There are many possible causes to external apical root resorption (EARR) as a sequela of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliance. This literature review examines root morphology, age, commonly affected teeth, magnitude of force, continuous versus interrupted forces and duration of treatment, in order to evaluate if root resorption can be predicted. Qualitative analysis of a range of studies in ...

The aim of this study was to assess orthodontic treatment outcome and quality of documentation in patients with different types of anterior crossbite, who had received and finished treatment at the student clinic in Tromsø in the period between 2008 and 2010. A total of 34 subjects fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study. Existing pre and post treatment records from all ...

Aim and hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to evaluate Biodentine™ as a root-end filling. The working hypothesis is that Biodentine™ provides apical bacterial seal as MTA when applied in root-end filling therapy.

A major dilemma is that pain free dental treatment using local anaesthesia (LA) is of main importance for avoiding dental fear and anxiety (DFA) at the same time as intraoral injections are strongly associated with DFA. Well-educated dentists and dental hygienists, with a variety of techniques and approaches available, are important to give the patient receiving LA a perception of control. The purpose ...

Intraoral radiographs are important tools for diagnosing, monitoring and evaluating the treatment of infrabony lesions. However, different beam angulations between exposures may give a wrong interpretation when evaluating them. A technique that is useful for monitoring bone loss and regeneration is the use of subtraction radiography. This technique is also very sensitive for changes in projection ...

Introduction: The importance of good oral health in children is well documented. Extensive caries in young children has an impact on both oral and general health, including quality of life. It is important to offer DGA for patients where other options are not sufficient. Preventive measures can in many cases be done to reduce the number of DGA needed, and behaviour shaping techniques for all children ...

This study looks into how the clinics in the three northernmost counties carry out their chairside prophylactic routines, and if it is in accordance with available literature.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of treatment of unilateral posterior crossbite and factors related to the treatment outcome in patients treated in the University student clinic. Another aim was to evaluate the adequacy and quality of documentation of the posterior crossbite treatments.

Introduction: The Public Dental Service in Norway has changed during the last decades. Dental hygienists have increased in numbers, but how this has influenced the organization of the patient treatment at the clinics is not well known. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the organization of the work-day in the Public Dental Service in Northern Norway in terms of who is being treated and ...

However, uniform criteria and consensus in decision-making would be of importance when the clinical training in the dental school is arranged in a community setting by GPs employed as clinical instructors. Objectives: ...
