these common features reported in the literature. Desmoplastic ameloblastoma exhibits a more aggressive behavior than other types of ameloblastoma. This aggressiveness may be due to 1) potential to grow to a large size; 2) the common location in the maxilla leading to an early invasion of adjacent structures; 3) the diffuse radiographic appearance, and 4) histological finding of bone invasion.11 Histologically, the tumor might be misdiagnosed as another odontogenic tumor, as the characteristic…

However, the there are openings at the base of the cranium and these allow the brain and spinal cord to be directly connected. The maxilla forms the upper jaw in humans.

Introduction Patients who wear conventional dentures often complain about the instability of the prosthesis, particularly the mandibular denture. Denture instability leads to a feeling of insecurity, inefficient mastication, and dissatisfaction of the patient with the prosthesis. The physical means of retention are limited in patients with significant bone resorption, since the supporting surface is greatly reduced and stability of the lower denture is provided mainly by the action of the…

Anesthetizing this nerve would provide anaesthesia of the posterior lingual soft tissue part of the maxilla .The exact location of the foramen is unknown and various standard texts books provide only a general location and position of the foramen e.g lateral slope of the hard palate , between the 2nd and 3rd molar2 or medial to the 3rd molar3…

Kaylina “Wally” Nies ANT4525L - Killgrove December 3, 2014 Skeletal Report Many of the medical skeletons that are used for analysis in ANT4525L: Human Osteology come from the Middle East region. They range in how old the bodies were at death to how old they have been deceased and skeletonized. Upon first displaying medical skeleton number four in anatomical order, it was clear that this skeleton was in a better condition than the other skeletons that were assigned. The body had a whiter tint to…

embryonic development. They will develop through one of two ways. Intramembranous Ossification. This is the development of embryonic connective tissue (mesenchyme) to flat bones such as the skull, and other bones such as the mandible, clavicle and maxilla. The steps of Intramembranous Ossification are as follows;…

Image result for aagenaes syndrome This disease is characterized by growth defects. Some defects are brachycephalic, deformities of the humerus, radius and ulna, short and broad hands, hyponastic maxilla, and mental retardation. This is a cystic disease. It is not cirrhosis because it is not active with inflammatory cells. The disorder is probably proliferation and dilation of portal bile ducts. Some other features are retinal pigmentation anomalies…
