Introduction: The mandible is one of the largest and most rigid bone in facial skeleton. mandibular parameters like gonial angle, bigonial width ramus heights can be used to determine a correlation with an individual’s age gender. This important legal ramifications its assessment has great role forensic orthodontic purposes. Objective: To assess radiographic angle Methods: A total 325 Orthopant...

abstract objectives: radiomorphometric indices measured on simple radiographic images can be used for qualitative and quantitative assessment of bone. panoramic radiographic imaging can therefore assist dentists in early detection of osteoporosis in patients. considering the effect of ethnic and environmental factors on development of osteoporosis and absence of normal values of radiomorphometr...

Introduction: Radiomorphometric indices obtained from panoramic radiography are used to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate osteoporosis. Given the importance of early diagnosing osteoporosis.The present study was conducted to compare osteoporotic and healthy women in Rafsanjan, Iran in terms of mandibular radiomorphometric indices obtained from their panoramic radiographs. Materials and...

BACKGROUND Indian women, especially those from low-income groups consume diets that are deficient of calcium, proteins and micronutrients. Hence, they are prone to suffer from osteoporotic hip fractures at a much earlier age than western women. To detect early signs of osteoporosis, it is ideal to perform Bone Mineral Density testing of all post-menopausal women who are at risk. AIM (i) To as...

ULLER (1954) in discussing the errors associated with estimating the frequency of lethals induced on the X chromosome in gonial or primordial germ cells of the male gives perhaps the most generally applied definition of germinal selection. “This term refers to the fact that some of the lethals, especially those involving deficiencies, kill or retard the proliferation of the very cells in which ...

Abstract Objectives: Radiomorphometric indices measured on simple radiographic images can be used for qualitative and quantitative assessment of bone. Panoramic radiographic imaging can therefore assist dentists in early detection of osteoporosis in patients. Considering the effect of ethnic and environmental factors on development of osteoporosis and absence of normal values of radiomorphom...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to select a model of cephalometric variables to predict future Class III growth patterns based on the results of early orthopedic treatment with a protraction facemask. MATERIAL Sixty-four patients with Class III malocclusion were treated with a protraction facemask. Cephalometric radiographs were taken before treatment and a minimum of 3 years after...

Objective:  To describe the gonial angle characteristics in class III skeletal malocclusion Javanese ethnic .  Material and Methods:  Pretreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 43 patients were measured: upper (Go1) lower (Go2), anterior (AFH) posterior face height ratio (PFH), maxilla-mandibular length difference, mandibular plane (FMA), Y axis, ramus position, ANB angle, cranial base/r...
