background :soft tissue profile can be widely different in various populations. furthermore, this profile can be also continues to change throughout life. however, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the soft tissue profile in iranian population. in order to determine normal reference values of facial parts in our populations, we aimed to measure standards for facial soft tissue ...

introduction: fishbone is the most common foreign body found in the oropharynx. conventionally patients with suspected fishbone in the throat would have mirror laryngoscopy followed by lateral soft tissue x-ray to look for the fishbone or observe impacts caused by the fishbone i.e. soft tissue swelling or air in upper esophagus. however, the most common site of fishbone impact is the suprahyoid...

background: abdominal circumference (ac), biparietal diameters (bpd) and femoral length (fl) are now the main parameters used to obtain estimated fetal weight (efw). although the role of soft tissue parameters in determining fetal weight was proved but clinical attention to mid-thigh soft tissue thickness (stt) is limited. objective: to find the impression of stt on birth weight (bw) and repres...

background: laser-tissue interaction on low-level laser therapy (lllt) has widespread medical applications (e.g., improved wound healing). the tensile strength of radiated tissue by lllt is known to be increased mainly because of cross collagen bands developed after radiation. objective: in this work, we studied the instantaneous effect of radiation of polarized laser beam on the viscoelastic t...

introduction: the purpose of this preliminary study was to evaluate the periodontal condition of intruded molars in various phases of treatments. methods: 30 patients with at least one overerupted upper first molar were selected. upper molar bands with brackets were cemented. two miniscrews were placed in the mesiopalatal and mesiobuccal aspect of the aforementioned teeth. a titanium molybdenum...

the purpose of these case reports is to analyze the results of gingivectomy and gingival troughing to determine the evidence on the effectiveness of laser-assisted soft tissue procedures and soft tissue management in aesthetic dentistry.the patients in these case reports underwent 980 nm diode laser assisted gingivectomy and gingival troughing to achieve immediate hemostasis and moisture contro...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to determine buccal bone and soft tissue thicknesses and their correlation in the maxillary anterior region using cone beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 330 sound maxillary incisors in 60 patients with a mean age of 37.5 years were assessed by cbct scans. for better visualization of soft tissue, patie...
