BACKGROUND/AIM To assess the possibility of the eruption of the lower third molar on the basis of the measured parameters: retromolar space, mesiodistal crown width of a molar and the third molar angulation. METHODS The investigation included 104 patients both sexes (43 boys, and 61 girls), 16 to 25 years old (mean age, 18 years). It was performed using the orthopanthomographic radiographs an...

Background There are no radiographic studies in Nepalese population for determination of sagittal root positioning maxillary anterior teeth. The and angulation plays a vital role case selection immediate implant placement.
 Objective To evaluate, classify compare position between different teeth.
 Method A 2-year retrospective study was conducted on 100 patients (53 males 47 females) ...

PURPOSE Physiological range of tibiofemoral angle (TFA) is poorly defined and may lead to unnecessary therapeutic interventions. Studies on TFA developmental pattern suggest that racial and ethnic differences are present; children in north-east India who have not yet been studied need to be evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Cross-sectional study of clinical TFA, intermalleolar distance and inte...

This paper examines differences in the processes by which the cranial base flexes in humans and extends in chimpanzees. In addition, we test the extent to which one can use comparisons of cranial base angles in humans and non-human primates to predict vocal tract dimensions. Four internal cranial base angles and one external cranial base angle were measured in a longitudinal sample of Homo sapi...

OBJECTIVES The use of locked plates in repairing osteopenic 3- and 4-part proximal humerus fractures remains controversial. The purpose of this article was to report the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation in low-energy proximal humerus fractures treated with locked plating in patients older than 55 years and stratify risk of failure or complication based on initial radiographic fe...

STUDY DESIGN Multicenter randomized controlled trial. OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of balloon kyphoplasty (BKP) with nonsurgical management (NSM) during 24 months in patients with painful vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Recently, several large randomized controlled trials have been conducted and reported how vertebral augmentation compares ...
