Estimation of the calcium content of intact tooth by decalcification and ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid method - A analytical quantitative study.

Background: Teeth, one of the strongest structures of the human body, stands as reliable evidence in forensic odontology. The gender and age can be estimated from a tooth using various methods. We aimed to estimate the calcium content of an intact tooth and compare it with its average weight and dimension and also to find the possible correlation with the age and gender of an individual.

The Role of Supraerupted and Distoverted Maxillary Third Molars in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorder: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

Objective Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a multifactorial disease that is classified into muscular and joint disorders. The etiology of TMD is unknown but it is related to various factors such as bruxism, uncorrected high dental restorations, and occlusal prematurities. This study aims to provide treatment modalities for TMD patients with supraerupted and/or distoverted maxillary third molars that have premature contact with the opposing arch.
