No full textManagement of seven external cervical resoprtions
No full textECR cases were detected from medical and dental history, clinical data and a conventional radiography; a Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) with a small field of view (FOV) was performed too. A both 2D and 3D-classification was applied on each resorption. After studying better the clinical aspect, especially the accessibility of the lesion, the restorability of the tooth was assessed and the approach was decided between external repair, with or without endodontic treatment, or internal repair. Reparative tissue was removed and the defect was managed through new generation composite resins, mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) or other cements. A pulp capping was performed in one case and a canal treatment in the others. Clinical and radiographic checks assessed both quality and adequacy of the treatments im-mediately and over tim
The diagnostic performance of dental maturity for identification of the circumpubertal growth phases: a meta-analysis.
No full textThe present meta-analysis initially evaluates the reliability of dental maturation in the identification of the circumpubertal growth phases, essentially for determining treatment timing in orthodontics. A literature survey was performed using the Medline, LILACS and SciELO databases, and the Cochrane Library (2000 to 2011). Studies of the correlation between dental and cervical vertebral maturation methods were considered. The mandibular canine, the first and second premolars, and the second molar were investigated. After the selection, six articles qualified for the final analysis. The overall correlation coefficients were all significant, ranging from 0.57 to 0.73. Five of these studies suggested the use of dental maturation as an indicator of the growth phase. However, the diagnostic performance analysis uncovered limited reliability only for the identification of the pre-pubertal growth phase. The determination of dental maturity for the assessment of treatment timing in orthodontics is not recommended

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
