Background and Aim: Inappropriate transfer of pressure during final impression making in fabrication of complete denture can result in ridge resorption. This study aimed to assess the effect of vent size and spacer thickness on pressure produced during maxillary edentulous impression making by different impression materials in vitro. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was carried...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the pituitary gland dimensions due to age and weight using computed tomography (CT) in dogs and cats. The CT images of pituitary gland were assessed in 11 client-owned dogs (six males and five females; age range, 1 to 9 years) and 15 client-owned cats (eight males and seven females; age range, 1 to 14 years) with no evidence of pituitary diseases. The...

purpose : to evaluate the accuracy of ocular sonography in measurement of size of intraocular foreign bodies (iofb) methods : in a case series study, 58 consecutive patients with intraocular foreign body were included. ocular sonography was performed to detect intraocular foreign body and the results were compared with the same intraoperative findings. results : metallic material was found to b...

size at sexual maturity and patterns of somatic growth are important aspects of reproductive history of crab. the main purpose of this study is to provide an estimate for the onset of morphological sexual maturity in mangrove crab, opusia indica from a population located in korangi creek intertidal mud flat (karachi, pakistan) based on relative growth. the crabs were monthly collected through q...

introduction: conventional methods for diagnosis of external root resorption (err) are based on clinical findings and x-ray observations which are not appropriate for early diagnosis. the present study assessed the effect of different sizes and field of views (fovs) in the diagnosis of simulated external root resorption by cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: in this dia...
