Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

INTERDEPENDENCE OF DENTAL ARCH FORM AND THE SURFACE AREA OF THE DEVELOPED OCCLUSION PLAN

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Oral Rehabilitation
The shape of the dental arch influences both the alignment of the teeth and the aesthetics of the smile. This study analyzes the impact of different orthodontic arch shapes on the surface of the occlusion plane, using precise digital measurements ...

Dental Arch Wire [PDF]

open access: yes
Straightening teeth is an arduous process requiring months, often years, of applying corrective pressure by means of arch wires-better known as brace-which may have to be changed several times in the course of treatment.

The effect of smoking on survival and bone loss of implants with a fluoride-modified surface: a 2-year retrospective analysis of 1106 implants placed in daily practice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Aim: To compare survival and peri-implant bone loss of implants with a fluoride-modified surface in smokers and nonsmokers. Materials and Methods: Patient files of all patients referred for implant treatment from November 2004 to 2007 were scrutinized.

Linking individual variation in facial musculature to facial behavior in rhesus macaques

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expression is a key component of primate communication, and primates (including humans) have a complex system of facial musculature underpinning this behavior. Human facial musculature is highly variable across individuals, but to date, whether other primate species exhibit a similar level of inter‐individual variation is unknown ...

Midpalatal implants vs headgear for orthodontic anchorage - a randomized clinical trial: Cephalometric results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical effectiveness of the mid-palatal implant as a method of reinforcing anchorage during orthodontic treatment with that of conventional extra-oral anchorage.

Topological and variational modularity: A case study using the pectoral girdle across the Chrosomus eos‐neogaeus hybridization complex

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Modularity and integration are key developmental properties and have remained central in evo‐devo research because of how they relate to evolvability. While modularity and integration have commonly been assessed with landmark‐based geometric morphometrics (GMM), other methods such as anatomical network analysis (AnNA) are increasingly being ...

Moving an incisor across the midline: A treatment alternative in an adolescent patient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A 13-year-old sought treatment for a severely compromised maxillary left central incisor and an impacted fully developed left canine. Extraction of both teeth became necessary.
