Banding on Adolescents: Is Molar Band Height Different than Clinical Crown Height?

Total Knee Replacement Sizing: Shoe Size Is a Better Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height

Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...

Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height

Molar enamel thickness and dentine horn height in Gigantopithecus blacki.

Absolutely thick molar enamel is consistent with large body size estimates and dietary inferences about Gigantopithecus blacki, which focus on tough or fibrous vegetation. In this study, 10 G. blacki molars demonstrating various stages of attrition were imaged using high-resolution microtomography. Three-dimensional average enamel thickness and relative enamel thickness measurements were record...

Changes in clinical crown height as a result of transverse expansion of the maxilla in adults.

The risk of developing bony dehiscence and gingival recession may lead clinicians to prefer extraction to expansion in borderline cases. The purpose of this research was to compare changes in clinical crown height that occur at the buccal aspect of the maxillary lateral teeth of adult patients in which the transverse dimension was increased with those occurring if no expansion had been performe...

Vertebral height growth predominates over intervertebral disc height growth in adolescents with scoliosis.

STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study of spinal stereoradiographs of adolescents with scoliosis to measure growth. OBJECTIVE To determine the relative contributions of the vertebral bodies and intervertebral discs to the increase in spinal length between T5 and L5, over the age range of 7.5-20 years. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The progression of spinal deformity (scoliosis) is associated wit...
