A pulp stone is a calcified mass that develops in the dental pulp of any tooth. Despite many studies examining the relationship between pulp stone formation and non-oral factors, the methods used in t...
The study included 644 cone-beam computed tomography images, with 496 (50.9%) maxillary and 479 (49.1%) mandibular teeth. Of the investigated patients, 293 (45.5%) were men, and 351 (54.5%) were women...
Pulp stones in unerupted teeth were present in 24.2% of the examined dental jaws and 18.6% of the examined teeth. There was no statistically significant relationship between pulp stones and gender (p ...
The results support the idea that pulp stones can be present in any type of unerupted tooth. This study provides additional evidence of the increased incidence of pulp stones with age, systemic diseas...
Pre-eruptive intramural resorption (PEIR) is defined as an abnormal, well-circumscribed radiolucency within the coronal dentin of the tooth, which is often overlooked in plain radiographs. This study ...
CBCT images of 590 unerupted teeth were evaluated for the presence of PEIR, location of PEIR, number of lesions in the affected tooth, PEIR score, tooth angulation, tooth position, and pericoronal spa...
The tooth prevalence of PEIR was 13.6% among unerupted teeth. However, it was noteworthy that 19.2% of the unerupted teeth with PEIR were planned to be kept. PEIR was significantly associated with tra...
PEIR should be suspected in transverse, inverted-angulated, centrally positioned unerupted teeth, particularly in molars, with no pericoronal space. Further monitoring through CBCT is recommended in s...
The management of unerupted teeth does not always involve surgical removal. Instead, they could be utilized for artificial eruption or tooth transplantation. The present study emphasizes the significa...
Tooth resorption can occur either physiologically or pathologically and can be classified as internal or external. The term "external invasive resorption" (EIR) has been used to describe lesions origi...
The aim was to identify radiographic characteristics of mandibular third molars in young adults without symptoms or clinical signs of pericoronal infection....
An existing cross-sectional material, including records from clinical oral examination and panoramic radiographs (PANs) of university students, was submitted to retrospective analysis. The outcome var...
Analysis included 345 mandibular third molars in 189 participants (20% men, 80% women; mean age 20.7 years; SD ± 0.6). Symptomless and clinically pericoronitis-free mandibular third molars were charac...
Radiographic characteristics of symptomless mandibular third molars without clinical pericoronitis in young adults can be assessed from a PAN with 68-87% certainty....
These findings may prove useful when trying to exclude non-pathological mandibular third molars from diseased teeth....
There are different methods for determining the required space for unerupted teeth. However, the accuracy of these techniques varies depending on ethnic differences. Therefore, the current study was p...
The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 pairs of dental casts of patients aged 12-24 years old. The mesiodistal width of the teeth was measured with a digital caliper by two observers (I...
The Tanaka-Johnson formula had overestimation in the maxilla and mandible, which was statistically significant (p < 0.001). The values obtained from the Moyers tables in different confidence levels we...
The Tanaka-Johnson method was overestimated in the population of northern Iran. The 85% and 75% confidence levels of the Moyers table have the best clinical results for the maxilla and mandible, respe...
Maxillary central incisors (MCI) are the third most impacted teeth. Timely multidisciplinary management is indicated as unerupted incisors can cause functional- and appearance-related distress....
To assess the patient journey for children with unerupted MCI, including referral, clinical assessment, surgical management and follow-up treatment, and highlight areas for improvement, as well as ide...
A retrospective service evaluation of children aged 6-16 years who had surgical management of unerupted MCI under general anaesthetic (GA) between 2018 and 2021....
Fifty-two children with 62 unerupted MCI were identified. Mean age at referral was 8.8 years. Most children (82.7%) had supernumerary teeth in the anterior maxilla. Mean time between listing for GA an...
Most children referred were below 9 years (60.1%); these children had reduced OTB compared to those who had been referred at an older age. Stage of root development was also a significant predictor in...
Root resorption is a commonly recognized risk of orthodontic treatment and can range from minimal changes at the apex to aggressive and extensive erosion of tooth structure. The following report is ai...
Dental anxiety for unerupted mandibular third molars extraction in children under local anesthesia is a tricky problem. The purpose of this study was to compare psychological and physiologic findings ...
This prospective, single-center, double-blind study included children who required extraction of mandibular third molars under local anesthesia. All subjects were randomly divided into two groups: pie...
All 40 study patients (37.5% males and 62.5% females with an average age of 14.43 ± 1.32 years) completed the entire trial. There were no statistically significant differences observed between the two...
Compared with conventional osteotomy, piezosurgery can effectively reduce postoperative pain and have some effect in relieving dental anxiety for the extraction of unerupted mandibular third molars in...
Piezosurgery may be a viable technique for the extraction of unerupted mandibular third molars in children under local anesthesia....
The stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) axis plays a key role in alveolar bone metabolism during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Herein, the effects of the SDF-1/...
In many prosthodontic procedures, traditional computer-aided design (CAD) is often time-consuming and lacks accuracy in shape restoration. In this study, we innovatively combined implicit template and...
Ninety models of right maxillary central incisor (80 for training, 10 for validation) were collected. A DL model named ToothDIT was trained to establish an implicit template and a neural network capab...
DIT displayed significantly smaller RMS...
The proposed DL model successfully reconstructed the morphology of anterior teeth with various degrees of defects and achieved satisfactory accuracy. This approach provides a more reliable reference f...
This DL model holds promise in assisting dentists and technicians in obtaining morphology templates that closely resemble the original shape of the defective teeth. These customized templates serve as...
