Effects of rapid maxillary expansion on temporomandibular joints: A systematic review.

Angle Orthodontist, 2020
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the condylar position, disc joint, joint space, and interarticular relationship in growing patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A systematic search was performed in nine databases.

Expanding the Clinical Spectrum of Cousin Syndrome: A Novel Biallelic Missense Variant in TBX15 Causing a Milder Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cousin syndrome is a rare skeletal dysplasia characterized by distinctive facial features, humeroradial synostosis, and hypoplasia of the ilia and scapula. Since the original description of the phenotype in two cases by Cousin in 1982, only three additional cases have been published.

Who was the real sabertooth predator: Thylacosmilus or Thylacoleo?

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sabertoothed mammalian predators, all now extinct, were almost exclusively feloid carnivorans (Eutheria, Placentalia): here a couple of extinct metatherian predators are considered in comparison with the placental sabertooths. Thylacosmilus (the “marsupial sabertooth”) and Thylacoleo (the “marsupial lion”) were both relatively large (puma ...

Treatment timing and multidisciplinary approach in Apert syndrome [PDF]

, 2015
Apert syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia and symmetric syndactyly of hands and feet. Abnormalities associated with Apert syndrome include premature fusion of coronal sutures system (coronal ...

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

An assessment of the magnitude, parallelism, and asymmetry of micro-implant-assisted rapid maxillary expansion in non-growing patients

Progress in orthodontics, 2020
Background and objectives Micro-implant-assisted expanders have shown significant effects on the mid-face, including a degree of asymmetry. The aim of this study is to quantify the magnitude, parallelism, and asymmetry of this type of expansion in non ...

Bending performance changes during prolonged canine eruption in saber‐toothed carnivores: A case study of Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition.

An assessment of the maxilla after rapid maxillary expansion using cone beam computed tomography in growing children

Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics, 2014
INTRODUCTION: With the advent of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), it is now possible to quantitatively evaluate the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the entire maxillary complex in growing patients.
