Validation of cone-beam computed tomography as a predictor of osteoporosis using the Klemetti classification

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract This study aimed at evaluating the validity of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for assessing mandibular bone quality using the Klemetti classification. The morphology of the endosteal mandibular cortex of 30 (60 hemi-mandibles) postmenopausal women between the ages of 45 and 80 years was ev...

Assessment of upper airways measurements in patients with mandibular skeletal Class II malocclusion

Objective: Mandibular Class II malocclusions seem to interfere in upper airways measurements. The aim of this study was to assess the upper airways measurements of patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion in order to investigate the association between these measurements and the position and length o...

Radiographic evaluation of orthodontic treatment by means of four different cephalometric superimposition methods

INTRODUCTION: Despite discussion on the merit of various cephalometric superimposition methods, there remains a need to assess which one can be used in daily practice with reasonably accuracy and less working time. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate four methods of cephalometric superimp...

Dentoalveolar mandibular changes with self-ligating versus conventional bracket systems: A CBCT and dental cast study

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to compare dentoalveolar changes in mandibular arch, regarding transversal measures and buccal bone thickness, in patients undergoing the initial phase of orthodontic treatment with self-ligating or conventional bracket systems. METHODS: A sample of 25 patients...

Caracterización de estructuras anatómicas mediante radiografías panorámicas: el foramen mental

Int. j. morphol; 32 (4), 2014
El foramen mental (FM) es un referente anatómico importante durante procedimientos quirúrgicos y colocación de implantes. Con el propósito de conocer la detectabilidad y posición del FM, caracterizándolo respecto a sus relaciones anatómicas, fueron analizadas 215 radiografías panorámicas convenc...

Relations between the mandibular canal and I, II and III Angle classes in panoramic radiographs

Int. j. morphol; 32 (2), 2014
To prevent injury to the inferior alveolar nerve during dental procedures, knowledge of its anatomical location and course of the mandibular canal is imperative. The aim of this study was evaluate the location on panoramic radiographs of the mandibular canal in relation to the apices of the permanent man...

Agujero mentoniano doble
Double mental foramina

Rev. cuba. estomatol; 50 (4), 2013
The knowledge of the location, trajectory, and characteristics of the neurovascular bundles in the jaws is fundamental to reduce risk of injuries to this structure during surgical procedures, especially when anatomical variations are present. The presence of anatomical variations associated with the ment...

Comparative study of the osteoblastic activity of two implant systems (Endopore versus Entegra) utilizing single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT): experimental study in pigs model

West Indian med. j; 62 (2), 2013
Implantology has been an important component of dental management for over forty years, and during that period, many configurations of implant materials and methods have been developed. As empirical and clinical research yield new implant materials, there has been need to test and compare these materials...

Presencia Bilateral del Canal Incisivo de la Mandíbula: Una Estructura Anatómica con Relevancia Clínica

Int. j. morphol; 29 (2), 2011
La región anterior de la mandíbula generalmente se considera un área quirúrgica segura, con pocos riesgos de daño a estructuras anatómicas importantes. Sin embargo, esta región contiene un canal intraóseo, el canal incisivo de la mandíbula (CIM), que es la continuación del canal mandibular mesi...

Osteomielitis crónica esclerosante difusa
Chronic diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis

Rev. cuba. estomatol; 45 (3/4), 2008
La osteomielitis esclerosante difusa se considera como una osteomielitis crónica primaria consistente en un proceso inflamatorio, doloroso y prolongado en el tiempo. Afecta solo a la mandíbula y es generalmente unilateral, compromete hueso basal y alveolar, y se localiza al nivel de cuerpo, ángulo, ra...
