Background: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is often used in different fields of dental science, especially complex anatomical districts like the endodontic one. The aim this study to propose a low-dose CBCT protocol useful cases lesions. Methods: device was MyRay Hyperion X9-11x5; low dose setting machine 90 Kv, 27 mAs, CTDI/Vol 2.89 mGy. absorbed organ doses have been evaluated with an anthropomorphic phantom loaded thermoluminescent dosimeters positioned at level sensitive organs...
To assess and compare volumetric shape changes of the orbital cavity in patients treated with tooth-borne (TB) bone-borne (BB) rapid maxillary expansion (RME).Forty adolescents bilateral cross-bite received (TB group = 20; mean age 14.27 ± 1.36 years) or (BB 14.62 1.45 expander. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) were taken before treatment (T1) 6-month after expander activation (T2). Volumetric cavities detected by referring to a specific 3D digital technology involving deviation analysis...
Abstract Background The aim of this study is to evaluate through computed tomography differences in cortical plate thickness condyle patients with different facial vertical skeletal pattern.Methods final sample retrospective included CBCT exams 60 adult subjects (mean age 33.2 ± 5.6), selected from the digital archive a private practice. were assigned 3 groups according values Frankfurt-mandibular plane angle: hyper- normo- and hypodivergent group. volume rendering mandible was obtained...
Angle's Class III is one of the most complex malocclusions to treat. In nongrowing skeletal class malocclusions, choice between orthognathic surgery and camouflage treatment remains a challenge orthodontist. borderline cases, clinicians are called find best compromise functional aesthetics outcomes, with latter which often turns in avoiding worsening profile characteristics, makes these patients quite challenging. This case report describes patient malocclusion, upper incisor proclination...
The need for extractions in orthodontic treatment has always been a controversial topic. However, to date there is not specific clinical guideline that can help the clinicians deciding plan an extractive or non-extractive treatment. In this respect, must deal with patients' occlusal, functional, periodontal and aesthetics characteristics before planning including extraction. Considering absence of guidelines, choice extract teeth complicated, particularly borderline cases. case report, we...
Background: To investigate the accuracy and reproducibility of digital measurements Little’s Irregularity Index to evaluate if different degrees dental crowding could influence these measurements. Methods: The study included 40 models 5 sub-groups were created according severity crowding. In both cast, was recorded by measuring (1) mesiodistal width each tooth (2) arch lengths in maxillary mandibular jaw. Two operators performed on plaster using, respectively, a caliper OrthoAnalyzerTM 3D...
