Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare palatal thickness in adults for the placement of mini-implants for miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliances using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in a sample of Iraqi-Kurdish people.

Materials And Methods: CBCT scans from 68 Kurdish patients, aged between 18 and 30 years, were assessed retrospectively. Of these, 37 were males and 31 were females.

Background And Objectives: The intrusion of anterior teeth is a routine procedure in orthodontics, which has been performed efficiently with the help of mini-screws in the anterior region, especially the upper maxilla. This study aimed to investigate the effect of insertion angle and sociodemographic features on the success rate of mini-screws at the anterior maxillary region.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-nine patients (18 Females and 11 Males) aged 18-40 years old were involved in the current study.

Article Synopsis
  • * 48 teeth were imaged with various X-ray exposure settings, and the diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by five dental radiologists, who assessed both fractures and image quality.
  • * Results indicated that a dose reduction of about 20% could be achieved without compromising diagnostic accuracy, and higher resolution settings did not significantly enhance image quality.

Objectives: The evidence for diagnostic accuracy using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for dental applications depends heavily on research, but there is little knowledge of whether the model used affects the diagnostic accuracy results. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of different designs of anthropomorphic models on diagnostic accuracy for the specific task of dental root fracture detection.

Methods: Horizontal or oblique root fracture was induced in 24 of 48 permanent maxillary incisors.
