Cat-like carnivorous mammals represent a relatively homogeneous group of species whose morphology appears constrained by exclusive adaptations for meat eating. We present the most comprehensive data set of extant and extinct cat-like species to test for evolutionary transformations in size, shape and mechanical performance, that is, von Mises stress and surface traction, of the mandible. Size a...

This in vitro study aimed to compare the accuracy of maxilla and mandible full-arch scans from an intraoral scanner via one scan path with six different head movements. Standard models holder were set a dental chair simulate position posture. The reference models’ standard tessellation language (STL) files formatted desktop scanner, operative obtained IOS TRIOS 3 Pod as superimposed by Exocad C...

The investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of Ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center Nursery site. Four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...

Keratocystic odontogenic tumors can occur in any area of the maxilla or mandible. According to their size, location, and relations with surrounding structures, they are treated by cyst enucleation or enucleation after either marsupialization or decompression. Enucleation is performed when cysts are not large and when only minor damage to adjacent anatomical structures is expected. Although mars...

The use of full arch alveolar reduction as an aide to doing All on 4 implant restoration in the mandible is presented. The osteoplasty is described as a flat "shelf" on which to place the restoration. The shelf approach is used to establish optimal implant position and angulation as well as to define anatomy to maximize implant fixation for immediate load prosthetics.

background: accurate measurement of the height and buccolingual thickness of available bone has a significant role in dental implantology. the shadow of ramus on the mandibular second molar region disturbs the sharpness of conventional tomographic images. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of transferring the shadow of ramus from the center of the focal plane, by changing the posi...
