OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in depression and anxiety levels of orthodontic patients and their parents before the extrao...

In this article, we report the successful use of miniscrews in the distalization of the lower dentition to correct an Angle class III malocclusion with lower anterior crowding in a dolichofacial adult patient. Conventional intraoral and extraoral appliances have many disadvantages, including the need for patient cooperation, potential for anchorage loss, and vertical extrusion of upper molars a...

Introduction: This case report aims to illustrate the dentoalveolar changes of a 13-year-old class III patient with maxillary deficiency treated Reverse Chin Cup appliance.one popular appliances for treating patients deficient maxilla is facemask. In growing patients, treatment options include extraoral and intraoral devices. chin forehead are used anchorage supports. Case Presentation: The gir...

Introduction The goal of posterior spinal fusion in neuromuscular scoliosis is to obtain a balanced trunk as well as accommodative, pressurefree seating on a level pelvis. Development of pelvic obliquity or involvement of the pelvis in the scoliotic curve can cause difficulties with seating, costopelvic impingement, and worsening pulmonary function, ultimately leading to difficulty with caregiv...

This is a 19-year-old female involved as a passenger in a motor vehicle collision. She was stabilized at a referring hospital then transferred to the level 1 trauma center. Her major injury was to the pelvis. She is haemodynamically stable. This was a closed injury with no leg length or rotational abnormality. She had no bowel or bladder injury. There was instability to compression and distract...

Motion prediction and motion planning problems are deeply interconnected for urban autonomous driving. In this project, we target the problem of safe, feasible and human-like motion generation. A non-conservatively defensive strategy (NCDS) is proposed, which is defensive under the worst case to guarantee safety, but not conservative so as to degrade driving quality and generate behaviors which...

Introduction Mesial drifting of molar teeth in maxillary arch is corrected by movement of the molars distally. In addition to traditional distal movement techniques, such as extraoral force application and removable appliances, various intra-arch devices have been introduced since 1980s. These intra-arch appliances have nearly eliminated the need for patient cooperation. Case report The purpo...

We present the case of a dermoid cyst with an oral and a submental component in a 21-year-old Japanese woman who presented with complaints of a mass in the oral cavity and difficulty in chewing and swallowing solid foods for about 2 years. MRI shows a 55 × 65 mm well-circumscribed cystic mass extending from the sublingual area to the mylohyoid muscle. Under general anesthesia and with nasotrach...

AIM The authors' propose to combine the reverse pull headgear with a Delaire type face mask and a maxillary corticotomy to treat a Class III non-growing patient with maxillary retrusion. The aim of this report is to present two cases in which this treatment strategy was successful. BACKGROUND Several studies suggest the majority of Class III dento-skeletal malocclusions have components of max...

The purpose of this study is to summarize the treatment options for scoliosis and spine deformities from Antiquity through Medieval Times up to the Renaissance. Furthermore, it is to present the contribution of “the Father of Modern Surgery”, Ambroise Paré (1510-1590), to this field. Paré was a distinguished surgeon of the Renaissance with many contributions to surgery, including war trauma, ob...
