The aim of this study is to reveal the morphometry mental nerve describe a safe zone for minimizing damage during transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy-vestibular approach (TOETVA). This was performed on 12 cadavers. Localization foramen according teeth, distances buccogingival sulcus-lip (BG-L), foramen-midline (MF-Midline), - sulcus (MF BG), commissure branching point (Cm Br), vertical projectio...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the response of periapical tissues to the endodontic sealer Endométhasone in root canal fillings short of or beyond the apical foramen. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty root canals of premolars and incisors of 2 mongrel dogs were used. After coronal access and pulp extirpation, the canals were instrumented up to a size 55 K-file and the apical cemental barrier was pe...

OBJECTIVE To determine the morphology and the locations of the SupraOrbital Notch/Foramen (SON/F), InfraOrbital Foramen (IOF), and Mental Foramen (MF) relative to frequently encountered surgical landmarks. MATERIAL AND METHOD One hundred and six Thai adult skulls were investigated. RESULTS Mean horizontal widths of SON, SOF, IOF and MF were 4.31 +/- 1.61 mm, 2.81 +/- 0.62 mm, 3.35 +/- 0.62 ...

Relatively few studies have been performed that analyze the morphology of the choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle. Due to the importance of this tissue as a landmark on imaging and during surgical intervention of the fourth ventricle, the authors performed a cadaveric study to better characterize this important structure. The choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle of 60 formalin fixed adult ...

The study was conducted on random sample of seventy-one dried, typical cervical vertebrae (C3-C6). The data on the age, sex, and built was not available. Using vernier calipers with 0.01 mm accuracy, the anteroposterior and transverse diameters of transverse foramina and their distance from the medial margin of the uncinate process were measured bilaterally. The mean diameter of the right/left ...

THE RETRACTOR MUSCLE OF THE POUCH IN THE GEOMYIDAE THE retractor of the cheek pouch in the pocket gophers (Geomys bursarius, Thomomys bottae, Thornomys bulbivorus) and in the kangaroo rat (Dipodomys spectabilis) has been thought to represent the platysma,' 2 3 although it is more extensive and has a more caudal origin than in other mammals. It arises, in the pocket gophers, from the superficial...

The aim of this study was to assess the frequency, location and width of accessory canals (AC) of canalis sinuosus (CS) using cone beam computed tomography and compare our findings with recent literature. Additionally, intraosseous canals (IOC) in the sinus wall other than the CS were noted. A retrospective analysis of 219 scans from our university department was conducted. The registered param...
