Various dermatoglyphic parameters like finger print pattern, atd angle, absolute ridge count & ab, bc ,cd, and ad ridge counts were observed in 150 cases of congenital cardiac disease, comprising of 72 cases of Ventricular Septal Defects (VSD), 60 cases of Atrial Septal Defects (ASD), 9 cases of Coarctation of Aorta (COA) & 9 cases of Tetralogy of Fallot's (TOF). Same dermatoglyphic parameters ...

The purpose of this study was to develop an improved technique of alveolar ridge augmentation by distraction osteogenesis using distraction screws, and to investigate tissue reactions to titanium implants at the distraction site. The left mandibular premolars were extracted from 6 adult dogs. After 12 weeks, a box-shaped osteotomy of the alveolar bone was carried out, and distraction devices we...

Adequate amount of alveolar bone is critical for achieving functional prosthetic rehabilitation with adequate aesthetics and biomechanical support. Several techniques have been developed for osseous reconstruction in atrophic upper and lower jaws. Ridge augmentation is an accepted successful method used in dental practice to increase bone volume in sites chosen for dental implant placement. Tit...

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to evaluate clinically and radiographically, the efficacy of immediate ridge augmentation to reconstruct the vertical and horizontal dimensions at extraction sites of periodontally hopeless tooth using an autogenous chin block graft. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 11 patients (7 male & 4 female) with localized advanced bone loss around single roote...

ing. The band control received a coulterknife pass without fertilizer. Soybean response to direct P application was evaluated in seven trials (Sites 1 through 7). The treatments were applied in the fall (October or November) after harvesting the previous corn crop and before soils had frozen. At the remaining seven trials (Sites 8 through 14), P was applied 1 year earlier (in the fall prior to ...

pterygotes (e.g., the tracheobranchial appendages in mayfly nymphs, the tracheal gills of larval gyrinid beetles and those of neuropterids such as Corydalis) usually serve functions other than sexual, i.e., they are either respiratory or locomotory. As a first step to elucidate what drove the evolution of non-sexual abdominal appendages in Bennini, we investigated topology and anatomy of the ap...

Background and Aim: Medical grade calcium sulfate hemihydrate (MGCSH) is used as a bone graft material for socket preservation. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in bone width and height after tooth extraction and socket preservation with MGCSH using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This study evaluated 17 systemically healthy patients over a 1-year period. Th...
