The velar chord and dynamic integration of the gular valve in crocodylians

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Crocodilians have a unique gular valve that forms a seal between the oral cavity and the pharynx. The gular valve has traditionally been treated as two parts: a mobile ventral flap associated with the tongue and a fixed dorsal velum palatini. This work describes a connective tissue band, the velar chord, which functionally integrates the two parts of ...

Factors related to mouth breathing syndrome in preschool children and the effects of incompetent lip seal: An exploratory study

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1555-1560, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives A set of orofacial signs and symptoms completely or partially present in individuals who replace the correct pattern of nasal breathing with an oral or mixed pattern is defined as mouth breathing syndrome (MBS). In a previous report, it was clarified that an incompetent lip seal (ILS) affected the occurrence of MBS among primary ...

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

Dental management before radiotherapy of the head and neck region: 4‐year single‐center experience

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1478-1486, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objective To review our experience with a standardized dental management approach in patients with planned radiotherapy of the head and neck region based on preradiation and follow‐up data. Material and Methods Records of patients who underwent radiotherapy between June 2016 and November 2020 were reviewed.

Incisor cross‐sectional area at the cementoenamel junction correlates with an increased reliance on frugivory in anthropoid primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Diet is one of a limited set of key ecological parameters defining primate species. A detailed understanding of dental functional correlates with primate diet is a key component for accurate dietary inference in fossil primates. Although considerable effort has been devoted to understanding post‐canine dental function, incisor function remains

Research on the correlation between the size of condyle and occlusion plane in skeletal Class II malocclusions

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1547-1554, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Objectives This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the morphological structure of condyle and occlusal plane in skeletal Class II malocclusions by imaging measurement. Materials and Methods This study included 65 skeletal Class II adult patients (18–35 years old) who met the criteria, and all were taken with cone beam ...
