UNLABELLED Need for the study: The most important procedure for a successful endodontic treatment is the cleaning and shaping of the canal system. Understanding the internal anatomy of teeth provides valuable information to the clinician that would help him achieve higher clinical success during endodontic therapy. AIMS To evaluate by computed tomography-the internal anatomy of mandibular sec...

Laboratory Specimens The eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea guttata, is often used as the introduction to insect anatomy. Romalea is a large insect, reaching 50 to 75 mm in length, and is easily dissected. It is a good example of general, relatively unspecialized insect anatomy. Romalea is best studied using anesthetized living, or freshly sacrificed specimens. Preserved animals are much less ...

1 BACKGROUND Recipient vessels selection is crucial for successful microsurgical breast reconstruction. The internal mammary vessels (IMVs) have gained great popularity, and they are often selected as first choice recipient vessels. The IMVs can be exposed for microvascular anastomosis through a rib-removing (trans-costal) or a rib-sparing (intercostal) approach.1–3 Because the vessels are loca...

abstract : dens invagination (di) is a developmental abnormality of teeth which frequently results in a complex internal anatomy of the root canal system. di type 3 is an anomaly characterized by infolding of enamel and dentin extending into the root apex. this may present difficulties when forming a diagnosis and treatment plan. many treatment modalities have been presented in case reports for...

Exposition of the petrous part of the internal carotid artery (pICA) necessitates close control during surgery for proximal internal carotid artery aneurysms. The most difficult manipulation is the exposure of the internal carotid artery on the level of the carotid canal, and in most cases it is accompanied by local neurological complications in postoperative period that are results of the trau...

AIM This study was done to study the three dimensional anatomy of internal capsule's white fibers completely by cadaveric dissection and its relation to basal ganglia and other related anatomical structures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eight formalin fixed cerebral hemispheres were dissected for internal capsule under operating microscope. Klingler's technique of fiber dissection was adopted. The in...
