Introduction: Mental foramen is an important landmark in mandible and knowledge regarding the actual location of mental foramen is important in dentistry. Materials &Methods: A total of 1172 digital panoramic radiographs were evaluated for assessment of the location of the mental foramen. The location was classified into six groups in relation to the apices of the premolars and first molar. R...

introduction: mental foramen (mf) is an important anatomic landmark in dentistry and knowledge about its variable locations (l) and type of emergence (te), has an effect on the sufficiency of local anesthesia and safety of surgical procedures. the aim of this study was to evaluate the l and te of this radiographic landmark as well as the presence of accessory mf, by means of cone-beam computed ...

The foramen tympanicum is an anatomical variation that is created in the tympanic plate of temporal bone during the first year of life. The tympanic plate grows and foramen tympanicum is gradually closed by about the fifth postnatal year. However, due to a defect in normal ossification, foramen tympanicum sporadically remains throughout life. The construction of a shopping center in Tabriz, nor...

meningiomas are rare tumors of posterior fossa. delayed intracranial hemorrhage is a rare complication of surgeries in this territory. herein, we report a case of status epilepticus as a result of delayed motor cortex hemorrhage, complicating resection of a meningioma arising from foramen magnum.

A case is presented in which a nasopalatine duct cyst was misdiagnosed. Its subsequent mismanagement was further compounded with improper endodontic therapy. It was finally managed by corrective endodontic and surgical therapy.

To assign semantic roles in building Treebanks, there is a need for annotators having a guideline in determining semantic relations between phrasal head and its modifiers or arguments. Semantic roles are hard to have clear-cut definitions. It is not always easy to determine thematic relations between two concepts. This paper aims to introduce an integrated nominal modifier system. Basically we ...

Paramedian insertion of orthodontic mini-implants is increasingly used to anchor molar distalizers. The aim of this review was to systematically examine the available measurements of vertical palatal bone height (VBH). PUBMED, MEDLINE and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register were searched using specific search terms. Hand searches of bibliographies of articles were also performed to identify...

On the basis of karyologically identified individuals of the common vole Microtus arvalis and the sibling vole Microtus rossiaemeridionalis from Europe and the Asiatic part of Turkey, a canonical craniometric classification function for the differentiation of these sibling species was worked out. The function is sex-independent and includes four craniometric parameters measured in millimeters (...
