THE DEFORMED CHIN AND LOWER JAW

Absence of the Labiomental Groove: A Common but Preventable Unpleasant Aesthetic Problem of the Lower Lip-Chin Burn Reconstruction

Excision of Lateral Half of Lower Jaw

my observation in this dispensary. Three years ago he noticed a slight swelling at the an^ie of the lower jaw, left side The swelling siowly but steadily increased, while the movements of the jaw became gradually impaired. There was but iitr.ie pain tili about six months previous to his admission, when the integument over the site of the tumour began t'> ulcerate, and a thin purulent discharge ...

Dlx genes pattern mammalian jaw primordium by regulating both lower jaw-specific and upper jaw-specific genetic programs.

Dlx transcription factors are implicated in patterning the mammalian jaw, based on their nested expression patterns in the first branchial arch (primordium for jaw) and mutant phenotypes; inactivation of Dlx1 and Dlx2 (Dlx1/2-/-) causes defects in the upper jaw, whereas Dlx5/6(-/-) results in homeotic transformation of the lower jaw into upper jaw. Therefore, the 'Dlx codes' appear to regionali...

Influence of the Lower Jaw Position on the Running Pattern

INTRODUCTION The effects of manipulated dental occlusion on body posture has been investigated quite often and discussed controversially in the literature. Far less attention has been paid to the influence of dental occlusion position on human movement. If human movement was analysed, it was mostly while walking and not while running. This study was therefore designed to identify the effect of ...

Optical metrology analysis of the lower jaw deformations.

BACKGROUND/AIM New optical stereometric methods based on both contact and noncontact mechanisms for displacement measurement have become common methods in biomechanical behavior research of biomaterials, bone and soft tissue. The aim of this study was to register and measure possible deformations of the lower jaw (mandible) with the intact dental arch using optical metrology method. METHODS T...
