Background :Soft tissue profile can be widely different in various populations. Furthermore, this profile can be also continues to change throughout life. However, there are few studies that quantitatively evaluate the soft tissue profile in Iranian population. In order to determine normal reference values of facial parts in our populations, we aimed to measure standards for facial soft tissu...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine the average facial proportions and mandibular movement capacity of 316 first-year dental students who carefully recorded them on each other. MATERIALS AND METHODS This early exacting clinical experience was closely supervised by the authors in Columbus, Ohio during 1969-70. Five vertical and six horizontal distances were measured on each subj...

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

The derivatives with fenbufen and ethacrynic acid core compounds was synthesized through a facial preparation of 1-amino-4-azidobutane. The subsequent coupling with 102 members of carboxylic acids afforded amide products. The in situ screening using colorimetric assay with 3-(4.5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide showed that fenbufen but not ethacrynic acid butyl amide membe...

To study the changing patterns of mid face fractures using computed tomography scan. 100 patients with midface fracture requiring open reduction and internal fixation were selected for this study. They underwent 2D 3D The lines studied radiographically intraoperatively compared standard Le Fort lines. showed that men ranging from age 21-30 years more likely to suffer women M:F =19:5. Road traff...

INTRODUCTION Trauma caused by traffic accidents is among the main etiologies involved in the occurrence of facial fractures throughout the world. However, the trauma mechanisms involved are different according to the location where the study was performed, due to different conditions of development, legislation, and culture. A retrospective study was done between February 2001 and July 2006, wi...

thick surrounding adipose tissue, and stabilization of the mandible and maxilla by the unerupted teeth.2 Pediatric mandible fractures are uncommon and have been treated by a wide variety of fixation methods. Incomplete or nondisplaced fractures as well as fractures of the subcondylar region are treated by traditional methods of a soft diet or closed reduction. Displaced fractures are better ser...

several factors including cancer, malformations and traumas may cause large facial mutilation. these functional and aesthetic deformities negatively affect the psychological perspectives and quality of life of the mutilated patient. conventional treatments are prone to fail aesthetically and functionally. the recent introduction of the composite tissue allotransplantation (cta), which uses tran...

BACKGROUND The dermatoscopic features of facial lentigo maligna (LM), facial lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM) and acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) have been well described. This is the first description of the dermatoscopic appearance of a clinical series of cutaneous non-facial non-acral lentiginous growth pattern melanomas. OBJECTIVE To describe the dermatoscopic features of a series of cutan...

Many researchers adopt Local Binary Pattern for pattern analysis. However, the long histogram created by Local Binary Pattern is not suitable for large-scale facial database. This paper presents a simple facial pattern descriptor for facial expression recognition. Local pattern is computed based on local gradient flow from one side to another side through the center pixel in a 3x3 pixels region...
