BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Distal forearm fractures in children have excellent remodeling potential. The current literature states that 15° is the maximum acceptable angulation limit, though studies focusing on remodeling capacity above this value are lacking. We present data on the remodeling process in children with distal radius malunions with an angulation of ≥ 15°. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retro...

Implant-supported fixed prostheses are a highly successful treatment option for replacing missing teeth, offering improved esthetics, function, and patient satisfaction. Design considerations play crucial role in achieving optimal outcomes. Implant distribution angulation should be carefully planned to ensure balanced load biomechanical stability. Occlusal vital minimize mechanical complication...

OBJECTIVE There is little information regarding the mesiodistal angulation of permanent teeth in mixed dentition. The aim of this study was to evaluate mesiodistal root angulation of permanent incisors, canines and first molars of 100 Brazilian children, using a new horizontal reference plane based on the midpoint of the intercuspation of primary canines and permanent first molars in panoramic ...

Introdouction: The aim of this study was to determine the associations between commonly found pathologic conditions and angulation of the lower third molar teeth. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs consisting of 724 lower third molars were evaluated for any pathologies according to their angulation(mesioangular, distoangular, vertical, or horizontal...

This study investigated possible contributors to lateral spinal angulation after surgical fixation of thoracolumbar fractures via an anterior approach. We retrospectively examined lateral angulation in 172 cases of thoracolumbar fractures treated in this manner. The coronal Cobb angle and angles of the screws relative to the endplates were determined from radiographs. The patients completed the...

Objectives: Different theories have been suggested to define factors involved in skeletal and craniofacial morphology. Many of these theories explain that the bone morphology is the result of the bone tissue capability to adapt in response to biomechanical forces exerted during growth. Also, it seems logical to hypothesize that there is a relationship between biomechanical connections of muscle...

Objectives: To assess the prevalence of different pattern of impacted teeth. Materials & Method: A retrospective study of the digital orthopantomograms of 500 patients from Dept of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Rajarajeswari Dental College & Hospital, Bangalore was carried out. The investigation was done to relate the impaction to the angulation of tooth, age, and sex. Result: Panoramic radiogr...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to estimate the frequency of postoperative lingual nerve (LN) impairment after the surgical removal of mandibular third molars (M3) and to identify potential risk indicators. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A prospective cohort study involving 321 subjects who had 443 mandibular M3 surgically extracted at the University Hospital, Amman, Jordan. Predictor variabl...

INTRODUCTION Maxillary premolars are often extracted to resolve incisor proclination in presurgical orthodontic treatment for severe skeletal Class III patients. The aim of this article was to compare arch-width changes and orthodontic tooth movements between maxillary premolar extraction and nonextraction modalities, and to provide an additional indication for presurgical maxillary premolar ex...
