Post-pleistocene changes in tooth root and jaw relationships.

Mandibles of 126 sexed skeletal specimens, from Near Eastern sites dating over the past 12,000 years were radiographed. From the radiographs obtained, digitised tracings were made of crown length (mesiodistal), root height and width, and corpus height mesial to the premolars and first and second molars. The data obtained were analysed using rank transformation procedures. The significance of unidirectional trends in relation to periods sampled was examined graphically and analytically through linear regression analysis of the ranks on the chronological scale, and Spearman's rank correlation was used to compare relationships between different parameters of individual teeth in different periods. Significant reduction was found in crown length between 12,000 B.P. and 6,000 B.P., but no further reduction was found between 6,000 B.P. and 1,000 B.P. Little change was observed in root size, but corpus height showed significant reduction over the past 6,000 years. The differences observed in the timing and extent of reduction in crown, root, and corpus height are associated with a low intrapopulation correlation between them.

[Clinical evaluation of hydroxyapatite-coated titanium artificial tooth root].

The present study was aimed at evaluating the clinical usefulness of a new type of dental implant, one piece-type artificial root made of a titanic core coated with HAp by plasma-spray coating. A total of 227 artificial roots were implanted in 78 healthy subjects (44 females, 34 males) ranging in age from 17 to 74 years. Each of them was examined on several given occasions by both radiography and a method used in periodontal disease screening. Prognostic observation lasted up to 4 years and 3 months. No implants were rejected in 77 subjects, although marked mobility of the implants resulted in their withdrawal in 1 subject (2 implants). They were functioning favorably during the study period, affording great satisfaction to the subjects. No side effects were found in any of the subjects excluding one case of oral lichen planus in which the presence of a direct cause-effect relation remained unclear. From the above results, we conclude that this new type of artificial root is of extremely high clinical use.

[Variants in the arrangement of the tooth roots in the alveolar arches of the human jaws based on computed tomographic data].

Anatomo-topographic relationship of the teeth roots were studied by means of computer tomography (CT) on 44 passportized skulls with mandibles of people who died in the age of 20 to 52 years. Conseguently, sections of mandibles and maxillae were made out of these preparations and peculiarities of the teeth roots locations in alveolar arches were studied by craniometric method. Comparison of CT results and measurements of sections showed that CT is an informative method of assessment of the teeth roots anatomo-topographic relationship that permits to attain general true qualititative indexes, allowing to evaluate objectively the available variants of the alveolar arch structure and the teeth roots location without disturbance of the anatomic material integrity.

[An experimental validation of the transplantation of an orthotopic allograft together with tooth roots for the replacement of mandibular defects].

The results of transplantation of surface-demineralized, lyophilized, and formalin-treated orthotopic allotransplants, including dental roots, to 40 dogs [correction of rats] are analyzed. Clinical, x-ray, and morphologic studies have demonstrated that formalin-treated allotransplants are the optimal plastic material, providing restoration of bone intactness, preservation of dental roots, and the osteoid type of dental root join with the bone regenerate. Dental roots within surface-demineralized and lyophilized allotransplants are resolved in the course of their replacement with newly developing bone tissue.
