Volume 25, Issue 2 (9 2012)
Abstract

Background and Aims: Various methods are used for treatment of open bite. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Lower Anterior High Pull Headgear (LAHPH) appliance in Class I subjects with moderate open bite and high lower lip line.

Materials and Methods: The study group was composed of 10 subjects with a mean age of 15.8±2.5 years and 3.05 ± 0.07 mm moderate open bite. All the patients rejected orthognathic surgery. The treatment included extraction of upper and lower second premolars followed by leveling, banding, bonding, posterior space closure, and anterior retraction. After these procedures, the open bite was reduced to 2.04±1.17 mm. Afterwards, LAHPH was applied for 18 hours per day for 8±2 months. LAHPH appliance was composed of High Pull Headgear and two hooks mounted on its inner bow. Two elastics (1.8, light, Dentaurum) connected the upper hooks on the inner bow to the lower hooks on the mandibular canines vertically. The forces produced by the prescribed elastics were 10 and 60 g during mouth closing and opening, respectively. Paired T-test was used to evaluate pre-and post-treatment outcomes.

Results: The pre-and post-treatment cephalometric evaluations showed that the LAHPH reduced effectively the open bite of the patients to 0.15±1.7 mm (P<0.001).

Conclusion: This appliance can be used as an acceptable method for closing the open bite in Class I subjects.

Abstract
Background and Aims: By using the image processing capability in Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), obtained information can be improved. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of sharpen image processing filter in determining the external resorption of the root apical region in single-rooted teeth due to the proximity of the impacted tooth using CBCT.
Materials and Methods: In this laboratory study, the lateral surfaces of the apical region of the root of 40 healthy extracted teeth were artificially cut by bur and the teeth were randomly divided into four groups: control, low, moderate, and high resorption. After preparing CBCT of the teeth, the samples were then processed with and without an image sharpening processing filter and examined by two observers. The results of this study were analyzed by SPSS22 and Medcalc Statistical Software version 14. The significance level was considered P≤0.05 for all the statistical tests.
Results: Specificity (100%) and sensitivity (66%>) were either complete or very high for both modes without and with the sharpen filter. The overall accuracy (0.83>) was high in both cases and no significant difference was observed between the two overall accuracies (P>0.05). Statistical analysis of both image observations by two observers showed that the overall sensitivity and accuracy in the medium and high resorption groups was much higher than the low resorption group, but the specificity in all groups was 100%.
Conclusion: The results showed that the images with a sharpening filter did not increase the detection power compared to the unfiltered images. However, as no loss of accuracy was observed with this filter, it could be used as a processing filter.

Occurrence of ameloblastoma in an old man in an unexpected site: A case report

Volume 39, Issue 0 (3-2026)
Abstract
Ameloblastoma is one of the most common benign tumors originating from odontogenic tissues. Despite being benign, it has a locally aggressive behavior and a high tendency to relapse. While, this tumor is mainly found in the posterior region of the mandible, its occurrence in the maxilla is rare and is associated with more diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. This report presents a rare case of ameloblastoma in the maxilla of a 64-year-old male patient who presented with painless swelling and significant extension of the lesion to the midpalate. Clinical, radiological, and histopathological findings were reviewed and after necessary evaluations, the diagnosis of ameloblastoma was confirmed. The anatomical complexity of the maxilla, proximity to vital structures, and surgical limitations make the management of these tumors more difficult. The present report emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, careful histological examination, and the need for a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach in dealing with this type of tumor.
