Aim: To assess the co-relation between mandibular flare and thickness of lingual cortex in relation to the third molars.
Materials And Methods: Retrospectively obtained computed tomography (CT) data of 26 patients was used after classifying them into respective skeletal malocclusion groups (classes I, II, and III). Thickness of lingual cortex was measured at crestal, middle, and apical levels in mandibular third molar region. Two angular and two linear measurements were used to measure mandibular flare. Angular measurements included the angle between condylion (Co) and menton (Me), and between gonion (Go) and menton (Me). Linear measurements included bigonial and bicondylion widths.
Results: The two angular measurements did not differ significantly among the three skeletal malocclusion groups. Contrastingly, bicondylion width differed significantly among the three groups. Class II group showed no significant correlation between mandibular flare and lingual cortical thickness. Class III group demonstrated a significant negative correlation of linear and angular measurements with cortical bone thickness. Bicondylion width was significantly more in Class III group than in other skeletal groups, which proved an increased mandibular flare in patients with Class III malocclusion.
Conclusion: Increase in mandibular flare was associated with decreased thickness of lingual cortical bone.

: The aim of this in vitro investigation is to study the effect of endodontic cavity design on interfacial voids, class II resin composite sealing ability, and fracture resistance in mandibular premolars. : A total of 48 single-rooted mandibular premolars received compound class II preparations with either traditional flare access cavities (group A) or contracted endodontic cavity preparations (group B). Each study group was subdivided according to the coronal restoration into two sub-groups as α and β.

Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University, 11 ElSaraya Str, ElManyal, Cairo, 11553, Egypt.
Background: The aim of this trial was to evaluate the effect of a preoperative, single dose sublingual fast-dissolving piroxicam (20 mg) compared to placebo on postoperative pain at rest (POP), on biting (POPB) and on percussion (POPer) after single-visit endodontic treatment of asymptomatic mandibular molars with non-vital pulp.
Methods: Seventy patients randomly received either piroxicam or placebo 1 h before treatment (n = 35). Patients recorded their pain (POP and POPB) level 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days postoperatively using an 11-point numerical rating scale; POPer was assessed after 7 days.

The anatomical characteristics and the cortico-cancellous nature of bone disrupted by the presence of teeth make the mandible more vulnerable to fractures during traumatic injuries of the face. Fractures of the angle region constitute about 30% of mandibular fractures due to the change in dentate bone to the lateral flare of ramus, change in grain pattern of the bone, and presence of third molars all weakening the region making it fragile and thus fracture. Several studies corroborated the effectiveness of Champy's technique as to have the lowest complication rate when compared to the other techniques.
