Lateral Radiographic Technique: An Alternative Approach for Anterior Teeth

Lateral radiographic technique: an alternative approach for anterior teeth.

AIM To describe the lateral radiographic technique, its use and indication. BACKGROUND The clinician's difficulty in performing the correct diagnosis for some endodontic situations sometimes leads to a compromised treatment of some teeth. Considering this, an alternative radiographic technique for anterior teeth (lateral radiographic technique - LRT) may be used to help endodontic diagnosis. ...

The Primed In Situ (PRINS) Technique: An Alternative Approach for Preimplantation Chromosomal Diagnosis

Photographic-assisted prosthetic design technique for the anterior teeth.

The aim of this article is to propose a standardized protocol for treating all inesthetic anterior maxillary situations using a well-planned clinical and photographic technique. As inesthetic aspects should be treated as a pathology, instruments to make a diagnosis are necessary. The prosthetic design to resolve inesthetic aspects, in respect of the function, should be considered a therapy, and...

Transverse Anterior Approach to the Elbow for Pediatric Displaced Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures

Background: The anterior approach to the elbow for pediatric lateral condyle fractures (LCF) would provide a bettervisualization of the articular fracture resulting in better functional results, less complications and a more cosmeticallyappealingscar than usually seen with the lateral approach.Methods: Retrospective study of children undergoing an open reduction and internal f...

Lateral approach for anterior thoracic spinal lesions.

A lateral approach, consisting of a modified transversectomy, hemilaminectomy, and adequate transversectomy with costectomy of 7-8 cm, was used to treat four cases of anterior or anterolateral thoracic lesions, including two cases of thoracic disc herniations, one of thoracic meningioma, and one of hypertrophic pachymeningitis. All patients presented with gait disturbance, but recovered well po...
