Introduction: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the morphometric differences of the skull in male and female Zell sheep. Methods: For this purpose, 30 heads (15 adult males and 15 adult female) of Zell sheep breed were collected from the local slaughter-house. The skulls were prepared using the boiling maceration according to the usual techniques, and the mandible was dissociated fr...

The presence of accessory foramina and canals in the mandible is frequently overlooked in clinical procedures. It is important to note that these anatomical variations may only be pre-surgically detected on imaging exams, and such detection may directly influence therapeutic success. We describe a previously unreported case of accessory mental foramen located in the lingual cortical bone of the...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine whether the panoramic mandibular index (PMI) is useful for assessing bone mineral density. We also analyzed the potential correlations between PMI parameters and patient age. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four observers measured the PMI of both sides of the mental foramen using a picture archiving and communication system and images in the Digital Imagin...

This case series describes two cases of a head injury resulting in traumatic neuropathy the infraorbital nerve and mental nerve, respectively. Both presented with head-shaking behaviour assumed facial dysaesthesia. is cause not previously described horses. One horse (Case 1) had small wound at level foramen was diagnosed bony fragment adjacent to using computed tomography (CT) ultrasonography. ...
