Purpose: The present study aims to evaluate morphologic variations of the upper tarsus in Asians.
Methods: Measurements of superior-inferior and medial-lateral lengths were performed on 54 embalmed cadavers. The superior-inferior length of the tarsus was measured at the central and lateral parts. On the basis of the measured values, shapes of the tarsi were evaluated and categorized.
Results: The tarsi were classified into 3 morphologic categories-the sickle, triangular, and trapezoid types. The upper margins of the sickle, triangular, and trapezoid type tarsi present round, triangular, and flat lines, respectively. Among the 54 examined specimens, 29 (55.6%), 16 (29.6%), and 9 (16.7%) belonged to the sickle, triangular, and trapezoid groups, respectively.
Conclusions: The upper eyelid tarsi present morphologic variations with the Asian population. In performing surgical correction of blepharoptosis or surgical production of double-folds, this individual variation should be taken into consideration.

Statement Of Problem: The anterior mandible has conventionally been deemed as a safe zone for dental implants. However, with the evolution of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), several anatomic challenges have been identified that, if violated, can lead to surgical complications, including life-threatening hemorrhage.
Purpose: The purpose of this observational clinical study was to obtain standardized average values for the location of the sublingual artery (SLA), submental artery (SMA), and mandibular incisive canal (MIC) and to determine whether differences exist between dentate and edentulous individuals.

Background: Reconstruction of the upper eyelids following traumatic, congenital and tumor surgeries is often difficult owing to a variety of reasons including the influence of the lacrimal system, visual system and aesthetic appearance. In most cases of the reconstruction in the upper eyelid tarsal plate is the main anatomical area that should be protected against the damage. The aim of this study is to investigate the types and the measurements of the tarsal plate of the upper eyelids in Anatolian population.
