Given the fact that nowadays bitewing radiographs are taken using both paper loop and film holder, the aim of this study is the evaluation of acceptance and diagnostic quality of two methods. Materials and Methods: This study is a sort of diagnostic accuracy test that was performed on 20 6-8 year old children referring to Babol Dental School. Forty posterior bitewing radiographs were taken including 20 radiographs using film holder and 20 radiographs using paper loop. Di-agnostic quality of radiographs was assessed ac-cording to the film coverage, proximal overlap and observation of alveolar bone crest. Accep-tance was evaluated according to the feeling expressed by children about the radiographic experience. Data was processed by SPSS statistical software and McNemar test. Results: Film coverage, proximal overlap and observation of alveolar bone crest were acceptable in all radiographs taken by film holder. Film coverage and observation of alveolar bone crest in upper second primary molar were acceptable in 70% and 65% of the radiographs taken by paper loop respectively that were significantly different with film holder group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the acceptance of the methods. Conclusion: Bitewing radiograph with film holder produced adequate radiographs for almost all parameters and was well tolerated by children.}, Keywords = {Child,Diagnossis ,Radiography Bitewing }, volume = {2}, Number = {1}, pages = {1-6}, publisher = {}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.3dj.2.1.1}, url = {http://3dj.gums.ac.ir/article-1-37-en.html}, eprint = {http://3dj.gums.ac.ir/article-1-37-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Dentomaxillofacial}, issn = {}, eissn = {}, year = {2013} } @article{ author = {Ghaffari, Roshanak and Hosseinzade, Abolfath and Zarabi, Hossein and Kazemi, Marzieh}, title = {Mandibular Dimensional Changes with aging in Three Dimensional Computed Tomographic Study in 21 to 50 Year old Men and Women}, abstract ={Introduction: Raising the knowledge of skeletal and soft tissue changes with aging has been highly essential due to an increasing demand for aesthetic facial surgery following aging. The aim of this study is to evaluate the three dimensional computed tomographic images and process of changes in mandible with aging. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, the facial CT scans were obtained from 124 subjects (70 men and 54 women). The population of the study was categorized in three ages (21 to 30, 31 to 40, 41 to 50). Each CT image was reinforced under volume rendering three-dimensional reconstruction by using the three dimensional analysis software volume viewer. The specific parts of mandible consisting of bigonial width, mandibular body height, ramus breadth, ramus height, mandibular body length and mandibular angle were measured and the data were analyzed employing two-ways analysis of variance. Results: In both genders, there was no significant changes in bigonial width with aging (P=0.88). Mandibular body height for both genders decreased with aging but the result was not statistically significant (P=0.19). Ramus breadth decreased with aging in both genders (P=0.02).Considering the obtained means, ramus height and mandibular body length did not show significant changes in different age categories (P=0.09) (P=0.54). In both genders mandibular angle increased with aging (P=0.17). Conclusion: Mandibular angle in women is greater than men and also for ramus breadth.

The question is whether there are any relationships between these variables. Materials and Methods: A total of 203 elderly subjects enrolled in this study 125 (61.5%) were males and 78 (38.4%) were females. All subjects were interviewed, dentally and orally examined. Demographics data,medical back-ground, oral hygiene practices and oral condi-tions were noted. Results: from total, 78.8% were edentulous and 86.7% had different oral conditions. The mean number of retained teeth was 7.34± 4. The most common oral conditions were dry mouth (41.9%), fissure tongue (30.5%), burning mouth (28.6%) and denture induced stomatitis (28.1%) respectively. Oral conditions were more prevalent in females than in males (Odds Ratio: 2.42, 95%CI0.93-6.28).

Materials and Methods: Conventional halogen and blue Light emitting diode (LED) units were used for polymerization of an Opalis resin com-posite. The conversion measurements were carried out at 0 and 8 mm distance from the directly irradiated surface in manufactured recommended curing time as well as in doubled curing time. The curing efficiency was observed with FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy). Data was analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test. Results: The LED curing unit exhibited the most homogenous in-depth curing efficiency at the same time (20 sec). The most amount of con-version degree in LED group was related to dis-tance 0 and irradiation time of 20 sec. However, in halogen groups the highest grade was observed in distance 0 and exposure time of 40sec. With increasing the distance between light guide tip and resin composite to 8 mm, being inevitable especially in class 2 box filling Conclusion: The result of our study confirmed that the best result for each group obtained in maximum contact with light source meanwhile reduplicating the manufacture recommended exposure time. Besides, in our research, LED showed a better outcome in proposed time of 20 sec in both distances.}, Keywords = {Dental composite resin ,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy ,Light curing unite}, volume = {2}, Number = {1}, pages = {22-27}, publisher = {}, doi = {10.18869/acadpub.3dj.2.1.4}, url = {http://3dj.gums.ac.ir/article-1-40-en.html}, eprint = {http://3dj.gums.ac.ir/article-1-40-en.pdf}, journal = {Journal of Dentomaxillofacial}, issn = {}, eissn = {}, year = {2013} } @article{ author = {Lotfi, Ali and AtarbashiMoghadam, Saede and AtarbashiMoghadam, Fazele}, title = {Multiple Central Giant Cell Granuloma of the Mandible: A Case Report}, abstract ={Introduction: Central giant cell granuloma is a benign lesion but sometimes has aggressive proliferation composed of multinucleated giant cells in a background of spindle and ovoid mesenchymal cells.
