Abstract Purpose Recently, cone beam computed tomography ( CBCT ) has become widely used for oral and maxillofacial imaging. Twenty dry mandibles were conventional multislice CT scanned to evaluate if there is a statistically significant difference between the bone density values they produce, defined as gray values, determine any correlation them. Materials Methods Using software radiographic template, scan images overlapped, two data sets created, each one giving respective (voxel value [...
In recent years, clear aligners have diversified and evolved in their primary characteristics (material, gingival margin design, attachments, divots, auxiliaries), increasing indications efficiency. We overviewed the brands of used Italy reviewed literature on evolution based mentioned above by consulting main scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library). Inclusion exclusion criteria were established. The data collected a purpose-made collection form...
Calcification of the interclinoid ligament (ICL) sella turcica, or turcica bridging, has been associated with severe craniofacial deviations. Despite no comprehensive study on bridge, a relationship tooth and eruption disturbances reported. In order to investigate whether congenital absence second mandibular premolar, presence palatally displaced canine (PDC), is retrospective was performed.
ABSTRACT Background: The use of computer software and stereolithography for dental implant therapy has significantly increased during the last few years. aim this study was to evaluate compare mean accuracy maximum deviations values placement using two stereolithographic (SLA) guide systems. Materials Methods: Twenty patients were selected 227 implants inserted bone‐, tooth‐ mucosa‐supported SLA surgical guides. Thirty‐one guides, both single‐ multiple‐type, used. Some single‐type guides...
Mini-implant stability is primarily related to bone quality and quantity. This study evaluated alveolar cortical thickness density differences between interradicular sites at different levels from the crest, assessed adolescents (12-18 years of age) adults (19-50 age), males females, upper lower arch, anterior posterior region jaws buccal oral side.In this retrospective study, 48 Computed Tomography scans, performed for surgery purposes were selected dental records 3,223 Caucasian...
Abstract Objective: To analyze the prevalence, distribution, clinical features, and relationship with dental anomalies of maxillary canine impaction. Materials Methods: The complete pretreatment records 1674 orthodontic patients were examined. Subjects impacted canines divided into two study groups: a palatally displaced (PDC) group (114 patients) buccally (BDC) (37 patients). These compared to control 151 who randomly selected from initial sample without significance associations between...
Abstract Background To evaluate the relationship between gender, ethnicity/citizenship, clinical phenotype, total prevalence, and various congenital malformations associated with oral clefts (OC) in Italy across period 2001–2014. Methods A retrospective analysis (2001–2014) was conducted based on National Congenital Malformation Registries network of (Emilia-Romagna Registry Birth Defects [IMER] Registro Toscano Difetti Congeniti [RTDC]), which were analyzed to investigate time trends,...
The aim of this study was to compare retrospectively the effect three different treatment protocols on healing outcome in patients with established medication-related osteonecrosis jaw (MRONJ).A total 34 MRONJ were recruited from Department database and divided according a group (G1) two control groups (G2 G3). G1 treated antibiotic therapy, surgery, leukocyte- platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF), photobiomodulation; G2 therapy surgery; G3 photobiomodulation. Various clinical variables analyzed...
The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficacy and accuracy maxillary arch transverse expansion using Invisalign® clear aligner system without auxiliaries other than Invisalign attachments. Knowing a movement through allows clinician plan treatment with greater precision achieve expected result faster. study group included 28 patients mean age 17 ± 3.2 years. protocol for all selected application auxiliaries, except attachments; in no case were tooth extraction or interproximal enamel...
To test the null hypothesis that circumaxillary sutures do not show bony displacement in response to rapid maxillary expansion (RME) therapy.Subjects consisted of eight growing patients (two male and six female) with Angle Class I malocclusion, bilateral posterior crossbite, transverse deficiency, deep palatal vault, dental crowding at start treatment. A Hyrax expander was used for each patient, activation protocol required screw be turned three times per day (0.25 mm turn) an average 18...
To determine the prevalence of impacted mandibular second molar (MM2) and association between MM2 impaction crowding. The clinical significance angle first space (MM1) anterior margin ramus in were also evaluated.In this retrospective study , from dental records 2,945 caucasian young orthodontics patients 40 subjects with included a group (SG) compared control (CG) 200 without impactions. crowding inclination MM2, distance MM1 ramus, canine relationships, lower centre line discrepancy...
Background: The prevalence of impacted maxillary canine is reported to be between 1% and 3%.The lack monitoring the delay in treatment can cause different complications such as: displacement adjacent teeth, loss vitality neighbouring shortening dental arch, follicular cysts, ankylosis, recurrent infections, pain, internal resorption external combination these factors.An appropriate diagnosis, accurate predictive analysis early intervention are likely prevent undesirable effects.The objective...
Some authors have recently postulated the possibility of a unilateral contraction palate in patients with crossbite. This study aimed to investigate palatal dimension size and morphology subjects functional posterior crossbite localize location through 3D analysis procedure.A sample (SS) 35 (mean age 9.2 ± 0.8 years), diagnosed crossbite, control (CS) 9.4 0.9 years) without were selected for this study. The digital models each patient analysed assess symmetry by measuring linear distances...
To test the null hypothesis that there is no increased prevalence of skeletal anomalies and/or normal variants as evidenced by cephalometric radiographs patients with palatally displaced canines (PDC).The treatment records 38 white subjects between 14 and 20 years old PDC were collected evaluated retrospectively. Inclusion criteria for study required case include good-quality panoramic lateral first four cervical vertebrae clearly visible. The recorded each included sella bridge,...
To evaluate bone age determination using MRI of the hand and wrist.A total 179 (78 female 101 males, 11 to 16 years old) subjects 252 normal volunteers met entrance criteria. A low field open magnet (0.2 Tesla) was used for this study; coronal T1-weighted images with a slice thickness 1.3mm were acquired. Two blinded radiologists evaluated studies following elements considered: appearance cartilage, vacuolization provisional calcification, progression ossification, complete ossification....
