Development of the occipitopetrosal junctions: A histological study using human fetuses
Abstract The temporal bone petrosa is connected to the occipital bone at two sites: one junction with the basilar part (medial junction) and another with the lateral part (lateral junction). Using histological specimens from 45 human fetuses (approximately 7–39 weeks of gestational age or GA), we aimed to describe possible changes in histology and ...

The mucosal released‐coronally advanced flap: A novel surgical approach—A case report
Abstract Background The coronally advanced flap (CAF) can be a predictable surgical technique for the treatment of gingival recessions. However, the characteristics of the defect (e.g., limited amount of keratinized gingiva or flap tension, etc.) may limit the use of the CAF with a possible requirement of additional surgical interventions (i.e., the ...

Characterizing human vestibular sensory epithelia for experimental studies: new hair bundles on old tissue and implications for therapeutic interventions in ageing. [PDF]
Balance disequilibrium is a significant contributor to falls in the elderly. The most common cause of balance dysfunction is loss of sensory cells from the vestibular sensory epithelia of the inner ear.

Periodontitis presenting among betel quid users: A case series
Abstract Background Betel leaf chewing habit has been studied extensively, as it has been an ancient practice in many Asian countries. Although betel leaf has been reported to have potential beneficial properties, it has also been shown to have a strong association with oral diseases, including periodontitis. This case series addresses the presentation

Effects of Selective Deafferentation on the Discharge Characteristics of Medial Rectus Motoneurons [PDF]
Medial rectus motoneurons receive two main pontine inputs: abducens internuclear neurons, whose axons course through the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF), and neurons in the lateral vestibular nucleus, whose axons project through the ascending tract ...

Peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst in maxillary anterior gingiva: A case report
Abstract Background Calcifying odontogenic cysts (Gorlin cysts) most commonly present centrally and have only rarely been reported in peripheral locations. The purpose of this report is to describe a new case of peripheral calcifying odontogenic cyst (PCOC) occurring in the anterior maxillary gingiva and to review the management and differential ...
