A longitudinal study of the probability of developing malocclusion in children using a Bayesian analysis.

Introduction: This study evaluated the probability of developing malocclusions in mixed dentition.

Methods: A longitudinal study was conducted with 598 children (aged 5 years) in deciduous dentition. The children were followed for 3 years until mixed dentition (aged 8 years).

Gibberellin and miRNA156-targeted SlSBP genes synergistically regulate tomato floral meristem determinacy and ovary patterning.

Many developmental processes associated with fruit development occur at the floral meristem (FM). Age-regulated microRNA156 (miR156) and gibberellins (GAs) interact to control flowering time, but their interplay in subsequent stages of reproductive development is poorly understood. Here, in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), we show that GA and miR156-targeted SQUAMOSA PROMOTER-BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL or SBP) genes interact in the tomato FM and ovary patterning.

Radiographic evaluation of mandibular third molars: an ex vivo comparative study between multilayer and conventional panoramic radiography.

Objectives: To compare the multilayer panoramic radiography (MPAN) and conventional panoramic radiography (CPAN) in the evaluation of mandibular third molars using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) as a reference.

Methods: CPAN, MPAN, and CBCT scans from 33 dry human mandibles were acquired using the OP300 Maxio unit, totalizing 56 mandibular third molars to be evaluated. Three examiners evaluated each third molar according to their position, depth of impaction in the mandibular ramus, proximity between the dental root apexes and the mandibular canal, and the presence of radiographic signs of proximity to the mandibular canal.

Assessment of the root filling volume in C-shaped root canal on cone-beam CT and micro-CT in relation to nano-CT.

Aim: To assess the observed volume of filled C-shaped root canals from different CBCT and micro-CT having nano-CT as a reference.

Materials And Methods: Twelve extracted mandibular molars with C-shaped root canals were endodontically treated using Reciproc Blue R25 (VDW GMBH, Munich, Germany) in a reciprocating system and filled with gutta-percha (Dentsply Maillefer) and AH Plus sealer (Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany). CBCT scans were performed using 3 units-3D Accuitomo 170 (J.

Factors associated with the proportion of abnormal results in screening mammograms: ecological study.

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with the proportion of abnormal results in screening mammograms.

Methods: Ecological study, with data from DATASUS/SISCAN, Atlas Brasil do Desenvolvimento Humano, Fundação SEADE, and Sistema e-Gestor, from 2016 to 2019, of women aged 50 to 69 years in the 645 municipalities of São Paulo (Brazil). Independent variables were associated with the outcome: proportion of unsatisfactory coverage of abnormal test results (Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System - BI-RADS® 0, 4 and 5 proportion >10% of tests performed).
