OSTEOTRANS MX® (Takiron Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan) is a bioactive resorbable maxillofacial osteosynthetic material composed of an unsintered hydroxyapatite/poly-l-lactide composite, and its effective osteoconductive capacity has been previously documented. However, the mechanical strength of this plate system is unclear. Thus, the aim of this in vitro study was to assess its tensile and shear str...

PURPOSE To evaluate bone formation between the proximal and distal segments after a sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) with bent plate fixation. PATIENTS AND METHODS The subjects were 23 patients (46 sides) who underwent bilateral SSRO setback surgery. They were divided into titanium and absorbable plate groups. A 3 to 7-mm gap was made between the proximal and distal segments and a bent p...

Morphological integration and modularity are important points of intersection between evolution and the development of organismal form. Identification and quantification of integration are also of increasing paleoanthropological interest. In this study, the "posterior face," i.e., the mandibular ramus and its integration with the associated midline and lateral basicranium, is analyzed in latera...

Sagittal MR imaging was used to investigate cerebral sulci bordering the functionally important areas on the lateral suprasylvian surface. The aim of the study was to identify characteristic relationships of the inferior precentral sulcus to nearby sulci and gyri. MR findings in 20 healthy volunteers were compared with those in 62 intact postmortem hemispheres. MR techniques are described for t...

BACKGROUND Different surgical procedures are utilized for treatment of various diseases of the posterior mandible depending on the type of disease, site, duration and age of the patient. A thorough knowledge of the anatomical relations of structures and adequate surgical skills are needed to minimize complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the indications and outcome of surgica...

INTRODUCTION An epidermoid cyst is a benign cyst usually found on the skin. Bone cysts are very rare and if they appear in bone they usually appear in the distal phalanges of the fingers. Epidermoid cysts of the jaws are uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case, of a 41 year-old female patient admitted to our department because of pain and swelling in the parotid and masseteric region-le...

to study drought resistance indices of eight potato cultivars and to determine the most tolerant variety, two experiments were conducted in the form of complete randomized block design with three replications (stress and non-stress conditions) in 2002. seven indices, ssi, tol, sti, msti, gmp, tol , and mp were used to determine tolerant varieties. it was found that mp, sti, gmp, and msti were a...
