Unlabelled: The anatomy of dental compensation curve in the frontal plane described by George H. Wilson is one of the occlusal determinants of orthodontic treatment. However, there is few published comparing malocclusion and normocclusion individuals.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the curve of Wilson at first and second maxillary molars, normocclusion pattern and malocclusion pattern, with and without bilateral posterior crossbite, using angular references in CBCT studies.
Material And Methods: We analyzed 10 cases of malocclusion with bilateral posterior crossbite, 10 cases of malocclusion without bilateral posterior crossbite and 10 cases with non orthodontic normocclusion (patients who underwent cone beam study for other reasons than orthodontic). All of them were adults, more than 19 years. Angular variables from left and right axis (line connecting the occlusal and furcation groove) of first and second molars towards a perpendicular to the frontal palate were measured. There was carried out an Anova test, Bonferroni analysis and Levene's statistics.
Results: The descriptive analysis of the results shows an average values of total maxillary curve of Wilson for first molars (sum of left and right angle) of 8.1° for normocclusion group, 0.4° for the malocclusion pattern with bilateral posterior crossbite and 16.9° for the malocclusion pattern without this alteration. The mean differences was statistical significant (P<0,042) between between malocclusion pattern groups with and without crossbite .
Conclusion: The curve of Wilson, measured at maxillary first molars in patients with bilateral posterior crossbite is more concave than the other groups, suggesting no dentoalveolar compensations.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to measuring the morphology and position of bilateral temporomandibular joints in patients with unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite and simulating the deformation of the mandible during occlusion, in order to provide thesis for the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint disease in patients with unilateral and bilateral molar scissor bite.
Methods: This study was a retrospective study. A total of 10 patients with unilateral molar scissor bite (the unilateral molar scissor bite group) and 10 patients with bilateral molar scissor bite (the bilateral molar scissor bite group) were selected as the experimental group, and 20 adult patients with classⅠ of angle classification of similar ages were selected as the control group.
Anterior Uveitis and Uveal Depigmentation in a Dog With Vitiligo.

The objective of this study is to describe the clinical and histologic features of a dog that developed anterior uveitis and uveal depigmentation in association with vitiligo. A 3-year-old, female-spayed, Bernese Mountain Dog with a history of bilateral idiopathic anterior uveitis developed iris depigmentation, leukotrichia, and skin depigmentation. The initial diagnostic evaluation for uveitis was unremarkable, including general bloodwork, urinalysis, infectious disease testing, thoracic radiographs, and abdominal ultrasound.

Background: Worn dentition is a common problem encountered by most people in the last decade. Rehabilitation of a full mouth needs individual attention and proper treatment planning, which is very challenging for partial edentulous cases where bilateral teeth are missing and collapsed vertical dimension leaves inadequate restorative space. Treatment of these cases is complex and needs to apply standard principles while designing and fabricating prostheses.

Language control processes allow for the flexible manipulation and access to context-appropriate verbal representations. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have localized the brain regions involved in language control processes usually by comparing high vs. low lexical-semantic control conditions during verbal tasks.

Pirani scoring system is one of the most commonly used tools to assess the initial deformity, monitor the treatment progression, and identify relapse in clubfoot. The method has been demonstrated to correlate well with the sequential correction of deformity for children under age 1 year. We conducted a study to examine the interobserver reliability of Pirani scores in children of walking-age.
