Objective: This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of impacted 3rd molar, angulation status, level eruption, relationship with occlusal plane molar teeth, and rate pathology in their own adjacent tooth Turkish adult individuals who applied Akdeniz University Faculty Dentistry via panoramic radiographic images. Material Methods: 700 patients were examined for this retrospective study. In addi...

INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of both adults and children. Distal radius fractures frequently heal with residual displacement and angulation with cast treatment and often cause distal radioulnar joint dysfunction including pain, decreased rotation, weakness, and arthritis. In spite of the frequency of these injuries, the indications for surgical treat...

The purpose of this article is to describe the use of shortening and angulation to manage composite bone and soft tissue loss associated with combat-related type IIIB open tibia fractures. Four patients underwent placement of a software-driven circular fixator with acute shortening and angulation to manage composite bone and soft tissue loss. Frames were applied using the Rings First Method, an...

Congenital ventral penile angulation without hypospadias is a rare disease and causes great anxiety to the parents. The aim of our study is the presentation of this disease, especially the indications of surgical treatment and the protocol applied in our clinic. We retrospectively studied 23 male patients aged 2.5 to 7 years old (av 5.2 y) with important penile angulation (over 45°) without hyp...

Angular deformities of the distal radius of 15 sheep were induced by asymmetrical epiphysial distraction. Eleven sheep were between 10 and 20 weeks old; four were older than 24 weeks. Gradual distraction on the medial side of the limb caused partial separation of the epiphysis from the metaphysis, resulting in a valgus deformity. The distraction device was removed three to six weeks after inser...

Anterior subluxation (hyperflexion sprain) is localized, purely ligamentous disruption of the cervical spine caused by a limited flexion force. When associated with a simple wedge fraction, also a flexion injury, anterior subluxation may be the more significant lesion. Radiographically, anterior subluxation is characterised by (1) a localized kyphotic angulation at the level of injury; (2) ante...

While the Periotest continues to be used in assessing the integrity of implants, there are numerous reports of its inconsistencies. To understand more precisely what the Periotest is actually measuring, a mathematical model was developed that illustrates the effect that various geometric and clinical parameters have on the Periotest value (PTV). In addition, the model was validated with an in v...

This is a retrospective analysis of a consecutive series of patients undergoing vertebroplasty and vertebral augmentation in an outpatient setting for high degree osteoporotic vertebral fractures or vertebra plana using consistently low volumes (less than 3 cc) of Cortoss® cement, rather than polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). The results in these patients demonstrate that it is both technically fe...

Implant prosthodontics will become straightforward if the fixture position and angulation are ideal. But the prosthetic treatment may be complicated by component and framework breakage, inadequate tissue support, poor implant position and angulation. Complications during maintenance of implant supported prostheses have considerable clinical and laboratory implications. It is important for the p...

This study was undertaken to examine which factors contributed to the correction of crowding in two patients who underwent nonextraction orthodontic treatment. A study model analysis was conducted to determine the effects of the orthodontic treatment for crowding with high canines on crown angulation and dental arch width in two patients. The results showed that the crown angulation was signifi...
