Article Synopsis
- - The case discusses a 33-year-old female with posterior disc displacement (PDD) in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), characterized by persistent pain and restricted mouth opening due to idiopathic factors.
- - The diagnosis confirmed bilateral non-reducible PDD, and the treatment approach was open TMJ surgery (Discopexy) aimed at releasing and mobilizing the affected discs.
- - Post-surgery, the patient experienced significant improvement in mouth opening and relief from pain, highlighting the effectiveness of MRI for diagnosis and the benefits of a specific surgical incision in reducing complications.

Introduction And Aims: Violations of the mandibular canal (MC) and mental foramen (MF) and subsequent injuries to their neurovascular bundle have been reported after surgical and nonsurgical dental procedures. Besides using advanced technologies such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), clinicians should be aware of the anatomy and location of MC and MF in different populations. This study aims to describe the morphologic characteristics of the MF, MC, and its intrabony location in relation to the apices of mandibular posterior teeth in an Emirati subpopulation using CBCT.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous spectrum of hereditary genetic disorders that cause bone fragility, through various quantitative and qualitative defects of type 1 collagen, a triple helix composed of two α1 and one α2 chains encoded by and , respectively. The main extra-skeletal manifestations of OI include blue sclerae, opalescent teeth, and hearing impairment. Moreover, multiple genes involved in osteoblast maturation and type 1 collagen biosynthesis are now known to cause recessive forms of OI.

Department of Restorative Dentistry - Endodontics, College of Dentistry, Riyadh Elm University, P.O. Box 84891, Riyadh 11681, Saudi Arabia.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the root and root canal morphology of maxillary first premolar teeth in a Kuwaiti population using micro-computed tomography (μ- CT).
Materials And Methods: A total of 100 maxillary first premolars were scanned in a micro- computed tomographic device. The external anatomy (number of roots, distance from cementoenamel junction to apex, and presence of a palatal groove) and internal anatomy (number of canals and presence of apical deltas, lateral canals, and isthmi) of teeth were analyzed using descriptive analysis.
