The aim of this study was to investigate whether the limbus-insertion distance (LID) of the lateral rectus (LR) muscle can be a useful indicator for predicting the surgical effect of recession surgery in intermittent exotropia (IXT). Patients who underwent unilateral or bilateral LR recession for the basic type of IXT were included. The distance between the corneal limbus and the posterior edge...

This paper argues that the greater the liberalization of imports in a Sub-Saharan African country, the more significant is the decline in its rate of growth due to the recession in high income economies during the late eighties and early nineties. This could be explained by the fact that when industrial countries are suffering from recession, the terms of trade may move in favor of developing c...

BACKGROUND The hypothetical relationship between economic recession and the increase in suicides in Spain is subject to various arguments. In addition to the inherent complexity of capturing and explaining the underlining mechanisms that could describe this causal link, different points of contention have been be identified. The period of this association and its possible starting points, the s...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of horizontal muscle surgery (recession or recession plus resection) on the anterior chamber parameters in patients after strabismus surgery. METHODS The Scheimpflug of 18 eyes of 12 patients with horizontal deviations were recorded just before surgery and 1 month after surgery. The power of anterior surface of cornea in horizontal and vertical axis, thinnest co...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the current research was to assess the prevalence of gingival recession and to investigate possible associations among this condition, periodontal and epidemiological variables in a sample of young Greek adults in a general dental practice. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1,430 young adults was examined clinically and interviewed regarding several periodontal and epidemi...

BACKGROUND Management of gingival recession defects, a common periodontal condition, using root coverage procedures is an important aspect of periodontal regenerative therapy. The goal of the periodontal soft tissue root coverage procedures group was to develop a consensus report based on the accompanying systematic review of root coverage procedures, including priorities for future research an...

AIM The purpose of this article is to report on the five-year follow-up of a case involving treatment of gingival recession with a subepithelial connective tissue graft prior to orthodontic tooth movement. BACKGROUND Gingival recession has a global prevalence that varies from 3 to 100 percent depending on the population studied and the method of analysis. In addition, the frequency of recessi...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review was to answer the following question: 'Can subepithelial connective tissue grafts (SCTG) be considered the gold standard procedure in the treatment of recession-type defects?' DATA AND SOURCE: An electronic search (MEDLIINE, EMBASE and CENTRAL) for randomized controlled clinical trials with at least 6 months' follow-up comparing SCTG with other...

BACKGROUND The Great Recession of 2007-2009 was the most severe and lengthy economic crisis in the U.S. since the Great Depression. The impacts on the population were multi-dimensional, but operated largely through local labor markets. OBJECTIVE To examine differences in recession-related changes in county unemployment rates and assess how population and place characteristics shaped these pat...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of limited dissection of tenon sheath on the outcome of horizontal strabismus surgery. methods: patients with horizontal strabismus, aged between six and 50 years, were enrolled in this non-randomized study. patients with pattern and vertical strabismus or a history of strabismus surgery were excluded. the strabismus surgeries consisted of bimedial recession (bmr...
