The Late Cretaceous anuran Hungarobatrachus szukacsiSzentesi & Venczel, 2010 was erected for isolated ilia and tibio-fibulae from the Santonian-age Iharkút locality, in northwestern Hungary. On strength of ilial features, H. szukacsi interpreted as a neobatrachian possible ranoid, making it only pre-Cenozoic occurrence both clades Laurasia. New first examples skull bones (incomplete frontoparie...

Zygomatic implants have been in use since the 1990s for the treatment of patients with severely resorbed maxillae. Here, the authors present a modification of the standard zygomatic implant technique that uses up to 3 implants on each side of the maxilla for support of a dental prosthesis.

BACKGROUND: Insufficient bone volume is a common problem encountered in the rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxillae with implant-supported prostheses. Bone volume is limited by the presence of the maxillary sinus together with loss of alveolar bone height. Sinus lift procedures increase bone volume by augmenting the sinus cavity with autogenous bone and/or commercially available bio...

Three cases of horses with nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism (NSH) are described. The horses showed typical thickening of the maxillae and mandibular bones with or without lameness. Laboratory findings included elevated concentrations of parathyroid hormone (carboxy-terminal and mid-molecule fractions), alkaline phosphatase and an increase in the fractional excretion rate of serum inorg...

The most common primary malignant tumor of the bone is osteosarcoma. Primary involvement of the craniofacial bones in osteosarcoma is relatively rare. The mandible and the maxillae are the most commonly affected bones of the head. Here, we report a rare case of de novo high-grade osteogenic sarcoma of the mastoid region of the temporal bone and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic properties.

PURPOSE To establish a simple and objective assessment of the residual ridge height of edentulous patients, we investigated the utility of a newly developed "examination scale" based on our clinical research. METHODS The sites corresponding to the right and left first molars in study models (100 sets) of edentulous maxillae and mandibles were examined. Subjective assessment and assessment wit...
