Case Report On Taurodontism

The orthodontic treatments compared were fixed appliance therapy and Invisalign. In the study, one large group was split into two smaller groups. One group wore fixed appliances and the other wore invisalign. For one week, the test subjects kept a journal and answered questions. The questions were used to determine the psychosocial, functional, and pain related to treatment impacts. The diary results for each group of test subjects were averaged. A graph was then made to compare the impacts of fixed appliance therapy and Invisalign. The graphs revealed Invisalign impacts were more “positive” than the impacts fixed orthodontic treatments

The patient presented with intrinsic discoloration on all permanent maxillary and mandibular teeth. Because the discoloration was located on the all the surfaces of the teeth, there was no radiographic appearance

From the viewpoint of nurses who examine children in primary care settings, the history of baby bottle use and the physical examination can provide important clues. In particular, Beaulieu and DuFour (2000) point out that evidence suggestive of BBTD is the presence of a dull, white band of demineralized enamel along the gingival margin, usually found on the central incisors. Often all 4 maxillary anterior teeth are involved simultaneously.

An orofacial examination was performed to assess the structural and functional integrity of the oral mechanism. The exam did not reveal anything of clinical significance.

Like most of my colleagues, I entered dental school unsure of specialty choice. It then motivated me to seek opportunities in various internship and externship programs to explore the many facets of dental medicine. Upon graduation from dental school, I attended the Eastman Institute for Oral Health of the University of Rochester, where my curiosity and interest in endodontics arose. Through various lectures and hands-on workshops on endodontics and microscopic dentistry, I was amazed and intrigued by the intricate and precise aspects required in the field of endodontics. I have also come to further appreciate the importance of preserving the integrity of a natural dentition.

WookHeo, Dong-SeokNahm, and Seung-HakBaek (2007)32performed study to compare the amount of anchorage loss of the maxillary posterior teeth and amountof retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth between en masse retraction and two-step retraction of the anterior teeth.30 female adult patients with Class I malocclusion and lip protrusion were included in the study. The sample was subdivided into group 1 (en masse retraction) and group 2 (two-step retraction). Lateral cephalograms were taken before (T1) and after treatment (T2). Nine skeletal and 10 anchorage variables were measured, and independent t-test was used for statistical analysis.The amount of horizontal retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth was not different between the two groups, there was mild labial movement of the root apices of the upper incisors in group 2 at T2. No significant difference in the degree of anchorage loss of the maxillary posterior teeth was observed between the two groups. Bodily and mesial movements of the upper molars occurred in both groups. A 4 mm of the retraction of the upper incisal edges resulted from 1 mm of anchorage loss in the upper molars in both groups.

The main goal of endodontic treatment is to prevent or heal apical periodontitis. The cleaning and shaping procedures are adversely affected by the highly variable root canal anatomy. The presence of additional canals needs to be detected in to avoid incomplete instrumentation and preservation of bacteria and their toxins, which can compromise the outcome of the root canal treatment. Therefore, the knowledge of the internal anatomy of teeth is a prerequisite for successful endodontic therapy(1).

Wisdom teeth lack sufficient space for eruption and this makes them different from other teeth. This

Reversal of the normal relationship of upper teeth, which only interfere normal function to a minor degree (less than 2mm).

“In fact, only three studies have examined the reliability of bite mark analysis. All three show serious problems. One showed an error rate – a rate of false identifications – as high as 91%. Another (conducted by the American Board of Forensic Odontology) found a 63.5% rate of false identifications, and the third showed an error rate of 11.9% to 22% of false identifications among forensic odonatologists and noted that the “poor performance” is cause for concern because it has “very serious implications for the accused, the discipline, and society.” (Cases Where DNA Revealed,

The treatment is based on the bases that diagnosing and treating cases of malocclusions at an early, discovery stage can go a long way to stem the problem. Today’s interceptive orthodontics treatment has done a lot to phase out permanent removal of teeth to correct the bite and late orthodontic treatment which traditionally began at around age 12 to 14. The treatment also reduces treatment time, creates and preserves space for the un-erupted teeth and creates a facial symmetry through fine jaw bone resetting. Children who undergo this phased treatment are often treated at age between 7 and 11 to take advantage of the continued teeth growth. The treatment at this age is much easier because the patient’s are much more receptive to the treatment thus ensuring better end

In the past decade, forensic science has progressed rapidly and played a tremendous role in Criminal Justice system. Since the beginning, multiple disciplines have taken form, such as pathology, anthropology, Firearms impressions, and fingerprint analysis. Of the many that exist today, one has proven itself to be indispensible: Odontology. Odontology has proven effective ever since 1776, when Paul Revere created a pair of dentures for a good friend of his. Years later, during the revolutionary war, Paul Revere was able to identify his friends body using the dentures he had him, after he died in battle. This is a very early practice of forensic dentistry. Ever since, its main purpose has been to identify bodies.

Dentists often recommend a patient undergo orthognathic surgery to treat an improper bite, also known as a severe malocclusion. This treatment is also often recommended for individuals who suffer from TMJ or TMD. Any time the facial skeleton develops a problem during growth, the individual may find they have problems with daily activities. Their speech may be affected, they may find it difficult to chew, or they may have headaches and joint pain. The surgery can help to rectify these

Malocclusion or bad bite when the top and bottom jaws do not fit together properly

Another 12 patients were randomly selected and method A was used on their first permanent molar in their right lower jaw and method B was used on their left side. Every child was given a blind code.
