We reviewed retrospectively the outcome of the treatment by impaction grafting of periprosthetic femoral fractures around loose stems in 106 patients with Vancouver type-B2 and type-B3 fractures. Eighty-nine patients had a cemented revision with impaction grafting and a long or short stem. The remaining 17 had cemented revision without impaction grafting. Fractures treated by impaction grafting...

OBJECTIVE This guideline provides evidence-based recommendations on managing cerumen impaction, defined as an accumulation of cerumen that causes symptoms, prevents assessment of the ear, or both. We recognize that the term "impaction" suggests that the ear canal is completely obstructed with cerumen and that our definition of cerumen impaction does not require a complete obstruction. However, ...

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...

This plain language summary serves as an overview in explaining earwax (cerumen). The summary applies to patients older than 6 months with a clinical diagnosis of earwax impaction and is based on the 2017 update of the Clinical Practice Guideline: Earwax (Cerumen Impaction). The evidence-based guideline includes research that supports diagnosis and treatment of earwax impaction. The guideline w...

The differential diagnosis of focal lung masses in childhood is large and includes mucoid impaction, congenital masses, inflammatory lung diseases, and neoplastic conditions. Mucoid impaction has a characteristic “finger-inglove” appearance on chest x-ray. The etiology of mucoid impaction can be quickly narrowed by a focused clinical and radiological evaluation. We describe an index patient and...

Retention of primary teeth beyond the expected time exfoliation is uncommon; this condition known as persistence. A retained tooth, with crown in good condition, roots, and supporting alveolar bone can serve adults for many years. Aims- To determine prevalence investigate consequences their Materials Methods- ORTHOPANTAMOGRAM (OPG) data obtained from pediatric preventive dentistry 500 patients,...

This study investigates the effect of air inlet size on (i) the flowfield generated in a dry powder inhaler, and (ii) the device-specific resistance, and the subsequent effect on powder deagglomeration. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was used to simulate the flowfield generated in an Aerolizer with different air inlet sizes at 30, 45, and 60 l/min. Dispersion performance of the mod...

OBJECTIVES The impaction of the second mandibular molar (MM2) has recently become more prevalent. Several etiological hypothesis have been proposed to investigate the association between skeletal features and impaction of MM2. The aims of this study were to analyze the skeletal features in patients with MM2 impaction and the association between arrested eruption of MM2 and the presence of the t...

Acute as well as chronic and recurrent colic episodes were caused by right dorsal colon (RDC) impaction in 7.98% of all colic patients. Significantly higher statistical evidence was figured out in hucul horses, mares and 7-year-old animals. Diagnosis of RDC impaction was established on the basis of rectal palpation (68.75%) or laparotomy (31.25%). Yield of rectal palpation was limited by a diff...

Objective: To document the frequency of agenesis, position, class and angulation impacted mandibular third molar teeth in patients aged range between 21-25 years visiting Khyber College Dentistry using Pell Gregory Winter’s classification system. Study Design: Descriptive Cross-Sectional study. Setting: Department Maxillofacial Surgery Orthodontics Dentistry. Period: March to September, 2020. M...
