The topography of displaced canines

Abstract

The 3D coordinate system developed in this study allows the exact measurement of tooth position relative to three spatial planes, thus, enabling tooth position to be objectively determined.

Granuloma Piógeno: Reporte de un caso de lesión hiperplásica reactiva con aspecto tumoral

“…Según Truschnegg et al, se recomienda ampliar los estudios clínicos y de bioquímica sanguínea que pueda guardar relación con la biopsia (26). Como opciones de tratamiento además de exéresis, tenemos el pulsed-dye laser, inyección intralesional de etanol o corticoides, escleroterapia con tetradecil sulfato de sodio y criocirugía (33,34).…”

Three-dimensional CT evaluation of oculoauriculovertebral spectrum patients use of Katsumata’s asymmetry index

“…Hence they enable accurate identification of skeletal landmarks for a patient-specific coordinate system. Various coordinate systems have been presented in the past [14,20,25]. An objective index of patient-specific asymmetries was developed by Katsumata et al [25] based on deviations of central and bilateral anatomical landmarks within a defined coordinate system.…”

To beam or not to beam: that is the question: Author response

“…While it is true that the position of the crown determines the surgical approach and direction of traction, the direction of eruption and location of the root apex play important roles in the orthodontic mechanics, avoiding damage to adjacent teeth and improving the effectiveness of canine traction. 5 Hofmann et al 6 developed a system on 3D imaging that allows for accurate evaluation of the position of the displaced canines relative to three spatial planes. The Department of Orthodontics at the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" is specialized in the treatment of impacted canines often associated with other dental anomalies such as supernumerary teeth and missing or peg-shaped lateral incisors.…”
