Evaluation of the effect on the permanent tooth germ and the adjacent teeth by finite element impact analysis in the traumatized primary tooth.

Background: One of the primary concerns in the paediatric emergencies is traumatic dental injuries.

Objective: This study aimed to create trauma in primary teeth and reveal its effects finite element analysis.

Design: Three-dimensional models were created using cone-beam computed tomography images, representing a maxillary primary central incisor.

The utilization of decision trees on orthopantomographic and lateral panoramic graphs for the diagnosis of unilateral anterior disc displacement of the temporomandibular joint.

Background: Investigation is to utilize decision trees in conjunction with orthopantomography (OPT) and lateral panoramic graphy (LPG) to diagnose unilateral anterior disc displacement (ADD) of the temporomandibular joint.

Methods: In this study, 161 patients with images obtained through all three imaging methods, MRI, OPT, and LPG, were selected from the archives. The participants were categorized into two groups: the study group, comprising 89 patients with unilateral anterior disc displacement, and the control group, consisting of 72 healthy individuals.
