Article Synopsis
- Age-at-death estimation is crucial in forensic dentistry, especially when visual identification isn't possible, but estimating dental age in adults poses challenges since most teeth develop fully by age 18.
- The study investigates the mesio-distal pulp-to-tooth ratio of upper third molars in a sample of 135 Jordanian adults to see if it can reliably estimate age through X-ray imaging.
- Results show a moderate negative correlation between age and the pulp-to-tooth ratio, indicating that while there is some relationship, it's not strong enough to be a reliable age estimator due to high variability in third molar development.
Unlabelled: Reluctance of dentists to treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients represents a major concern. Many efforts have been extended towards the documentation of the extent of this reluctance and speculation of factors that influence it.
Objectives: Assess the willingness of dentists in Jordan to treat HIV-infected patients.
Rigorous efforts have recently been made to reduce the recurrence of implant/abutment joint failure in single-tooth implant restorations. However, the current knowledge about the stability of implant/abutment joints in an external hexagon implant system is incomplete. We reviewed clinical data regarding single-tooth implant treatment with Brånemark implants, specifically the CeraOne abutment system (Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden).

Purpose: This study investigated the effect of different cyclic loading periods on abutment screw loosening and bending resistance of a single-tooth external hexagon implant system.
