Comparison of cyclodeviation and duction measurement in Graves' orbitopathy patients using different devices
2011
To compare measurement outcomes of different devices measuring cyclodeviation and ductions in Graves' orbitopathy (GO) patients. Cyclodeviation in GO patients was measured using the Harms tangent screen (HTS), the cycloforometer of Franceschetti, and the synoptometer. Ductions were measured using the modified perimeter, the Goldmann perimeter and the Maddox tangent scale (MTS). In 13 patients, cyclodeviation in primary position, up-, and downgaze was measured with the above-mentioned devices. The mean differences ranged from 0.3º to 3.1º and were smallest between the HTS and the cycloforometer (89% of all measurements within 2º difference). Measurement of abduction, adduction, elevation, an…
Transmigrated canines: review and update
2011
Transmigrated canines are impacted canines that have crossed the midline. Our objective was to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical aspects that have to do with transmigrated canines. We did a bibliographic review of 209 transmigrated canines obtained from a review of articles from 1971 to the present. The results of the study were that transmigrated canines are most frequent among females and are usually diagnosed within the first two decades of life. They are usually located in the mandible, with transmigration being most frequent in the left mandibular canine. In a large number of cases, the deciduous canine remains in the arcade. Transmigrated canines are most often found impacted,…
