Purpose: To compare the mesiodistal space measurements of single-implant sites on panoramic and oblique images generated by cone-beam CT (CBCT).

Methods: CBCT images for 101 single-implant sites of 66 patients referred for pre-surgical radiographic implant planning were selected for the study; 15-mm-thickness panoramic images were reformatted and used for measuring mesiodistal space dimensions. The measurements were repeated and compared with those of thin oblique images (200-300 μ) using Wilcoxon signed rank test. The correlation between measurements in addition to intra-observer agreement was evaluated by Pearson's correlation coefficients.

Results: All mesiodistal space measurements on panoramic and oblique images generated by CBCT were strongly correlated and there were no statistically significant differences between them (P < 0.05).

Conclusions: Both panoramic and oblique images generated by CBCT can be used for measuring mesiodistal space dimensions of single-implant sites.

Residual dentin thickness and biomechanical performance of post-and-core-restored mandibular premolars: A finite element analysis study.

J Prosthet Dent

Electronic address:

Statement Of Problem: Endodontically treated teeth often require post-and-core restorations for structural support because of extensive hard tissue loss. Assessment of the effect of the residual dentin thickness on the biomechanical performance of these restorations is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the residual dentin thickness in mandibular premolars after post-and-core restorations using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to analyze the stress distribution with finite element analysis (FEA).

Introduction: Malocclusion, a common dental issue in children, necessitates early intervention to mitigate future orthodontic challenges. Predictive methodologies like Tanaka and Johnston analysis (TJA) and Boston University approach (BUA) aid in mixed and primary dentition analysis for optimal treatment planning. This study aimed to compare TJA and BUA in predicting the mesiodistal width of unerupted permanent canines and premolars and assess gender-based variations.

Department of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine, Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Aim And Background: The Hall technique preformed metal crowns (HT-PMCs) are allegedly oversized, temporarily altering inter-arch relationships. Intra-arch dimensions and leeway space (LWS) HT effects are unknown.

Aim: To study single HT-PMC intra-arch effects and treated tooth dimensional changes.

The role of orthodontics in the management of tooth wear.

Pathological tooth wear is a dental problem that affects all age groups and appears to be increasing in prevalence. A subset of these patients may benefit from a combination of orthodontic and restorative care which will be discussed in this article. Orthodontics can help to create the necessary vertical, anterior-posterior and mesio-distal space for restorative work, reducing the need for tooth reduction and lessening the biological costs of restorative care, helping to reposition the gingival margins where this impacts upon aesthetics, as well as correcting co-existing malocclusion.
