Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment following coronectomy on mandibular third molars with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) involvement.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was done on the mandibular third molars of 37 people (≥ 18 years old, 28 males, and 9 females) who needed a coronectomy and had a confirmed diagnosis of IAN in groups I, II, and III according to the classification of Q. Luo 2018, as found by CBCT.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of NiTi closed-coil springs and elastomeric chains on apical root resorption and alveolar bone changes after maxillary canine closure in patients with Angle Class I malocclusion.
- A randomized clinical trial involving 31 adults used cone-beam computed tomography and cephalometric radiographs before and after treatment to measure the outcomes.
- Both appliances caused similar tooth root resorption, with no statistically significant difference in root length change; however, both treatments positively affected alveolar bone levels significantly.
