Article Synopsis
  • Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure for the eyelids that aims to enhance both aesthetic and functional aspects, focusing on how it affects vision and appearance.
  • A study examined 32 patients before and after bilateral blepharoplasty, measuring parameters like marginal reflex distance and corneal exposure area through photographs, as well as intraocular pressure.
  • Results indicated significant improvements in eyelid measurements and corneal astigmatism over a three-month period post-surgery, suggesting that upper eyelid blepharoplasty can effectively reduce eyelid droop and improve cosmetic outcomes.

Sex estimation from human skeletal relics is essential in creating an individual's biological profile. This study was performed to examine whether the dimensions and volume of the maxillary sinus can be used to estimate sex. The maxillary sinus's volume, length, width, and height were obtained on the paranasal computed tomography images of 232 adult subjects (116 males and 116 females).

Objectives: Sheep Achilles tendons are used as an effective preclinical model of flexor tendon repair in plastic surgery, due to their biomechanical properties, which are similar to humans. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy and biomechanical outcomes of suture materials and tendon repair techniques in flexor tendon repair.

Material And Methods: 72 sheep tendons were obtained for a total of 12 different scenarios.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the dimensions of the crista galli (CG) in preserved skulls, and to examine the role of the morphometry and morphology of the CG on the sex estimation.

Methods: Anteroposterior, superoinferior, and laterolateral diameters of the CG were measured of 207 preserved adult skulls of Anatolia origin with known sex (108 males, 99 females) in the Anatolian population. CG were morphologically classified into three types according to the dimensions.

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence and morphological characteristics of ponticulus posticus (PP) and ponticulus lateralis (PL) using computed tomography (CT) images on a large study sample of the Anatolian population. The presence of the PP and PL bridges can limit gap available for placement procedure through the bony elements of C1. Routine screw techniques are contraindicated because of high risk of fatal bleeding of vertebral artery (VA).

The periocular region has a central role in the prediction of ethnicity, understanding emotional expression, age, and sex. The aim of this study was to determine the sex-related growth changes in the periocular region of Turkish preadolescents, adolescents, and young adults. The study included a total of 234 individuals (preadolescents: 34 females and 40 males; adolescents: 40 females, 40 males, and young adults: 40 males and 40 females).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the impact of nasal shape on facial aesthetics and aims to establish sex-related nasal soft tissue norms for different age groups in the Anatolian population, including preadolescents, adolescents, and young adults.* -
  • A total of 300 volunteers, evenly split between males and females, were analyzed using digital photographs to measure 16 different nasal parameters, revealing notable sexual dimorphism in certain angles and linear measurements, particularly in adolescents and young adults.* -
  • The findings indicate that while most nasal measurements were larger in males, some parameters were similar between genders, providing valuable data for planning cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries in both children and adults.*

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the morphometry of the crista galli (CG) on paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNCT) images to develop a new approach of morphological classification with objective radiological criteria and to investigate the relationship of morphometric and morphological characteristics with gender.

Methods: The height, width, and length of the CG were measured on the PNCT images of 533 subjects (266 males, 267 females). Based on the dimensions and the presence of the cavitary component of the CG, the CG was classified into three morphological types.

Purpose: To evaluate the volume of bone cyst using the planimetry method of the Cavalieri principle.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out on data from 25 computed tomography (CT) images of patients with bone cyst. The volume of the cysts was calculated by two independent observers using the planimetry method.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate, quantitatively, the volumetric effects of stabilization splint therapy on the masseter muscle of sleep bruxism (SB) patients.

Methods: The magnetic resonance (MR) images of 16 SB patients diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) who used stabilization splints for four months were obtained before and after the therapy. The masseter muscle volume was calculated using Cavalieri's principle on the MR images.
