Maxillary lateral incisors usually exhibit a single root with a single canal. However, maxillary lateral incisor teeth with unusual morphology of root canal system are frequently reported. These cases of variable root canal anatomy can be treated well by nonsurgical endodontic methods. A detailed description of root canal morphology is fundamental for successful endodontic treatment. Treatment using an operating microscope, radiographs from different angles, and cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) can produce more predictable endodontic outcomes.

This case report introduced a new technique to manage buccal deep isolated recession with loss of keratinized tissue. This technique is indicated where there is a good amount of keratinized tissue lateral to the defect and deep vestibule. In this case report, a 27-year-old male patient was referred to a periodontal surgery clinic for the management of an 8 mm buccal recession with loss of keratinized tissue related to auto-transplanted maxillary molar that caused discomfort to the patient.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, School of Dentistry, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran.
Background: Careful anatomical investigation of canalis sinuosus (CS) is essential to prevent damage to blood vessels and nerves in this area during surgical procedures, such as placing dental implants in the anterior maxillary region. This study investigated the relationship and distance between the CS and its adjacent structures.
Methods: A total of 400 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of Iranian adults aged 20-86 years were included in this retrospective study.
A cross-sectional study to correlate nasal profile and chin position with cephalometric lip profile.

Department of Surgery, Section of Dentistry, The Aga Khan University and Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan.
Objective: To determine the effect of the nose and chin on the cephalometric lip profile.
Methods And Material: The pre-treatment lateral cephalograms of 177 adult patients with no history of orthodontic treatment were manually traced. The sample size was divided into three vertical and horizontal groups using angle ANB and MMA to assess the difference in nose and chin forms.

Department of Reconstructive Dentistry and Gerodontology, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland;; Department of Prosthetic Dentistry and Material Science, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany.
Objective: To compare the in vitro scan accuracy (trueness and precision) of recently introduced wireless intraoral scanners (IOSs) to commonly used wired IOSs in different fixed partial denture (FPD) situations.
Methods: Three partially edentulous maxillary models with implants located at different sites (lateral incisors [Model 1]; right canine and first molar [Model 2]; right first premolar and first molar [Model 3]) were digitized with wireless (Primescan 2 [P2] and TRIOS 5 [T5]) and wired (Primescan [P1] and TRIOS 3 [T3]) IOSs (n=14 per IOS-model pair). The models were also digitized with an industrial-grade optical scanner for their reference scans.
Comparative analysis of estimated age by pulp-to-tooth area ratio using CBCT in three different teeth on a subset of Hyderabad population: A preliminary study.
J Forensic Odontostomatol
December 2024
Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Army College of Dental Sciences.
Objectives: The study aims to evaluate the pulp-to-tooth area ratio in permanent maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines for age estimation using three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography images.
Methods: Hundred cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of patients aged between 12-70 years were retrospectively studied using NNT Viewer software version 13. Pulpal and teeth area were evaluated with the "area tool" in the acquired images in all three planes, and the pulp-to-tooth area ratio (PTR) was calculated with the measurements obtained.
