have 28 teeth total, 6 incisor teeth on top and bottom, 2 canines on top and bottom, 3 premolars on top and bottom, and no molars at this time. Also like humans these puppies go through two sets of teeth throughout their life. When they become around six to seven months old, they will have 42 adult teeth. These adult teeth consist of, 6 incisor teeth on top and bottom, 2 canines on top and bottom, 4 premolars on top and bottom, and 2 molars on the top and 3 molars on the bottom “Retained Deciduous

Last Monday, Feb. 27, I helped Katie Jetter with her medical history, periodontal assessment, and x-rays procedures. From viewing Katie’s performance, I could see myself a year ago. I can’t believe I have gone this far in the learning process. Katie resembled me a year back with little knowledge of the patient’s treatment process. I evaluated Katie’s medical history procedure and her radiograph technique. Her weakness was the treatment process and time management. For the treatment process, she

Principle 1: In tooth supported edentulous spaces, location of the undercut determines the retentive clasp type. In general, in these cases any type of clasp that could approach the undercut of the abutment teeth can be used. NOTE: When mesiobuccal undercut is presents in the mesial abutment tooth of a modification in Class II mod 1 classification, wrought wire clasp must be used and if a distobuccal undercut is presents, I bar or half-T clasp must be used. Principle 2: In the abutment teeth adjacent

The appliances using this type are oral screen, lip bumper, Frankel appliance, anterior and posterior raised bite. Advantages and disadvantages Skeletal anchorage devices have become popular adjuncts in clinical orthodontics because they offer several advantages, including  The primary advantage is that implants provide skeletal anchorage, which is sure more predictable and stable than methods requiring patient compliance.  Serving as a means of increasing orthodontic anchorage.  Virtually eliminating

it’s avoided if this perpendicular ends on the incisal area. In Kenndy’s class I cases, bilateral rest on the first premolars are used (Shabeel, 2009). In Kennedy’s class II cases, it is placed on the first premolar of the opposite side (Shabeel, 2009). Another type of indirect retainer is canine extension from the occlusal rest. In some cases a finger like extension from a premolar rest is placed on the lingual slope of the adjacent canine (Shadid,

Have you ever wondered how complete dentures are constructed? A complete denture is a type of removable prosthesis designed to replace all of the natural teeth in an arch or the jaw. Patients sometimes need a set of complete dentures, one for each arch or jaw. There are several stages in making dentures. Each stage must be performed accurately and precisely so the denture is as exact as possible. The technician does most of the work of fabricating the denture from start to finish. The dentist only

“Aesthetic Management of a Mesio Labially Rotated Maxillary Lateral Incisor with Type I Palatal Talon Cusp - a Minimally Invasive Approach” Introduction: Talon cusp is a rare dental anomaly in the shape of the tooth. It is a well delineated cusp like structure projecting from either lingual or facial surface of anterior teeth. The prevalence of talon cusp was reported to be between 1 to 8% [1,2]. Hattab et al [3] classified talon cusp into three types based on its size as Type I (Talon / true talon)

Clinical Tip #2 When taking bitewing radiographs digitally, it is best to take the premolar area first. When a premolar radiograph is taken before the molars, it will give the practitioner a map for taking the molar radiograph. If crowns are high under the tissue, it will allow it to be seen prior to the taking of the next radiograph. This will give an idea of how high the PID needs to be placed near the facial area of the molars. Definitions Alternating current (AC): Current flows in one direction

consisted of two lines, top jaw and bottom jaw, which were used to count how many incisors, canines, premolars, and molar teeth a species had. Species A, Odocoileus virginiaus (white-tailed deer), had a tooth formula of 0033/3133. On the top jaw, the deer had zero incisor and canine teeth but have three of both the premolars and molars. On the bottom jaw, the deer had three incisors, one canine, three premolars, and three molars. Species B, Canis latrans (coyote), had a tooth formula of 3142/3143. On

According to Karapinar- Kazandag et al. Enhanced illumination and magnification of the operating site helps the clinician to locate root canal orifices and aids in visualization of the intricate root canal anatomy. 13. In mandibular second premolar bifurcation or trifurcation is generally present at mid root level which can be successfully managed with the help of operating microscope. Above cases were managed using rotary PathFile instruments to maintain the original anatomy of the root canal
