Analysis of Tooth Root Number

The aim of this cross-sectional study is to assess the number of roots in permanent teeth. For this reason, researchers will conduct an analysis of CBCT scans. The collected data will be used for epidemiological analysis, including an examination of differences in outcomes between male and female patients.

All-ceramic Restorations: a Retrospective and Prospective Study

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the survival and success rate of ceramic restorations on teeth and implants done in the department of fixed prosthodontics at the CHU of Liege for the last 25 years. The main question it aims to answer is: Are ceramic restorations reliable and sustainable ? Participants already treated with ceramic restoration will answer survey questions about their restoration once a year, in parallel with clinical evaluation following Hickel et al 2010 (Science Committee of the FDI World Dental Federation -FDI) to assess esthetic, functional, mechanical and biological properties of the restorations .

Treatment of the Mandibular Dental Crowding With and Without Corticotomy Surgery

The use of corticotomy surgery in addition to orthodontic standard treatment could accelerate the treatment. Corticotomy involves vertical interdental incisions of the gingiva and the bone with a very low thickness. Orthodontic appliances are placed immediately after the surgery. This study aims to compare the tooth movement when correcting mandibular dental crowding in two groups of patients: Test group: orthodontic treatment and minimally invasive corticotomy surgery. Control group: standard orthodontic treatment without surgery.
