PURPOSE Acetabular deficiencies in young patients can be restored in several ways during total hip arthroplasty. Currently, cementless cups are most frequently used. Impaction bone grafting of acetabular defects is a more biological approach, but is it cost-effective in young patients on the long term? METHODS We designed a decision model for a cost-utility analysis of a cemented cup with ace...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of impacted mandibular second molar (MM2) and the association between MM2 impaction and crowding. The clinical significance of the angle between first and second mandibular molar and of the space between the first mandibular molar (MM1) and the anterior margin of mandibular ramus in MM2 impaction were also evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospec...

Tooth impaction rarely occurs in primary dentition. Most of the primary teeth impactions are seen in second molars. The purpose of this article is to present a 4-year-old girl with bilateral impaction of inverted primary maxillary central incisors which trauma had displaced their tooth germ before erupting.

Bronchial atresia is a rare pulmonary anomaly characterized by a blindly-terminating bronchus, mucoid impaction, and hyperinflation of the obstructed segment of the lung.1 Chest radiographic findings typically show mucoid impaction, segmental overinflation, and hypovascularity, although most patients do not have any respiratory symptoms.1,2 We herein present 2 cases of bronchial atresia with un...

The canine tooth is important both functionally and aesthetically, being positioned between the anterior posterior teeth. upper has longest eruption path, forming in deepest part of maxillary bone often experiencing disorders, leading to significant aesthetic functional issues. Early detection management impaction are crucial pediatric dentistry, which focuses on growth eruption. prevalence ran...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Gallstone impaction at the ampulla of Vater is a critical condition, and the standard treatment is endoscopic papillotomy. However, the clinical features remain largely unclear, and some patients are reluctant to undergo papillotomy because of a bleeding tendency. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical features of gallstone impaction at the ampulla of Vater ...

Introdouction: Impacted and partially erupted third molars can cause various symptoms and pathologies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between commonly observed pathological conditions and the impaction depth of lower third molar teeth. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs including 724 lower third molars were evaluated to asses...

objective: the present study assessed the association of size, axial angulation, developmental stage and bud position of the mandibular third molar with the second molar impaction in patients with mandibular second molar impaction. methods: in this descriptive-analytical study (case-control design), dental records of 5,420 patients in the age range of 12-15 years who underwent orthodontic treat...

an 8-month-old female thoroughbred foal was presented showing signs of colic. the foal was anxious,exhibiting signs of abdominal pain and distention. the foal had tachycardia (120 beats/min), tachypnea (40breaths/min). blood samples obtained for haematologic and serum biochemistry analysis that showed a pcvof 30% and a tpp of 70 g/l. the peritoneal fluid analysis revealed a clear fluid with mil...
