Background: Many research give scatterlly distributed relationship between obesity and the medial longitudinal arch of foot. Among those studies, only two studies have stratified the samples in to underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese groups in the recent past, to explore the relationship of BMI to arch of the foot on the basis of gender variation. Yet these studies contradicted each...

OBJECTIVE This study evaluated dental arch dimensional changes of Brazilian children. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dental casts were taken from 66 children (29 males; 37 females) with normal occlusion selected among 1,687 students from public and private schools aged 9, 10, 11 and 12 years, according to the following criteria: Class I canine and molar relationships; well-aligned upper and lower denta...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The stability of orthodontic treatment depends on preserving the patient's pretreatment arch form and arch size during and after treatment. PURPOSE This investigation was aimed to study the size and shape of Iranian mandibular dental arch and evaluate the correlation of their average dental arch with commercially available preformed rectangular nickel-titanium arch wi...

Introduction: A study model is a precise three dimensional replica of patient’s dentition and plays an important role in treatment planning. Many digital multi-media applications have become available to the clinician and his or her staff to facilitate standard procedures in practice and management. The aim of this study is to evaluate reliability and validity of dental measurement made on dig...

Digital arch arteriography is a technique in which the cervicocerebral vasculature is studied by injecting small amounts of contrast material (20 ml or less of diatrizoate meglumine 60%) into the aortic arch. It was used as the initial phase of arteriography in 100 patients with cerebrovascular disease. Five to ten series were obtained in various projections to evaluate the cerebrovascular syst...
