Aplasia of the mandibular condyle [PDF]
Aplasia of the mandibular condyle is extremely rare when not seen as a part of a syndrome. A case, apparently with no soft tissue aberrations, is described and a possible connection with the hemifacial microsomia syndrome is discussed.

Purpose. This study evaluated the efficacy of a regenerative approach using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and CAD-CAM customized pure and porous hydroxyapatite (HA) scaffolds to replace the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condyle. Methods.

Interleukin-6 Expression in Disc Derangement of Human Temporomandibular Joint and Association with Osteoarthrosis [PDF]
The inflammatory process is a coordinated response that protects host after infection or trauma, involving several molecular reactions. Once the inflammation is closely linked to the process of destruction of the temporomandibular joint, this study aims ...

The oldest Brazilian snakes from the cenomanian (Early Late Cretaceous) [PDF]
South American Mesozoic snake diversity is mostly represented by genera from the Cenomanian (Najash), Santonian- Campanian (Dinilysia), and Campanian-Maastrichtian (Alamitophis, Patagoniophis, Rionegrophis, and Australophis) of Patagonia, Argentina.

Abstract Measurement error (ME) in geometric morphometrics has been the subject of countless articles, but none specific to the effect of time lags on landmark digitization error. Yet, especially for visiting scientists working on museum collections, it is not uncommon to collect data in multiple rounds, with interruptions of weeks or years. To explore

Osteoid osteoma of the mandibular condyle: A diagnostic dilemma
Osteoma is benign osteogenic lesions characterized by proliferation of either cancellous or compact bone and can be central, peripheral, or extraskeletal. The most common site is in the skull. When affecting the facial bones, they are frequently found in

Whole‐bone shape of hominoid manual proximal phalanges
Abstract Functional morphologists have long noted that skeletal adaptations in primate phalanges reflect locomotor behavior. While most studies have successfully used two‐dimensional measurements to quantify general features of phalanx shape, a whole‐bone three‐dimensional analysis may better capture more subtle aspects of phalanx morphology that have ...

We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Unilateral condylar aplasia: A case report
Growth disturbances in the mandibular condyle region include aplasia, hypoplasia, and hyperplasia. Non-syndromic aplasia of the mandibular condyle is very rare, and may be due to congenital or acquired causes.
