Article Synopsis
- - This study examined how pH levels affect the piezoelectric response of dentin in root canal treated teeth by using extracted mandibular canines as specimens.
- - Thirty teeth samples were cut into small pieces and soaked in different pH solutions (4.4, 7.4, 10.4) before being tested under mechanical force.
- - Findings showed no significant differences in electrical response when force was applied vertically, but distinct variations were observed when applied along the dentinal tubules, indicating pH does influence dentin's piezoelectric properties.
Objective: To test validity of 2D Standardized Way to Assess Grafts (SWAG) ratings to assess 3D outcomes of bone grafting (ABG).
Patients: 43 patients (34 UCLP, 9 BCLP) with non-syndromic complete clefts, bone-grafted at mean age 9yrs/3mos, with available post-graft occlusal radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) (taken mean 4yrs/9mos post-ABG).
Main Outcome Measures: 2D occlusal radiographs rated twice using SWAG by 6 calibrated raters.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between incisor irregularity and anterior coronal caries by means of an arch-specific analysis among the U.S. population in the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES III) 1988-1994.

Methods: 22 maxillary casts of infants with UCLP from the Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery of NYU Langone Medical Center and 37 maxillary casts from infants without clefts from Sillman's longitudinal study were scanned by Ortho Insight 3D by Motion View Software, LLC (Chattanooga, TN) and measured using Checkpoint software (Stratovan, Davis, CA). The palatal and alveolar surface areas of each cast were measured.
