Wielding a 3-D scanner that looked like a bulky electric toothbrush, dentist Randy Raetz spent a few minutes in a patient’s mouth one morning last week, getting three-dimensional images of a set of front teeth, the opposing arch, and how they fit together in a bite.

Distribution of sagittal occlusal relationships in different stages of dentition
The aim of this study was to assess the distribution of sagittal occlusal relationships in different dentition periods in a Turkish sample group. In total, 1,110 patients (561 females, 549 males) aged 4.6-23 years were randomly chosen after intraoral clinical examination. The subjects were classified according to their sagittal occlusal relationships and four dentition stages –deciduous, early mixed, late mixed, and permanent dentition. The statistical significance of the occurrence of malocclusion types in dentition stages was evaluated by Chi-square and Fischer’s exact tests. Class I malocclusion was observed at the highest rate in all dentition stages. Class III malocclusion was observed at the highest rate in the permanent dentition, whereas Class II malocclusion was observed at th…

The Tennessee study: Factors affecting treatment outcome and healing time following non?surgical root canal treatment
ConclusionMultiple host and treatment factors affected the healing time and outcome of root canal treatment. Follow?up protocols should consider these factors before concluding the treatment outcome: patient’s age, immune condition, as well as roots with overextended fillings, root canal systems with smaller apical preparations (size <35) or roots with complex canal systems. Intervention may be recommended if the treatment quality was inadequate or if patients became symptomatic.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Job Search Trap: It Doesn’t Matter What I Look Like
When it’s time to meet people, either when you network or when you interview, do you wear the same clothes that you wear to work? When I meet people at networking meetings, they are casual. And, I wonder when some of them last bathed or brushed their teeth.
