introdouction:the styloid process(sp) has the potential for calcification and ossification. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of different patterns of elongation and calcification of the sp. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 400 digital panoramic radiographs taken for routine dental examination in the dental school of shiraz university were evaluated fo...

a case of multiple pulp stones, a supernumerary tooth and a congenitally missed tooth accompanied by several developmental dental anomalies concurrently affect- ing the upper and lower anterior teeth in an iranian healthy girl is reported. devel- opmental tooth abnormalities are usually found in conjunction with certain diseases or conditions. in the present case, although the patient had consa...

conclusions the relationship between calcification of tooth and maturation of cervical bones was significant. this suggested that tooth calcification stages from panoramic radiographs might be clinically useful as a maturity indicator. results all correlation values obtained were statistically significant (p < 0.001). correlations between dental development and skeletal maturity stage due to cv...

conclusion the relationship between calcification of teeth and maturation of cervical bones was significant. bone maturation can be predicted by using teeth calcification stages, especially in the second molar, first molar and lateral incisor. results correlations between the two stages were observed in the first and second premolars, canine and central incisors. all these correlations were sig...

BACKGROUND The aim was to investigate the extent to which it is possible to diagnose suspected carotid calcification from dental panoramic radiography (PR) and to establish an association to periodontal risk. METHODS 824 PRs from one dental practice were investigated. Parameters considered were gender, age, bone loss - age index, tooth loss, periodontal risk and suspected carotid calcificatio...

objectives: this study aimed to compare the in vitro cytotoxic activity of propolis, a bioactive material made by the honeybee, and calcium hydroxide (ch) and their effect on formation of mineralized nodules by human dental pulp stem cells (hdpscs). methods: in this in vitro study, hdpscs were obtained from the cellular and molecular oral biology laboratory of school of dentistry, shahid behesh...

Permanent upper canine tooth impaction is related to both genetic causes and nutritional and local causes. Based on radiographic studies of children, Haavikko, 1974, calculated the median of the degree of calcification for each tooth according to age. The aim of our study was to establish associations between certain radiographic variables with respect to upper canine tooth buds and nutritional...

Objective: the objective of the study was to determine the relationship between dental calcification stages and skeletal maturation in a Peruvian sample. Methods: panoramic, cephalometric and carpal radiographs of 78 patients (34 girls and 44 boys) between 7 and 17 years old (9.90 ± 2.5 years) were evaluated. Stages of tooth calcification of the mandibular canine, first premolar, second prem...

radiographic evaluation of the third molar tooth to determine its position and degree of development is an important part in diagnosis and treatment planning, as well as in forensic dentistry procedures. the objective was to investigate the developmental stages of third molars in relation to chronologic age, gender and location (maxillary/mandibular) in an iranian population.the data were colle...

We focused attention of the calcification ability of coral cells. A section of coral was transplanted to the cavity of a tooth and observed microscopically for calcification after 7 days (LI group) and 14 days (LII group) of artificial irradiation. Observation after 7 days (NI group) and 14 days (NII group) without artificial irradiation was used as a control. Calcification was observed in the ...
