AIM The study aimed to investigate the proximity of maxillary posterior teeth roots to maxillary sinus and measure the distance of maxillary posterior teeth roots and the sinus floor as well as the thickness of bone between the roots and alveolar cortical bone using Denta scan®. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study samples include Denta scan® images of fifty patients with normally erupted bilatera...

Purpose: To introduce and validate a new classification system for the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) injury based on the proximity and positional relation between the tooth root and the inferior alveolar canal (IAC). Methods: In this retrospective study, consecutive patients, who underwent piezosurgery extractions of complicated impacted mandibular third molars from March to November 2014, were...

Based on the idea that the closer the query terms are in a document, the more relevant this document is, we experiment an IR method based on a fuzzy proximity degree of the query term occurences in a document to compute its relevance to the query. Our model is able to deal with Boolean queries, but contrary to the traditional extensions of the basic Boolean IR model, it does not explicitly use ...

We report here the results of fuzzy term proximity method applied to Terabyte Task. Fuzzy proxmity main feature is based on the idea that the closer the query terms are in a document, the more relevant this document is. With this principle, we have a high precision method so we complete by these obtained with Zettair search engine default method (dirichlet). Our model is able to deal with Boole...

High mesenteric root sarcomas are difficult to manage due to their proximity to the superior mesenteric vessels. Resection of these tumors along with the blood vessels may lead to a complicated and protracted convalescence for the patient. Resection remains the main treatment modality for these tumors. During operation on high mesenteric root sarcomas, sound clinical judgment is needed for the ...

This case report describes an external apical root resorption resulted from the unusual root morphology of the neighbouring tooth. A 28-year-old female was referred to the department of endodontics with a complaint of intense pain in her maxillary second premolar tooth. The clinical and radiographical evaluation revealed an external apical resorption in the mesial root of the maxillary first mo...

The inability to answer proximity queries efficiently for spaces of dimension d > 2 has led to the study of approximation to proximity problems. Several techniques have been proposed to address different approximate proximity problems. In this paper, we present a new and unified approach to proximity searching, which provides efficient solutions for several problems: spherical range queries, id...
