BACKGROUND: Variations were observed when the same parameter was analyzed in different types of orthodontic diagnostic records affecting our diagnosis and treatment planning. We appraised the linear distance from most prominent point of upper and lower incisors to AB plane from standardized photograph of study models and compare with lateral cephalogram. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 30 sta...

OBJECTIVE To verify, via CBCT, the existence of a definable distance for bodily intrusion of maxillary incisors, and its correlation to age, sex and/or facial biotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample consisted of sagittal sections obtained from 79 CBCTs of 220 maxillary incisors correctly aligned on their osseous base (maxillary plane/long axis between 105° and 115°). The same sagittal secti...

The purpose of this case report is to describe the successful endodontic treatment and surgical management of a unesthetic geminated permanent maxillary lateral incisor tooth. Geminated maxillary incisor clinically revealed bifid crown with coronal groove and intraoral periapical radiograph showing radiolucent lesion with sclerotic border. orthograde root canal treatment was performed. surgery ...

Single visit reconstruction of the fractured crown can be completed with composite resins if there is no bleeding due to the soft tissue injury. Clinical inspection revealed a complex crown fracture of the central incisor as well as a simple horizontal fracture of the lateral incisor crown of the enamel-dentin type. Vertical fracture separated the palatal enamel wall from the rest of the latera...

The authors’ intention was to present ceramic restoration repair as a reliable, low-cost and low-risk procedure, by demonstrating 3 cases in the aesthetic zone. Intraoral ceramic repair was chosen for the small porcelain fracture of the maxillary left central incisor and for the large porcelain surface detachment of the maxillary left lateral incisor, since patients did not want to replace the ...

INTRODUCTION The present study was designed to clarify whether the bilateral cooperation in the human periodontal-masseteric reflex (PMR) differs between central incisors and canines. METHODS Surface array electrodes were placed on the bilateral masseter muscles to simultaneously record the firing activities of single motor units from both sides in seven healthy adults. During light clenching...

Objective. This report presents a comprehensive esthetic treatment with adhesive tooth-colored restorations in a combination with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers of diastema in an orthodontic patient with relapse. Case Report. A 36-year-old female patient consulted about 1.5-2 mm midline diastema after an orthodontic relapse of replacing missing central incisors with lateral incisors and dark-colo...

AIMS To establish whether adolescent orthodontic patients with hypodontia have a preference between the aesthetic outcomes of two treatment strategies for lateral incisor agenesis. MATERIALS/METHODS Standardized photographs of pre-orthodontic patients with missing lateral incisors were manipulated to produce images that represented space opening and tooth replacement in the lateral incisor sp...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to explore differences in crown-to-root angulation between lateral incisors adjacent to palatally impacted canines (PICs) and lateral incisors adjacent to normally erupted canines (NECs). METHODS Orthodontic records of 100 subjects (51 with PICs and 49 with NECs) were reviewed. Crown-to-root angulations of all lateral incisors were measured manually o...
