The purpose of this study was to research the possible influence of difference in construction of mechanical joint in arcon and nonarcon articulators, upon the adjustment of condylar inclination by intraoral protrusive record. The determination of condylar inclination by protrusive record in two types of articulators was performed on 30 examinees, and the adjustment of condylar inclination in e...

The purpose of this study was to determine the upper lip by Holdaway’s method in individuals with bimaxillary proclination and to find out correlations of skeletal convexity at point A & maxillary incisor inclination with upper lip inclination and upper lip strain. Lateral cephalograms of 100 patients (50 males and 50 females) exhibiting bimaxillary dental proclination were exposed in closed li...

Observers viewed large dichoptic patterns undergoing smooth temporal modulations or step changes in simulated slant or inclination under various conditions of disparity-perspective cue conflict and concordance. After presentation of each test surface, subjects adjusted a comparison surface to match the perceived slant or inclination of the test surface. Addition of conflicting perspective to di...

The goal of this chapter is to provide a thumbnail sketch of the traditional criteria for symbolic behavior, and to then outline new themes that have emerged in contemporary work and points of departure from the traditional views. This chapter and the volume as a whole suggest that it is time to move beyond the scope of traditional theories, and call for a redefinition of the criteria for symbo...

Anatomic factors, such as a hooked acromion, have been associated with rotator cuff disorders. Orientation of the glenoid relative to the scapula has been implicated in shoulder instability, but it has not been linked to rotator cuff disorders. The purpose of the current study was to test the hypothesis that superior inclination of the glenoid is associated with full-thickness rotator cuff tear...
