Delayed reconstruction of large lower lip defects after traumatic avulsion is a challenge in medically compromised patients with concomitant cheek skin burn. Combination of orthograde submental transposition flap and anteriorly based ventral rectangular myomucosal tongue flap is useful. The former reconstructs the body of the defect, and the latter masks the red lip, resembling vermilion. In th...

The cells of the anterior region of the larval fatbody of Drosophila melanogaster accumulate kynurenine at the end of the third larval instar, whereas the cells of the posterior region are involved in pteridine metabolism. Through a series of transplantation experiments it has been demonstrated that the anterior fat cells synthesize kynurenine. The mutant vermilion lacks kynurenine, and the ant...

This study sought to evaluate changes in the soft tissue contour after chin bone graft harvesting. Thirty selected patients underwent chin bone graft harvesting and evaluations were made using lateral cephalograms preoperatively and postoperatively at 30 and 180 days. Fixed points and lines were established on cephalometric tracings and used to measure the selected vertical and sagittal paramet...

This paper presents scientific analyses of the wall paintings in Wudang Lamasery, which is located Baotou area Inner Mongolia, China. Raman spectroscopy was used to analyze pigments mural Lam rim Hall. The results show that vermilion, red lead, chrome yellow, emerald green and synthetic ultramarine were used. existence provides a clue for date painted.

the genetic constitution of the implant itself as well as the relative stages of development of implant and host may also influence this property of autonomy or non-autonomy of the implant. As a concluding example, we shall mention briefly, experiments made to establish the time in development at which vermilion pigmentation is irreversibly determined, i.e., after which a vermilion eye disc imp...

PURPOSE To evaluate long-term results in the bilateral cleft lip repair by Mulliken's method, using anthropometric measurements, we assessed the growth of the nose and upper lip after the operation by comparing with those from 30 children without bilateral cleft lip. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-four patients had their bilateral cleft lip and nasal deformity repaired simultaneously by Mulliken...

BACKGROUND To adequately perform rehabilitation of edentulous patients by a complete removable dental prosthesis (CRDP) is from basic interest to dentists to understand the morphologic changes caused by re-establishment of a physiologic jaw relationship. Anthropometric analyses of standardized frontal view and profile photographs may help elucidate such changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Photograp...

The aim of this article is to demonstrate the reproducibility Wilson-Richmond Categorisation Tool for assessment lip morphology. This categorisation system was initially developed as a result identification various morphological features vermilion lips, following review three-dimensional facial scans collected on 2,246 patients (1,095 male and 1,151 female) in 15-yearold population part Avon Lo...
