Use of Facial Indicator for Choosing Anterior Teeth


Authored by Ahmed Alsaadi

Abstract
Background: One of the major hurdles in clinical prosthodontics has been the selection and replacement of maxillary anterior teeth in the absence of pre-extraction records. The size of the maxillary central incisor is important since they are the most prominent teeth in the arch. Various methods are used to measure their size, including the size of the face, zygoma and chin to estimate the width and height by using “the facial indicator “.

Objectives: To determine if a relationship exists between intra-oral and extra-oral facial measurements in Arab population (Male) that could assist dental practitioners in selecting maxillary anterior teeth in the absence of pre-extraction records.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was used with a sample size of 84 participants from Ajman university dental college students who met the inclusion criteria. The width and height of the maxillary central incisors were measured using digital caliper. The facial indicator device used to decide the width and height of the face to prove the existence of a direct relationship between the facial sizes ant the size of the natural maxillary central incisors.

Results: Two readings were used, and we compared between the two readings, there is slight similarity in the measuring of cast length only. There is slightly good interclass correlation in the cast length in average of two readings. Since p-value is slightly more than (.05) therefore the length of the central incisor on the cast can be determined from the facial length only.

Conclusion: There is a relation between the lengths of the face with the length of the central incisors. Width of the face shows no relation with width of central incisor.

            Juniper Publishers- Open Access Journal of Dentistry & Oral Health The Effect of Pistacia Atlantica and Hypericum Perforatum as a Healing Accelerator Remedy on Induced Oral Mucositis in Male Golden Hamster- Juniper Publishers Authored by Nader Tanideh Abstract Oral mucositis is a painful condition that occurs as a side effect of chemotherapy. P. atlantica and H. perforatum have long been known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties as an alternative medicine. This study evaluated the healing effects of extraction of P. atlantica and H. perforatum, on 5-FU induced oral mucositis in golden hamsters by histopathology, clinically, and anti-oxidative assessments. Oral mucositis was induced in 60 male golden hamsters by administration of 5-FU (60mg/kg), on days 0, 5, and 10 of the study. Animals were randomly divided in 5 groups, (n=12). They were treated with hydro-alcoholic extract of H. perforatum (topical gel 10%) (Group 1), P. atlanti

Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations- Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DENTISTRY & ORAL HEALTH Effective Use of Dental Implants and Prosthetics for Dental Missions: Clinical Case Presentations Authored by Charles J Arcoria Abstract Dentists practicing in a mission setting have limited options for comprehensive treatment of patients because of the distance from the full resources available in conventional dental office setting. Because of the limited time aspect of team mission work, emergency extractions and limited operative treatment are typically performed. Inherently, the lack of follow-up care with extensive restorations and the need for proper maintenance, preclude many treatment modalities. As a result, this efficient but not simplistic model of mission dentistry is designed to deliver treatment that can be quickly accomplished with recurrent follow-up over a series of eight week time frames. These three clinical case presentations document the type of functional and esthetic tr

Several GTR materials and bone grafts have been attempted but showed variable success rates. Objective: The present randomized clinical and radiographic study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration (GTR) by using equine bioabsorbable collagen membrane with or without equine bone graft in the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects affected by aggressive periodontitis. Materials and Methods: Ten systemically healthy patients with 20 periodontal intrabony defects were enrolled as a split mouth design. These de
