Use of Facial Indicator for Choosing Anterior Teeth (Female Arabs and Persians Students)

Authored by Maryam Alkaabi

Abstract

Background: The maxillary anterior teeth are important in achieving pleasing dental aesthetics. The size of the maxillary central incisors is important for they are the most prominent teeth in arch as individual is viewed from frontal position. Various methods are used to measure the size of them, including the size of the face determined from two points, zygoma and chin to estimate the width and height by using “facial indicator”. The average width of the maxillary central incisor is estimated to be one sixteenth of the face measured between the zygoma.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the accuracy of a new device called “ facial indicator “ in choosing anterior teeth in dentulous patients of two different ethnic groups, Female Arabs & Non-Arabs (Persians) by attempting to prove the existence of a direct relationship between the facial sizes and the size of the natural maxillary central incisor.

Methods: Dental casts of the maxillary arches were made in this cross-sectional study from AUST university college students who met the inclusion criteria. The 90 female participants represented the Arabs and NonArabs (Persians) population main ethnics. The width and height dimensions of the maxillary central incisors were measured using digital caliper. Then Facial Indicator Device used to decide the width and height of face in an attempt to prove the existence of a direct relationship between the facial sizes and the size of the natural maxillary central incisor.

Results: Comparison of the width and height of maxillary central incisor on the casts and the width and height dimensions of faces by using facial indicator, revealed that there was a significant statistical difference (p >0.05).

Conclusion: A direct relationship between the facial width and the widths of the natural maxillary central incisors was found, while there is no relation between the lengths of the face with the length of the central incisors. Ethnic variation has no association with the use of facial indicator.

            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
