noticed that her maxillary central incisors were fractured due to a previous accident on her bike. Being it was a new patient with no recorded history, the incident should be recorded and dated with as many details and findings as possible. Due to her age and the type of accident, it is a very believable story especially since this was the first visit to the office and there were no other incidents recorded.

Most frequently seen on: The maxillary and mandibular permanent incisors and the first molars. III. Molars are referred to as mulberry molars(Fig.3) and the anterior as Hutchinson’s teeth(Fig.4). Figure 3: Enamel hypoplasia of congenital syphilis (mulberry molars). The mandibular first molar shows many small globular masses of enamel on the occlusal portion of the tooth. Figure 4: Enamel Hypoplasia of congenital syphilis ( Hutchinson's incisors). There is characteristic notching of
the lower face by uprighting mandibular incisors. 4. Diagnosis The patient was diagnosed as a Class III incisor relationship on a Class III skeletal pattern with unilateral posterior crossbite on left side. Total difficulty was calcified as the moderated difficulty case. 5. Treatment objectives The purposes of the treatment were to camouflage any remaining skeletal discrepancy, to establish Class I canine relationships, to upright the mandibular incisors, to create adequate overjet and overbite
Compare and evaluate the age estimation methods described by i) Mann, Symes and Bass (1987) in ‘Maxillary suture obliteration: aging the human skeleton based on intact or fragmentary maxilla’, Journal of Forensic Sciences, 32(1):148-157 and ii) Meindl and Lovejoy (1985) in ‘Ectocranial suture closure: a Revised Method for the Determination of Skeletal Age at Death Based on the Lateral-Anterior sutures’ American Journal of Physical Anthropology (68):57-66 In this essay I am going to compare and evaluate
For the cervical spine a horizontal beam lateral (if this projection was unsuccessful in providing a diagnostic image then a Swimmers lateral would be used) and an AP C3-7 view (with doctors permission to pull the patients shoulders down). For the pelvis an AP pelvis projection would be sufficient to analyse if there is any damage to the pelvis. If any abnormalities are detected, further imaging would be conducted accordingly i.e. horizontal beam lateral hip shoot through. For the right tibia an

The purpose of this research is to critically analyze the various components of forensic anthropology and odontology in order to obtain an accurate understanding of the overall reliability of these disciplines. Research obtained from various sources including, textbook, peer reviewed articles and the National Academy of Sciences Report are examined in an attempt to explain how the field of forensic odontology, more specifically the discipline of bite mark analysis is not considered to be a reliable
Patients are usually heavy smokers with poor oral hygiene and some have vitamin deficiencies, GI problems, or radiation therapy. Cures range from just brushing the tongue to corticosteroid therapy. 5- Cleft Palate -Congenital defect in which the lateral halves of the palate fail to fuse during embryonic development.
