts of some dental students and orthodontic patients having Class I dental and skeletal patterns with normal occlusion and severe crowding. The sample was divided into two groups according to the severity of crowding into: group I had Clas...

Background: Tooth extraction is a procedure with the highest prevalence of causing alveolar bone damage. After extraction, dimension will change. This needs balance formation and resorption. Osteocytes are most common cells in have an essential role formation. study explores effect bovine tooth grafts on number osteocytes socket preservation process post-dental extraction. Methods: A total 28 W...

BACKGROUND To validate the concept of early implant placement for use in the esthetically sensitive anterior maxilla, clinical trials should ideally include objective esthetic criteria when assessing outcome parameters. METHODS In this cross-sectional, retrospective 2- to 4-year study involving 45 patients treated with maxillary anterior single-tooth implants according to the concept of early...

As cases become more complex, aspects related to the patient’s occlusion re-establishment must be observed, including the recovery of the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD), which is defined as the vertica...

In the last years the treatment of non-inflammatory periodontal diseases has greatly changed. Apico-coronal dimension of gingival tissue is not considered to be of utmost importance, but significance of tissue thickness over each tooth is stressed. Purpose of this study was to show results of conservative and surgical treatment of gingival recession. Sample consisted of two groups of subjects, ...

incomplete adaptation of stainless steel crown margins leads to microleakage. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of tooth preparation on microleakage of stainless steel crowns (sscs) placed on mesiodistally reduced primary mandibular first molars.in this in vitro study, 60 primary mandibular first molars with reduced mesiodistal dimension were selected. pulp cavities were filled w...
