UNLABELLED The aim of this retrospective study was a quantitative analysis of the effect of graded inferior oblique recessions (8 mm, 10 mm or maximal) in strabismus sursoadductorius. METHOD 234 patients (2-81 years of age) with unilateral strabismus sursoadductorius and stereopsis were operated between 1990 and 1999. Maximal recession (14.6 mm) included an anteroposition to the lateral aspec...

BACKGROUND Etiology and date of palsy are two important parameters that affect the treatment protocol of sixth nerve palsies.

Study objective: Reduction of health inequalities is a primary public health target in many countries. A change of proportion of low income families might affect child health inequalities. Yet, the importance of family incomes in high income welfare states is not well established. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of increased percentage of low income families on child health ...

Although the presence of calculus and gingival inflammation, as evidenced by bleeding on probing, are not always coincident (1) the close proximity of supragingival calculus to the gingiva e...

Gingival recession is clinically manifested by an apical displacement of the gingival tissues, leading to root surface exposure. It is a concern for both patients and clinician for several reasons such as root hypersensitivity, erosion, root caries, and esthetics. Recently, new techniques have been suggested for the surgical treatment of multiple adjacent recession type defects. The current cas...
