PURPOSE To measure variations in diameter and location of Schlemm's canal in vivo by ultrasound biomicroscopy. DESIGN Prospective, single-institution, consecutive case series. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-four patients with and without glaucoma. METHODS Under topical anesthesia, an 80-MHz iUltrasound probe (iScience Interventional, Inc., Menlo Park, CA) placed at the 12-o'clock position was used t...

Objective: To evaluate root canal configuration and morphology of premolar teeth among Saudi subpopulations using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, CBCT images 314 patients comprising 346 maxillary 412 mandibular first (FPM) teeth, 298 387 second (SPM) were analyzed to the number roots, morphology, based on Vertucci's classifica...

e analysed the CT scans and radiographs of 76 vertebrae in 49 patients who underwent vertebroplasty for painful osteoporotic compression fractures. Leaks of cement were classified into three types: those via the basivertebral vein (type B), via the segmental vein (type S), and through a cortical defect (type C). More leaks were identified on CT scans than on radiographs by a factor of 1.5 (74/4...

Clinical Management of a Maxillary Lateral Incisor With Vital Pulp and Type 3 Dens Invaginatus: A Case Report Sashi Nallapati, BDS A maxillary right lateral incisor with a type 3 dens invaginatus and a large periapical lesion with vital pulp in a separate root canal was treated both nonsurgically and surgically. Care was taken not to expose or devitalize the vital pulp in the main root canal sy...

AIM To evaluate ex vivo the accuracy of two electronic apex locators during root canal length determination in primary incisor and molar teeth with different stages of physiological root resorption. METHODOLOGY One calibrated examiner determined the root canal length in 17 primary incisors and 16 primary molars (total of 57 root canals) with different stages of root resorption based on the ac...

Unilateral cystic inner ear anomalies were diagnosed in two siblings, a 9 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. X-ray examination of the temporal bone was performed, together with audiological examinations and vestibular function tests. The common tomographic X-ray findings consisted of an enlarged solitary sac type deformity of the vestibule with narrowing of the internal auditory canal, severe ...

INTRODUCTION Many clinical anatomy studies have looked into how variations in the acromion, coracoacromial ligament (CAL) and subacromial space are associated with rotator cuff injuries. However, no study up to now had defined anatomically the fibro-osseous canal that confines the supraspinatus muscle in the subcoracoacromial space. Through an anatomical study of the scapula, we defined the bon...
