Malocclusion is a common problem in dogs. Linguoverted canine teeth (class I malocclusion) can cause palatal defects, oronasal fistulae, dental wear, and periodontal disease. Mandibular distoclusion (class II malocclusion), in which the mandibular arch occludes caudal to its normal position relative to the maxillary arch, can further contribute to lingual displacement of mandibular canine teeth. Traditionally, a flowable self-curing bisacrylic composite material has been used. The method described here uses a light cure acrylic denture base material utilizing multiple customized segments to construct the appliance to the desired shape and size necessary to achieve a functional incline plane.

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.

Effects of long-term steroid therapy on the results of dental age estimation using pulp/tooth ratio.

Article Synopsis
  • Forensic age estimation via dental radiographs can be inaccurate, particularly in long-term steroid users who show abnormal pulp chamber constrictions.
  • A study assessed eight steroid users in their 30s to 40s, measuring pulp and tooth areas to estimate age through canine radiographs, revealing significant discrepancies between estimated and actual ages.
  • The mean error was about 19-23 years, indicating that unusual pulp chamber findings could help infer a patient's medical history in forensic evaluations.

Comparative evaluation of intraoral scanners and a spectrophotometer for percent correct shade identification in clinical dentistry.

Clin Oral Investig

January 2025

Center for Dental Medicine, Department of Operative Dentistry and Periodontology, Faculty of Medicine and Medical Center, University of Freiburg, Hugstetter Str. 55, 79106, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

Objectives: The study aimed to assess the percent correct shade identification of four intraoral scanners (IOS) and a spectrophotometer, focusing on how reliably each device selects the correct tooth shade compared to a visual observer's selection. The research question addresses how much clinicians can trust the device-selected shade without visual verification.

Materials And Methods: Sixteen participants with natural, unrestored teeth were included.

Objective: To evaluate volumetric changes over time in teeth treated with the Hall Technique (HT) and their opposing teeth. Secondary aims included assessing occluso-vertical dimension (OVD), temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, and children's treatment perceptions.

Methods: Twenty-eight children (5-9 years-old) requiring HT treatment for one first primary molar were recruited.

Background: The collum angle, tooth dimensions, root length, and alveolar bone thickness have a significant impact on orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The boundaries of orthodontic tooth movement are determined by alveolar bone thickness and dimensions while the collum angle determines the appropriate positioning of the root relative to the cortical plate. This study aimed to compare the collum angle, crown dimensions, root length, and alveolar bone thickness of the upper and lower incisors, canines, and premolars in subjects with varying anteroposterior relationships.
