Incisor Winging in Chinese
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim: To investigate the incisor wingings of the Southern Chinese and compare these with studies in different populations. Materials and Methods: The maxillary and mandibular incisor alignment in study casts of an unselected sample from a 12 year old Hong Kong Oral Health Survey of 12 year old children (n=459; 295 boys and 164 girls) were studied. Results: The prevalence of bilateral winging in the maxillary arch was 9% for males and 10% for females respectively. The prevalence of bilateral winging of the mandibular incisors was higher than the maxillary central incisors, at a prevalence of 22% for both sexes. Bilateral counter-winging of the central incisors was rare. Conclusion: The prevalence of bilateral winging or mesio-palatal rotation of upper central incisors was between low and intermediate in the Southern Chinese. On the contrary, the prevalence of counter-winging was low.

متن کاملA Patient with Clavicle Fracture and Recurrent Scapular Winging with Spontaneous Resolutions
Injury to the long thoracic nerve with resulting serratus anterior palsy is a typical cause of medial scapular winging. We report a case of a 70-year-old female with scapular winging in the setting of a mildly comminuted midshaft clavicle fracture. The winging persisted for three months after the fracture, which became a nonunion. The winging spontaneously resolved prior to open reduction and i...

When present in scapula, they may cause abnormal scapulothoracic movements leading to pain, snapping and winging of scapula. CASE REPORT We describe the case of a middle-aged woman with painful snapping and pseudo-winging of scapula du...

متن کاملScapula winging in a sports injury clinic.
Scapula winging is an uncommon condition but one which may be underdiagnosed. Four patients with scapula winging referred to a sports injury clinic are presented. None of the patients was aware of any trauma and a traction injury to the long thoracic nerve is proposed as the aetiology of this condition. These case reports emphasize the importance of excluding winging of the scapula in patients ...
