Correlation of root dentin thickness and length of roots in mesial roots of mandibular molars.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to analyze the relation of tooth length and distal wall thickness of mesial roots in mandibular molars at different locations (ie, 2 mm below the furcation and at the junction between the middle and apical third).

Methods: Forty-five mandibular first molars were taken, and the length of each tooth was measured. Then, specimens were divided into three groups according to their length: group I-long (24.

Medpore versus osseous augmentation in genioplasty procedure: A comparison.

Background: Genioplasty deals with small area of craniofacial complex, namely, chin. Alloplastic chin implants and sliding genioplasty represent the two currently accepted methods of chin augmentation. Chin augmentation with medpore has become popular in the recent years.
