Mandibular Shape in Myostatin-deficient Mice: a Geometric Morphometric Analysis

Morphometric analysis of the furcation anatomy of mandibular molars.

BACKGROUND Successful treatment of molar furcation defects remains a challenge in clinical practice. Knowledge of anatomic factors facilitates predictable management of furcation involvement lesions. The degree of success in managing furcation involvement is inversely related to the horizontal probing depth. The depth of the horizontal component of attachment loss can vary depending on the exte...

Geometric morphometric analysis of mandibular shape diversity in Pan.

The aim of this research is to determine whether geometric morphometric (GM) techniques can provide insights into how the shape of the mandibular corpus differs between bonobos and chimpanzees and to explore the potential implications of those results for our understanding of hominin evolution. We focused on this region of the mandible because of the relative frequency with which it has been re...
