Do erupting maxillary canines resorb adjacent teeth? A study focusing both on the ipsilateral and contralateral sides among individuals with unilaterally impacted canines.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of root resorption of teeth adjacent to permanent maxillary canines on both sides, by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), in pretreatment adolescent subjects with unilaterally impacted maxillary canines, and to define predictive factors for the root resorption.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective sample included 76 adolescents (38 boys, 38 girls, mean age 12.3 ± 2.

Accuracy of Age Estimation Using Three Dental Age Estimation Methods in a Young, Large, and Multiethnic Patient Sample.

European countries have become host countries for migrants and unaccompanied minors. However, many migrants arrive without identity documents. Many methods exist to estimate age; among them, several methods using dental age have been proposed.

Management of a rare mandibular giant cell tumor of bone by neoadjuvant denosumab therapy and surgery: A 4-year follow-up case report.

Introduction: Giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) is a very rare tumor encountered in the jaws and its histology is quite similar to the more common giant cell granuloma of the jaws (GCGJ). These two entities can be easily confused in maxillofacial region. They are classically managed surgically, but in some localizations and in specific medical-surgical contexts, neoadjuvant therapy with denosumab may be indicated.

[Primary failure of eruption and tooth resorption].

Introduction: The number of adult patients who seek an orthodontic treatment is increasing. These Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is defined as the partial or complete failure of eruption of at least one posterior tooth, without any mechanical obstacle. A better understanding of the biological mechanisms involved in PFE would enable to refine the diagnostic and prognostic criteria.

Frequent, quantitative bone planar scintigraphy for determination of bone anabolism in growing mice.

Background: To provide insight into bone turnover, quantitative measurements of bone remodeling are required. Radionuclide studies are widely used in clinical care, but have been rarely used in the exploration of the bone in preclinical studies. We describe a bone planar scintigraphy method for frequent assessment of bone activity in mice across the growing period.

Apically Extruded Debris in Curved Root Canals Using a New Reciprocating Single-File Shaping System.

Introduction: The present study addresses the influence of 5 different shaping file systems on apical debris extrusion (AED) using 2 different irrigation protocols.

Methods: One hundred fifty mandibular first permanent molars were divided into 2 groups and 10 subgroups. The mesial root canals were shaped using One Reci (MicroMega), WaveOne Gold Primary (Dentsply Sirona, York, PA), and ProTaper Next (Dentsply Sirona) using reciprocating motion and One Curve (MicroMega) and ProTaper Next using continuous rotation.

Microguided endodontics: Accuracy evaluation for access through intraroot fibre-post.

In this work, we intended to assess the reliability of guided endodontic technique to remove a bonded fibre-post when there are artefacts in the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images caused by composite dental materials. We mounted natural posterior teeth on ten simulated models. Forty fibre-post and composite-core restorations were inserted in the teeth.

Development of an innovative educational escape game to promote teamwork in dentistry.

Background: Escape games have proven to be an innovative pedagogical tool that allows students to use the professional skills they acquired. The appeal of the game lies in the stimulation of the players' minds and in the diversity of the puzzles.

Purpose/objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational tool aimed at cultivating team spirit and group cohesion in dentistry students through a fun collaborative activity that mobilises their knowledge and skills.

[Oral care and the Coronavirus COVID-19 epidemic].

The COVID-19 Coronavirus epidemic started in December 2019 in China, and progressed very quickly in France. Its consequences were the implementation of national measures such as the containment of the population, but also a disorganization of the healthcare system, in particular concerning oral care. Indeed, dental procedures produce aerosols which can be loaded with viral particles, and as such, constitute a major contamination route by the virus.

Hidden intra-mandibular carcinoma cuniculatum appearing in a patient with metastatic prostate cancer: a case report.

Background: Whereas the incidence of cancers increases, overall survival of cancerous patients improves. Preventing the onset of second primary cancer is a new public health challenge and requires a special attention from organ specialists. We report a rare case of carcinoma cuniculatum in a context of metastatic prostate cancer.

Prevalence and risk factors of root resorption of adjacent teeth in maxillary canine impaction, among untreated children and adolescents.

Objectives: The aim of this retrospective study was to assess in maxillary canine impaction cases both the prevalence of root resorption of adjacent teeth among untreated children and adolescents, and its associated risk factors.

Subjects And Methods: Sixty subjects (mean age 12.2 years; SD 1.

Diagnosis and Innovative Multidisciplinary Management of Hallermann-Streiff Syndrome: 20-Year Follow-Up of a Patient.

Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (HSS) is a rare congenital disorder that mainly affects head and face development. We described the different patterns of the disease throughout the whole growth period and provided innovative treatment steps. Indeed, early genioplasty and dental implantation before growth completion were performed.

Image quality evaluation of small FOV and large FOV CBCT devices for oral and maxillofacial radiology.

Objectives: Quantitative and qualitative image quality evaluation of two different dental CBCT scanners.

Methods: Two CBCT systems were evaluated in this study: one small field-of-view (FOV) (50-mm diameter) system that also allows two-dimensional (2D) dental panoramic imaging and one large FOV CBCT system (60-180-mm diameter). These devices were all tested with installed acquisition default modes and proprietary reconstruction software, enabling high-resolution bone imaging.

MSCT versus CBCT: evaluation of high-resolution acquisition modes for dento-maxillary and skull-base imaging.

Objectives: Our aim was to conduct a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of high-resolution skull-bone imaging for dentistry and otolaryngology using different architectures of recent X-ray computed tomography systems.

Material And Methods: Three multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) systems and one Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) system were used in this study. All apparatuses were tested with installed acquisition modes and proprietary reconstruction software enabling high-resolution bone imaging.
