mobile coronal fragment attached to the gingiva with or without a pulp exposure. Radiographic findings may reveal a radiolucent oblique line that comprises crown and root in a vertical direction in primary teeth and in a direction usually perpendicular to the central radiographic beam in permanent teeth. While radiographic demonstration often is difficult, root fractures can only be diagnosed radiographically. Treatment objectives: to maintain pulp vitality and restore normal aesthetics and function
In this experiment, we observed the relationship between the number of domatia, the number of mites and the size of leaves of water oaks (Quercus nigra L.) and sweet gum (Liquidambar styraciflua). Domatia are small chambers often located on the lower surface of leaves that serve as homes for predaceous mites. In return, the mites protect the plant from herbivory and pathogen attack. This type of interaction between plants and mites is a form of mutualism, more specifically facultative mutualism.
Introduction- The purpose of this paper is to discuss a rarest case of hidden maxillary tooth in infra-orbital space following trauma. Pediatric dental injuries leading to traumatic tooth displacement is common in children, although it very rare and sometimes challenging to diagnose and treat traumatically embedded tooth in vital tissue spaces which may lead to serious complications if ignored. Case report- A 4-year old male child was brought with injuries on his face and mouth and swelling over
an important parameter in forensic identification. The morphological differences of the teeth can be applied to identify the gender from dental remains (7). Identification of sex have always better edge than age, wherever it is possible as the investigation is simplified because then only missing persons of one sex need to be considered. Pelvis and scull bones are used for sex determination other than teeth based on skeleton.The measurement of humerus and femur head diameter also forms other materials
indicated in a systemic review that prevalence of dentinal wear varied from 0 to 82% for deciduous teeth, while in permanent dentition was from 0 to 54%. And according to his study the wear in deciduous tooth increases with increasing age. However in another study by Nahás Pires Corrêa et al. (2011), he linked high prevalence of erosion with frequent consumption of soft drinks containing acids
protective layer of lining that made of a mucous membrane and keratin. This layer protects the buccal cavity and helps to defend the body from being invaded by harmful bacteria, germs, and parasites. The Gingivae or “Gums” The buccal cavity is more than teeth and by understanding the structure of the buccal cavity, one can learn how to care for one’s oral hygiene appropriately. The gums are the pink tissue that holds and not only support the part of the tooth that is visible, but also the root of the tooth
children are the commonest contributors to dental caries include poor dental structure, poor oral hygiene, bacterial involvement and dietary factors etcetera. The most prevalent health problem in Australia is dental caries about 11 million decayed teeth documented newly in 2003. The Australian health system cost to oral diseases about 2.6 billion every year. This essay will state that water fluoridation is effective to treat dental problems. This will be supported
The term impacted has various meanings to people who attempt to define it. The common definitions of impaction are: - Delayed eruption beyond that normally expected in a particular individual (Aitasalo et al., 1972; Gensior and Strauss, 1974; Ohman and Ohman, 1980). -Impacted tooth is the tooth when contact with an adjacent object, such as tooth or bone, acts as physical barrier to the eruption of the tooth. (Adamson, KT, 1952; Blum, 1923; Hitchin, 1951; Shafer et al., 2012). -Archer (1975) defined

by standard methods. (2, 3) Teeth being the fundamental component of the masticatory apparatus of the skull are very resistant to post-mortem destruction and fragmentation in comparison to other hard tissues of the human body and are therefore crucial for civil and medico-legal identification. In
caries lesions as an effect of dental caries disease has been a challenge for a long time. The caries can be observed on all surfaces of the primary, permanent, and mixed dentitions. Surface lesions can then be calculated according to the type of the teeth (molars, premolars, incisors and canines) or according to the surfaces (proximal, occlusal and free smooth surfaces) (Burt., 1997; Ismail., 2004; Pitts., 2004). The lesions have to be assessed as to whether the caries is limited to enamel or if it
gum line. Once the plaque has become tartar, a dental cleaning is the only way that it can be removed.

masticatory capability has been achieved, patients will tolerate a poor appearance of the prosthesis.An aesthetic result in complete denture treatment is achieved through a deliberate combination of shape, color, arrangement, and orientation of prosthetic teeth the challenge is to develop a trial prosthesis that optimizes both appearance and function, consistent with both patient’s and dentist’s aesthetic sense and functional expectations Aesthetics has been given many definitions
Socket shield technique is becoming widely used in implant dentistry as a way of socket preservation to prevent from bone remodeling after extraction, this technique exceeds by far the other techniques of socket preservation in terms of final aesthetic outcome, regarding soft tissues around the implant-borne prosthesis. This report describes the replacement of a failed implant which was originally inserted immediately after a tooth was extracted using the socket shield technique, the second
open apex or the continued apical development of an incomplete root in teeth with a necrotic pulp(AAE,2003). Apexification can be achieved is two different ways: Long-term apexification with calcium hydroxide or Short-term apexification with MTA (One visit) This technique is performed on teeth that are non vital due to traumatic injury, carious exposure and teeth with anatomical variations such as den invaginatus with immature teeth. LONG-TERM APEXIFICATION WITH CALCIUM HYDROXIDE Calcium hydroxide
Occlusion: Occlusion can be defined very simply:”it means the contact between teeth”. the concept can be further refined by defining those contacts between the teeth when the mandible is closed and stationary as the static occlusion, and those contacts between teeth when the mandible is moving relative to the maxilla as the dynamic occlusion. [1] • there are few terms in occlusion which needs to be explained in ordr to understand occlusion in detail. • Static Occlusion: static occlusion is the contact
