The nymph and reared male and female of a new ephemerellid species, which was collected from southern China and named Teloganopsis setosa Zhou, sp. n., are described. The nymph is unique because of its long and dense setae on labrum, mandibles, maxillae, labium, and forelegs as well as the elongated segments II of labial palpi and expanded paraglossae. The male can be differentiated from close ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate stress patterns at the bone-implant interface of tilted versus nontilted implant configurations in edentulous maxillae using finite element models of two tilted and one nontilted configuration. Analysis predicted the maximum absolute value of principal compressive stress near the cervical area of the distal implant for all models. The tilted configurations ...

The genus Oplognathus MacLeay, 1819 is revised based on type material of two the three described species and scattered additional from several collections around world. diagnostic characters are confirmed, distinguishing it other Brazilian Areodina mainly by: quadrangular clypeus with trilobate apex in males, rounded females, extending beyond labrum both sexes; mandibles distinct teeth; maxilla...

Mechanical tension is widely applied on the suture to modulate the growth of craniofacial bones. Deeply understanding the features of bone formation in expanding sutures could help us to improve the outcomes of clinical treatment and avoid some side effects. Although there are reports that have uncovered some biological characteristics, the regular pattern of sutural bone formation in response ...

Introduction: Leontiasis ossea is the most severe bone complication of maxillae chronic renal failure. The objective this work to determine clinical, paraclinical and therapeutic aspects condition. Observation: A 42-year-old patient with anuric terminal failure dialysis for 12 years had consulted multiple maxillo-mandibular swelling evolving 2 deforming face discomfort chewing. biological asses...

A complete humerus referred to Agriotherium is described, collected from early-late Hemphillian deposits Zacatecas. widely represented by isolated molars, mandibles, and maxillae in faunas of Eurasia North America. In the literature, postcranial elements are scarce briefly described with little detail. The greatest diversity known Langebaanweg quarry South Africa; however, only specimen Mexico....

Introduction: Implant-supported prostheses are an excellent treatment option for totally edentulous patients, however, some conditions, such as extremely atrophic jaws, may limit their application. Aims: to demonstrate and discuss, through a series of clinical cases, the functional aesthetic resolution patients with maxillae, using three different implant-prosthesis approach. Methods Material: ...

No immediate loading was performed. Four months after surgery, the implants were loaded, and an excellent aesthetic and functional result was achieved with no increase in bone volume from bone grafts. The entire residual bone was used as an anchorage for the implants. The excellent results achieved demonstrate that zygomatic implants in association with other conservative and guided surgical ap...
