Methods: Searches were conducted May June 2021 Medline (via Ovid), Google Scholar CAPES databases. Thirty-eight studies that evaluated morphology, morphology...

lingual thyroid (lt) is a rare developmental thyroid anomaly usually affecting. although the exact pathogenesis of this ectopic, accessory thyroid tissue is not known, it generally originates from epithelial tissue of non-obliterated thyroglossal ductus. in this report, a case of lingual thyroid in a 45- year old male patient with difficulty in breathing and swallowing complaints for five years...

Common treatment for buccal gingival recession caused by an aberrant frenal attachment includes elimination of the frenum and treatment of the gingival recession by soft tissue graft to increase the width of the attached gingiva that in turn results in root coverage. Keratinised gingival, if present in adequate amount, maintains the gingival health by protecting the marginal gingiva. This not o...

BACKGROUND To assess the clinical feasibility of lingual bone guttering technique for surgical extraction of mandibular third molars. MATERIALS AND METHODS 20 patients with thick lingual cortical plate were included in the study. Surgical extraction of mandibular third molars by lingual bone guttering technique was performed in all the subjects. These subjects were evaluated for integrity of ...

BACKGROUND: The tongue, which plays a very important role in food intake by vertebrates, exhibits significant morphological variations that appear to represent adaptation to the current environmental conditions of each respective habitat. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present investigation was to investigate lingual structure in adult budgerigar. METHODS: Tongues of 12 adult budgerigars were used ...

OBJECTIVES The interforminal region, between the mandibular foramen, is known as a relatively safe area that is free of anatomic structures, such as inferior alveolar nerve, submandibular fossa, and lingual side of the mandible is occasionally neglected for its low clinical importance. Even in the case of a severely constricted alveolus, perforation of the lingual cortical bone had been intende...

disease agents that principally target the tongue are relatively rare. it seems that type of food and roughage play an important role to predispose the animals to lingual ulcers. during a period of four years different aspects of cattle lingual fossa ulcer were studied in a semi-industrial dairy farm in tehran. the affected animals showed various stages of ulcer formation in their lingual fossa...
