introduction: determining the skeletal age and remaining growth potential of patients are important factors in orthodontic treatment. evaluating cervical vertebrae development is a reliable method for determining skeletal age. this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between dental calcification and stages of skeletal maturation. materials and methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study...

objective: the development of vertebrae is a complex phenomenon that is correlated with distinct morphological and biochemical alterations in the paraxial mesenchyme and glycoconjugates. the purpose of this study is to investigate the glycosylation pattern in paraxial mesenchyme-forming vertebrae by using the lectin histochemical technique. materials and methods: in this descriptive-analytic st...

BACKGROUND Vertebroplasty (VP) and kyphoplasty (KP) are emerging procedures for almost immediate pain relief when treating osteoporotic or osteolytic fractures. The main reported complication is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) leakage, which may lead to compression of neural structures or embolism. Different authors have proposed that intravertebral pressure (IP) is an important factor determinin...

The purpose of this study was to draw attention the number lumbar vertebrae in BA B1 crosses (Bafra×F1 (Bafra×Akkaraman)) lambs (75% Bafra and 25% Akkaraman), effect 7 on some carcass traits. Even though studies reported that might be considerably different dependent sheep genotype, has not been for Turkish breeds. While a performed, seven have identified four eighteen lambs. means length (80.8...
