Bite force and dental status The Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry Volume 28, Number 2/2004 139 INTRODUCTION V arious techniques have been used to clinically evaluate the physiological characteristics of the muscles of mastication. One method is to measure the bite force. Bite force is exerted by the jaw elevator muscles and is regulated by the nervous, muscular, skeletal, and dental systems. 1 Maximum bite force is related to the health of the masticatory system, and it is believed that the stronger the bite force, the better the system. 2,3 Helkimo et al. 4 observed the bite force of a population between the ages of 15 and 65 years, and found that variation in bite force with dental status was obvious, and that those with complete dentition had a much greater bite force. Maximum bite force assessed unilaterally may be used as a simple indicator of mandibular elevator muscle strength as a whole. 5 Since reduced strength is an important factor in overload and hyperactivity of

INTRODUCCIÓN Se puede situar el origen de la fotografía entre los años 1830 y 1840, cuando William Fox Talbot, en Inglaterra, y Nicéphore Niépce y Louis Daguerre, en Francia, obtuvieron las primeras imágenes permanentes en una cámara oscura por acción directa de la luz. Desde entonces se han producido múltiples innovaciones técnicas en este campo, pero ninguna de ellas ha supuesto un cambio tan radical como la a

The effects of periradicular inflamation The Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry Volume 29, Number 3/2005 193 INTRODUCTION P rimary teeth and the permanent successors must be understood as interdependent units, where each one of them interacts with and depends upon the other. This relationship can be altered by mechanical traumas or as a consequence of dental decay lesions. The homeostasis loss from this unit impacts on the tooth and the surrounding tissues, to different degrees of intensity. The pulpal inflammation / infection of a primary tooth and the spread of this condition to the periradicular tissues can lead to alterations in the dental germ of the permanent successor and to the surrounding structures, if no therapy is done, i. e. endodontics or extraction. However, alterations that have already occurred in the germ cannot be recovered, regardless of the type of the treatment performed. 3, 7, 14 Endodontic treatment is the last clinical resort in

CLASSIC ARTICLE Fundamentals of extracoronal tooth preparation. Part I. Retention and resistance form Dennis B. Gilboe, DDS,a and Walter R. Teteruck, DDS, MSDb College of Dentistry, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada The differential selection and application of retention and resistance form in tooth preparation depend upon the individual clinical situation. Since the ‘‘textbook ideal’’ is not often encountered clinically, knowledge of basic principles and factors is mandatory for the successful preparation of extracoronal restorations. Black1 astutely recognized and stressed the importance of these two basic characteristics. He stated: ‘‘Resistance form is that shape given to a cavity intended to afford such a seat for the filling as will best enable it to withstand the stress brought upon it in mastication. Retention form is the provision for preventing it from being dislodged. ’’ More recent concepts tend to emphasize the duplication of a preconceived

Following an overview of the physiological masticatory process, the available evidence regarding associations among dental status, chewing function and gastrointestinal disorders are summarized. Finally, a review of the relationships between orthodontic deformities and mastication is presented.

For permissions, please email: journals. permissions@oxfordjournals. org Advance Access publication 14 October 2009 Introduction Relapse has been defined as a return of teeth to their original position or a shift in arch relationship at the end of treatment. The aetiology of relapse is multifactorial and can be divided into three main areas: physiological recovery, unfavourable growth, or ‘true relapse’ due to the placement of the teeth in an unstable position. Relapse is also subject to individual variation. Reitan (1967) showed that the periodontal ligament takes 232 days to reorganize and can derotate teeth after 1 year. The periodontal ligament requires 3–4 months’masticatory stimulation for the organization of its fibres. In addition, research has shown that alveolar bone is laid dow

Up to now, the molecular basis for this failure was unknown. Patients and Methods: Four families were studied in whom at least two members were affected by non-syndromic PFE as part of a clinical and molecular genetics study.

Applying Tonn s index, evaluation of the records (models and cephalograms) of 1,100 patients, however, yielded no evidence of changes in the width ratio of the front teeth with regard to Angle classes, growth type, axial inclination of the central upper incisors, interincisal angle, or overbite.

Schendel, and J. -F. Tulasne,* Honolulu, Hawaii, and Nantes, France This architectural and structural craniofacial analysis is based upon mutual balance of the cranial and facial bony structures. With this technique, the base and calvaria of the cranium and then the face can be studied successively in relation to the cranium and craniospinal articulation. Statistical averages are avoided, and individual proportions influenced by the unique features of each skeleton are relied upon. The dentition is placed within the cephalic context, and thereby etiologic factors of dentofacial dysmorphoses which would not otherwise be demonstrated by conventional analysis are made obvious This technique is particularly useful to the maxillofacial surg

CASE REPORT Ascending and plunging ranula in a pediatric patient Virginia L. Clyburn, III, MS, Jacob E. Smith, MD, Tihana Rumboldt, MD, Maria G. Matheus, MD, and Terry A. Day, Charleston, SC No sponsorships or competing interests have been disclosed for this article. Aplunging ranula is a rare phenomenon that represents mucous extravasation extending through or behind the mylohyoid. The mucous dissects the tissue planes inferiorly and usually manifests as a swelling in the submental or submandibular regions. Some plunging ranulas are believed to result from disruption of excretory ducts that originate from the sublingual gland. The currently accepted definitive treatment of a plunging ranula is resection of the ipsilateral sublingual gland and evacuation of the cyst with removal of the pseudocapsule. There have been no reported cases of “ascending” ranulas into the parapharyngeal or pterygomaxillary space. The following represents the first known case that involved an extensive
