OBJECTIVE To determine whether 'spiking' or angulation of the tibial tubercle is associated with other radiographic markers of osteoarthritis (OA) or pain in the knee joint, and could be taken as a reliable marker for early OA, in a large general population sample. METHODS A total of 950 women from the Chingford general population survey underwent anteroposterior extended weight bearing radio...

objective: the present study assessed the association of size, axial angulation, developmental stage and bud position of the mandibular third molar with the second molar impaction in patients with mandibular second molar impaction. methods: in this descriptive-analytical study (case-control design), dental records of 5,420 patients in the age range of 12-15 years who underwent orthodontic treat...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular fracture of the distal radius is extremely common; however, the management of this fracture is controversial. OBJECTIVES With regard to the importance of intra-articular fracture of the distal radius and the best treatment method for the fracture, we sought to assess the success rate following the treatment of comminuted intra-articular fractures of the distal radiu...

IJMDS ● www.ijmds.org ● January 2015; 4(1) 560 Original Article Influence of first premolar extraction on second and third molar angulation A clinical study Tarvade SMT, Biday S ABSTRACT Background: In modern populations, the impaction rate is higher for third molars than for any other tooth. Due to the speculation of third molar role on late incisor crowding, many orthodontists prescribe remov...

Clinical symptoms caused by the elongated styloid process (SP) or calcified stylohyoid ligament were first described by W. Eagle and they are now known as Eagle syndrome (ES). Normal length of SP was stated by Eagle as 2.5 cm. The objective of this study was to determine and discuss the length of SP and medial angulation degree with computed tomography (CT), which is an affective modality in th...

Objective: To study the prevalence of root angulation through radiographic evaluation using panoramic radiographs and to record the extent of angulation among various teeth. Materials and methods: Panoramic radiographs of 506 patients within the age group of 18 to 70 years (196 males and 310 females) were subjected to a retrospective study for estimating the prevalence of root angulations of va...

introdouction: the aim of this study was to determine the associations between commonly found pathologic conditions and angulation of the lower third molar teeth. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, 370 panoramic radiographs consisting of 724 lower third molars were evaluated for any pathologies according to their angulation(mesioangular, distoangular, vertical, or horizontal). ...
