The Role of Dental Arch Dimensions and Impacted Third Molars on Mandibular Anterior Segment Crowding.

Objectives:  This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of arch dimensions and unerupted third molars on mandibular anterior segment crowding.

Materials And Methods:  This study included a total of 240 subjects with an average age of 18 years seeking orthodontic treatment. Panoramic radiographs, alginate impressions, and study models were taken for measurements.

Pediatric Burns in University Clinical Centre of Kosovo From 2011-2015.

The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiology of burn-related injuries in children <15 years in Kosovo, and compare incidence and cause of burns with our previous study conducted over the period 2005-2010 on children with burn injuries of the same age group. This was a retrospective study of pediatric patients (n=277) admitted to the University Clinical Centre of Kosovo between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2015. We analyzed data on gender, age, cause, location, burn size (TBSA), depth of injury, seasonality, duration of hospitalization and treatment of burn-related injuries, collected from the medical records available in the archives of the University Clinical Centre of Pristina.

Camptodactyly Caused by an Anomalous Origin of the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Tendon: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Camptodactyly is a flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joints and is known as an isolated malformation that affects 1 in 300 in the population and can be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with variable expression. A 17-year-old female was referred to the Clinic of Plastic Surgery, University Clinical Center of Kosovo, Prishtina, for the first time with camptodactyly of the little finger in the right hand. She was presented with a progressive flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint greater than 110 degrees of her right little finger.

Partially Divided Flexor Tendon Injuries: Should They Be Repaired or Not?

The correct management of partially divided flexor tendon injuries is still controversial. Opinions vary regarding whether partially divided flexor tendon injuries should be repaired. Flexor tendon injuries are common because the tendons lie close to the skin.

Effects of Lower Third Molar Angulation and Position on Lower Arch Crowding.

Unlabelled: The role of the third molars in lower arch crowding has been debated for more than a century.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between lower arch crowding and the presence of angulation and position of lower third molar.

Methods And Materials: The measurements of the dental arch were made in 120 subjects aged 16 to 21 years, with average age to 18 years.
