background: abdominal circumference (ac), biparietal diameters (bpd) and femoral length (fl) are now the main parameters used to obtain estimated fetal weight (efw). although the role of soft tissue parameters in determining fetal weight was proved but clinical attention to mid-thigh soft tissue thickness (stt) is limited. objective: to find the impression of stt on birth weight (bw) and repres...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to determine buccal bone and soft tissue thicknesses and their correlation in the maxillary anterior region using cone beam computed tomography (cbct). materials and methods: in this cross sectional study, 330 sound maxillary incisors in 60 patients with a mean age of 37.5 years were assessed by cbct scans. for better visualization of soft tissue, patie...

Introduction: Soft tissue has a prominent role in diagnosis and treatment plan in orthodontics. Facial proportions are measurable on lateral cephalograms. The purpose of this study was to compare the means of the normal soft tissue proportions of babol people with the norms of Caucasians. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 100 cases with normal occlusion and proportional facia...

BACKGROUND Greater thickness of the tissue extending laterally from the greater trochanter has been associated with a lower risk of hip fracture in women. The effect of trochanteric soft tissue thickness on the risk of incident hip fracture has not been evaluated in men. METHODS We measured trochanteric soft tissue thickness by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry for all incident hip fracture ca...

the application of laser in dentistry is considered as a favorable technique for patients due to its many advantages compare to other current methods. one of the main goals in pediatric dentistry is to provide the treatment as comfortable as possible without any risks for the care. laser is being used in different pediatric dental conditions including caries detection, caries removal and cavity...

This study aimed to understand how systematic changes in arch height and two designs of heel wedging affect soft tissues under the foot. Soft tissue thickness under the heel and navicular was measured using ultrasound. Heel pad thickness was measured when subjects were standing on a flat surface and standing on an orthosis with 4 and 8 degree extrinsic wedges and 4 mm and 8 mm intrinsic wedges ...

background:   although the majority of soft tissue masses are benign, it is important to consider malignancy in differential diagnoses. because most soft tissue sarcomas present as a painless mass, clinicians must watch for signs suggestive of malignancy, including large size, rapid growth, and site deep into the deep fascia.the purpose of this study was to determine the relative prevalence acc...
