Volumetric changes of maxillary sinus post augmentation using CBCT
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
By evaluating the air volume of the maxillary sinus pre-operatively (Reading 1 – V1) and postoperatively, 3-6 months later (Reading 2 – V2) the changes using different augmentation materials will be ascertained. Additionally, ...
Sexual dimorphism by measuring the mesiodistal width of the permanent maxillary and mandibular canine in a sample of the South African population in the Northern Suburb of Cape Town.
(University of the Western Cape, 2019)
Human identification is one of the major responsibilities in the field of Forensic Odontology as it plays a role in identifying deceased individuals using their oral and dental structures. Furthermore, human identification ...
Sex estimation using the diagonal diameter measurements of first mandibular molars in a Sudanese sample
(University of the Western Cape, 2020)
Sexual identification of immature skeletal remains is still a complicated issue to solve in Forensic Anthropology. Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics ...
The accuracy of the mental foramen position on panoramic radiographs and CBCT
(University of the Western Cape, 2017)
Data was analysed from 31 archived cone-beam computed
tomography (CBCT) images and Digital panoramic radiographs (DP) for the same patients
taken on the same x-ray machine (Carestream CS9000 3D). The position and ...
An in vitro study of composite repair
(2007)
The aim of this study is to investigate the repair bond strength of composite resin following micromechanical and chemical means of retention in improving the repair of composite resin specimens.
Prevalence and location of the secondary mesiobuccal canal in the maxillary first and second permanent molars using cbct; In a sample of the Libyan population’
(University of Western Cape, 2021)
Previously, many studies have used cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to
detect and confirm the exact location of the MB2 canal in maxillary molars. It is now considered
the gold standard, as it allows clinicians to ...

Diagnostic accuracy of maxillary periapical pathology perforating the sinus floor: a comparison of pantomograph and CBCT images
(University of Western Cape, 2020)
Periapical lesions are fairly common pathology associated with the apex of a non-vital tooth. Some chronic lesions develop without an acute phase with no recollection of previous symptoms. It is known that maxillary ...
A study of some cultural characteristics and blood serum antibodies: titers 0f enterococci isolated from the mouth and faeces
(1975)
Crevicular epithelium presents no effective barrier to the
biologicaJly active constituents of plaque. Moreover, it
seems that the production of circulating antibodies, the
development of a state of delayed hypersensitivity ...
Incidental calcifications s of the head and neck on CBCT scans
(University of the Western Cape, 2022)
One of the most notable additions to the dental imaging armamentarium is the introduction of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning in general dental practices. The multi-planar functionality of CBCT allows for ...
