and cause significant risk to the procedure. Separation of the pterygoid plate from the maxillary tuberosity is another technique sensitive step during final completion of the osteotomy in the region of the infratemporal fossa (Patel). Vasculature has a major influence on the success of treatment and bleeding is a common surgical complication. The maxillary artery is a major branch of the external carotid artery passing through the infratemporal fossa, coursing around the lateral pterygoid muscle and

one of the common complications. Severe bleeding may be encountered during maxillary osteotomies from damage to the descending palatine artery, sphenopalatine artery, pterygoid venous plexus, or occasionally from damage to the second part of the maxillary artery, while in the mandibular osteotomies significant bleeding may occur from injury to inferior alveolar artery, masseteric artery, retromandibular vein, or facial artery (Rodrigo, 1995; Pineiro-Aguilar et al.

paired cranial nerve, the trigeminal (CN V) supplies sensations to the face, mucous membranes and various structures of the head. This nerve is divided into three branches, exiting the skull through three separate foramina; the ophthalmic nerve, maxillary nerve, and mandibular nerve. Together these branches innervate these areas of the head and include both motor and sensory

Esthetic Considerations in Complete Denture Prepared by Meghetie Ketchedjian-201500949 Submitted to Dr. Maria Reslan Esthetic Considerations in complete denture What would an edentulous patient wish for other than restoring back his teeth,smile and beauty? Of course, when dealing with artificial teeth in complete dentures, many will be terrified of the idea of their future artificial appearance and will think restoring old natural appearance is impossible, but they have no idea that removable

with the intra-articular disc in place, when the head of the condyle is against the most superior part of the distal facing incline of the glenoid fossa [1] • Dynamic occlusion: Dynamic occlusion is the functional occlusion in which mandibular and maxillary teeth move relative to each other. other than the muscles of mastication there are two guidance systems which are the main determinates of functional

“Aesthetic Management of a Mesio Labially Rotated Maxillary Lateral Incisor with Type I Palatal Talon Cusp - a Minimally Invasive Approach” Introduction: Talon cusp is a rare dental anomaly in the shape of the tooth. It is a well delineated cusp like structure projecting from either lingual or facial surface of anterior teeth. The prevalence of talon cusp was reported to be between 1 to 8% [1,2]. Hattab et al [3] classified talon cusp into three types based on its size as Type I (Talon / true talon)

The short occipitovertebral artery separates into two arteries: the occipital artery and the vertebral artery, which connects to the skull and vertebral column respectively. The top of the right and left vena cava are connected to the jugular vein and flow into the lingual vein from the mouth and maxillary vein. The internal jugular vein however; as well as the subscapular vein from the shoulder, receive blood from the innominate vein. The blood flows directly into the subclavian vein, formed by

various substances that circulate in your blood, builds up on the walls of the arteries. The buildup narrows the arteries and makes it difficult for blood to flow through. The major risks of atherosclerosis are heart attack or stroke (American Heart Association, n.d.). A heart attack occurs when the oxygenated blood that typically flows to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off. This happens because the coronary arteries that supply the heart with blood slowly become narrow from built up plaque

All families in the world have their own personal family risk factors pertaining to their health. These risk factors come from generations that are then sometimes passed down to the newer generations of the family. Some of these risk factors that families have could be diseases or cancers that can unfortunately take one’s life to soon because it attacks their body a certain way and causes it to shut down. But, many families could possibly overcome these risk factors they may have by changing their

the oxygen and nutrients that are required to function and survive (Sanders, Lewis, Quick, & McKenna, 2007, p. 123-124). In the case of an individual with CAD, the most common cause is atherosclerosis. It is a chronic inflammatory reaction in the artery walls with deposits of fatty proteins/lipids and cholesterol (Drake, Vogl, & Mitchell, 2015, p. 27). The inflammatory process is a pathological feature that contributes to the stages of atherosclerosis. It is initiated by attracting white blood
