Evaluation of maxillary canine root and maxillary bone thickness and density in patients with displaced maxillary canines: A cone-beam tomography study.

Introduction: This study investigated lateral incisor and canine morphology and dimensions, maxillary bone density, and volume in subjects with displaced maxillary canines.

Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images for 134 palatally displaced canines (PDCs), 57 buccally displaced canines (BDCs), and 87 nondisplaced canines (NDCs) were analyzed. Canine and lateral incisor dimensions, alveolar bone dimensions, and maxillary bone volume and density were measured.

Crown-root ratio of permanent teeth in cleft lip and palate patients.

Objectives: To determine root lengths of fully developed permanent teeth of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients and to define their crown-root (C/R) ratios.

Method: Crown height and root length of permanent teeth were measured from panoramic radiographs of 44 CLP patients and 37 controls. A total of 1397 teeth were measured, and C/R ratios were calculated.

Prevalence of dental anomalies in a population of cleft lip and palate patients.

Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate radiographically the prevalence of dental anomalies in a group of Jordanian cleft lip and/or palate subjects.

Design: This is a retrospective review of panoramic radiographs of 78 subjects with cleft lip and/or palate that were evaluated from their file records and investigated for possible dental anomalies.

Results: Dental anomalies were found frequently in cleft lip and/or palate subjects.

Mineralization of the stylohyoid ligament complex in a Jordanian sample: a clinicoradiographic study.

Purpose: To record the prevalence of anatomic variations and the associated symptoms of mineralized stylohyoid complex (MSHC) in a Jordanian sample, and to investigate the possible factors responsible for mineralization.

Patients And Methods: This study was conducted at the Dental Teaching Clinics of Jordan University of Science and Technology in patients referred for panoramic radiographs. The MSHC, on either side of panoramic radiographs, was mapped out on tracing paper, the length directly measured, and the true length calculated.
