OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the initial vertical position of impacted maxillary incisor on spontaneous eruption frequency and its timing after surgical removal of the supernumerary tooth. Material And Methods: 44 patients with unilateral impaction of maxillary permanent central incisor with an average age of 10.5 years were studied for spontaneous eruption of impacted tooth. Orthopa...

The factors controlling the preparation of volcanic eruptions in monogenetic fields are still poorly understood. The fact that in monogenetic volcanism each eruption has a different vent suggests that volcanic susceptibility has a high degree of randomness, so that accurate forecasting is subjected to a very high uncertainty. Recent studies on monogenetic volcanism reveal how sensitive magma mi...

This study examined the association of low birth weight (LBW) and developmental milestones with behavioral and emotional problems in a general population sample of 3344 Chinese children and adolescents aged 6-16 years in 1997. Parents completed a self-administrated questionnaire including information about birth weight and developmental milestones (i.e. lifting the head up, tooth eruption, spee...

PURPOSE HIV status is monitored by expression of clinical symptoms as well as CD4 lymphocyte counts. The purpose of this study is to assess the relationship between delayed dental eruption (DDE) and the progression of pediatric HIV infection to AIDS. METHODS A population of 70 perinatally HIV-infected children, aged 5 months to 13 years at their time of entry into the study, received dental e...

The introduction of ribavirin to hepatitis C combination therapy with pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN)-α2a has improved sustained responses, but it has been accompanied by an increased incidence of cutaneous side effects. Most cases of drug eruption caused by ribavirin and PEG-IFN-α2 or IFN-α combination therapy were not severe and we progressed without discontinuation of the antiviral treatment....

Polymorphic light eruption is one of the few dermatological diseases in which some antioxidants have been said to be reduced in both the epidermis and the blood. This study measured the hydrosoluble antioxidant capacity in the serum of patients with polymorphic light eruption, using a commercially available kit. All patients were tested in winter, in order to avoid the influence of exposure to ...

Magma is transported in brittle rock through dikes and sills. This movement may be accompanied by the release of seismic energy that can be tracked from the Earth’s surface. Locating dikes and deciphering their dynamics is therefore of prime importance in understanding and potentially forecasting volcanic eruptions. The Seismic Amplitude Ratio Analysis (SARA) method aims to track melt propagati...

Aims. We report observation of a large-amplitude filament oscillation followed by an eruption. This is used to probe the pre-eruption condition and the trigger mechanism of solar eruptions. Methods. We used the EUV images from the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope on board SOHO satellite and the Hα images from the Flare Monitoring Telescope at Hida Observatory. The observed event is a polar...

Background The eruption pattern of temporary and permanent teeth are fairly constant with the growing age. So the age determination of an individual by examination of teeth is one of the accepted methods in legal system. A review of the literature shows there are differences in eruption pattern between different populations mainly due to variations in the constitutions and environment, so highl...

Canine forced eruption comprises one among a number of procedures that can be used in orthodontic treatment to ensure that cuspids are positioned in the dental arch in normal esthetic and functional conditions. Canine forced eruption should be characterized as an orthodontic movement. Unfortunately, in discussions of clinical orthodontic practice some professionals are reluctant to indicate ort...
