Isolated hypodontia is the most common human malformation. It caused by heterozygous variants in various genes, with WNT10A being cause. and WNT10B are paralogs that likely evolved from a ancestral gene after its duplication. Recently, an association of oligodontia (severe tooth agenesis) has been reported. We performed mutational analysis our cohort 256 unrelated Thai families kinds isolated dental anomalies. In 7 afflicted anomalies we detected 4 missense . whole exome sequencing patients...

Abstract Background Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) is a degenerative disease and manifests itself with pain limitation of movement in the jaws. Arthrocentesis alone or combination intraarticular injections one most commonly used treatment methods these patients. The aim study to examine effectiveness arthrocentesis plus tenoxicam injection compare it patients TMJ-OA. Methods Thirty TMJ-OA who were treated randomly either (TX group) (control examined. Maximum mouth opening...

Background:Oral breathing causes many changes in the facial anatomical structures adult patients. In this study we aimed to determine effects of long-term oral (>5 years) on maxillary sinus volumes among male Material andMethods:We accessed medical records 586 patients who had undergone cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for any reason between September 2013 and April 2014. Patients cone-beam dental volumetric scans answered a questionnaire about were screened retrospectively. Cone (I-Cat,...

Introduction: In this study, we investigated the effects of long-term antihypertensive treatment with calcium channel blockers or beta on bone mineral density maxilla, as determined by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and methods: This retrospective study was conducted CBCT images men older than 55 years who had received different dental indications. Data were grouped into three categories according to medication history patients: group A included patients been taking...

The aim of this article is to emphasize that the accidental displacement a lower third molar during extraction rare, but potentially serious complication. We present two case reports on tooth dislodged into submandibular space following its removal from sockets and subsequent management rare Differences in direction displacement, size fragment, delay retrieval, tissue reactions can all influence potential complication hence no one technique uniformly applicable. Though complication,...

The aim of this study is to determine the reliability panoramic radiograph (PR) as a screening tool for detection calcified carotid atheroma (CCA) by comparing it with Doppler ultrasonography (DU) examination. A second was evaluate relationship among CCA, systemic diseases, smoking, and body mass index in an older population.A total 1,650 PRs patients aged over 45 years (736 males 914 females) were randomly selected. All had been referred Faculty Dentistry, Afyon Kocatepe University,...
