Elemental models of primate nursing and weaning revisited
Abstract Objectives Intra‐tooth patterns of trace elements barium (Ba) and strontium (Sr) have been used to infer human and nonhuman primate nursing histories, including australopithecine and Neanderthal juveniles. Here, we contrast the two elemental models in first molars (M1s) of four wild baboons and explore the assumptions that underlie each ...

A multi-patient analysis of the center of rotation trajectories using finite element models of the human mandible [PDF]
Studying different types of tooth movements can help us to better understand the force systems used for tooth position correction in orthodontic treatments. This study considers a more realistic force system in tooth movement modeling across different patients and investigates the effect of the couple force direction on the position of the center of ...

A simple novel technique for the management of a dentoalveolar fracture in a pediatric patient using a vacuum-formed splint [PDF]
This paper reports a novel, minimally invasive, simple technique for the treatment of a displaced dentoalveolar fracture using a vacuum-formed splint in a 12-year-old pediatric patient.

Abstract Antlers are the most conspicuous trait of cervids and have been used in the past to establish a classification of their fossil and living representatives. Since the availability of molecular data, morphological characters have generally become less important for phylogenetic reconstructions.

Nonunion of the mandible [PDF]
AbstractNonunion of the mandible was evaluated over a five‐year period (1968–1973). Fourteen cases were noted out of 577 mandibular fractures for an incidence of 2.4 percent.Causes of the complications were determined by a careful review of the poorly healing and successfully treated cases of mandibular fracture.

Generating Classes of 3D Virtual Mandibles for AR-Based Medical Simulation [PDF]
Simulation and modeling represent promising tools for several application domains from engineering to forensic science and medicine. Advances in 3D imaging technology convey paradigms such as augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality inside promising simulation tools for the training industry.

Abstract A number of helochelydrid turtle shell remains were recovered over the course of the 19th century from mid‐Cretaceous sediments throughout Southern England, including the poorly figured and described types of Trachydermochelys phlyctaenus from the Cambridge Greensand of Cambridgeshire, Plastremys lata from the Upper Greensand of the Isle of ...

Abstract Based on histological cross‐sections, the chondrocranium of the common musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus) was reconstructed, described, and compared with other turtles. It differs from that of other turtle chondrocrania by possessing elongated, slightly dorsally orientated nasal capsules with three dorsolateral foramina, which might be ...

Abstract The Hyaenodonta were the most diverse carnivorous mammals in the European Eocene and were classically divided into three subfamilies: Sinopaninae, Arfianinae, and Proviverrinae, with this latter being the most successful of the three, as it exhibited a much larger geographic and temporal range.
