“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)

The following species is the Lemur, both upper and lower, Incisors-2, Canine-1, Premolars-3, Molars-3. Lemurs have a wide diastema and their lower teeth form a “specialized comb, for grooming and scooping juice from trees. Going up the primate latter is the Tarsier, upper, Incisors-2, Canine-1, Premolars-3, Molars-3, lower Incisors-1,
of hominin discoveries is complete, we begin to start analyzing mysterious specimen #6. It looked a lot like a modern human but the skull features is slightly different and the molars is quite large. From what we have noticed at first sight, the incisors, canines and the premolars of the specimen are missing. Without analyzing and measuring the teeth’s, it would make our job a bit difficult, but there is always alternative route to analyze this mysterious specimen. My partners and I shared each
Hominid Skull Evolution Sharmili Lakshmanan Bio 1107 Introduction: Human evolution is the process of change by which people originate from apelike ancestor. Behavior traits and scientific evidence show that people are originate from apelike ancestor. Humans first evolved in Africa, and much of human evolution occurred on that continent. The process of evolution involves a series of natural changes that cause species to arise, adapt to the environment
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
Introduction: The replacement of a single tooth lost due to dental caries or trauma can be challenging for a clinician. Traditionally several options are indicated in order to restore the edentulous space including implant/crown, fixed partial dentures (FPD) or removable partial denture (RPD). However economic factors, occlusal disturbances, lack of adequate bone support or excessive removal of healthy dental structure are some of the limiting factors in the traditional treatment modalities. One
Introduction Removable partial denture (RPD) is a denture for partially edentulous patient who wants replacement teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons and cannot have a bridge for some reasons (Sakar, 2016). This type of denture is called a removable partial denture because patients can remove and equip the denture without professional help. A good retention is required in order to keep RPD in place and prevent it from unwanted displacement. This article will explain the principle and importance
SureSmile has the highest reproducibility in comparison with other digital model such as emodel and AnatoModel as it has the smallest mean squad error. The efficiency of the SureSmile is ranked second as it take longer time to complete the tooth size measurement compared to emodel. Orthodontists believe that the main advantage of SureSmile technology is that they have choices to use their preferred bracket system, as well as it may increase precision in the finishing stage [1]. Besides, the customized
for tooth-borne RPD’s. They must be placed on a rest seat prepared on an abutment tooth that is capable of withstanding the forces placed on it. An indirect retainer cannot function effectively on an inclined tooth surface, nor can a single weak incisor tooth be used for this purpose.
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
