Distribution of the anatomic aspects of lingual frenulum in babies attended in the Reference Center in Hearing Health/CRESA Puc Goias between August, 2014 and February, 2015 Altered (apex / sublingul caruncles) 0,6% Altered (apex / inferior alveolar 4,2% crest) Altered (middle third and the apex 32,2% / inferior
alveolar crest) Normal (middle third / inferior 13% alveoar crest) Normal (middle third and the apex 22% / sublingual caruncles) Normal (middle third / sublingual 28% caruncles) Note: Table made from bar graph.
To measure distance 'c': from inferior border of the mandible to
alveolar crest. To measure distance 'a' from the inferior border of the mandible to lower edge of the mental foramen in dentulous mandible.
Following primary debridement AP flaws and
alveolar crest deformities can be seen in patients with maxillary AP fractures.
The distance from the
alveolar crest 4 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm identified as fixed point (Fig.
Panoramic radiographic images taken in the first examination revealed a radiopaque area, resembling cortical bone, with moderately demarcated but distinct borders in the
alveolar crest of the lower left teeth 18 and 19 (Figure 3).
This case report de- scribes the implant oral rehabilitation of a patient with ectodermal dysplasia with severe atrophy of the residual
alveolar crest, and maxillary sinus pneumatization.
Bergland, Semb and Abyholm in 1986 proposed a method of evaluating the success of alveolar bone grafting by measuring the
alveolar crest height in relation to the adjacent teeth.6, 7
(2014) found that the height of the mandible at the mental foramen region and the distance from the superior margin of the foramen and the
alveolar crest were significantly higher in males compared to females, it was suggested, therefore, that these traits can be used to determine sex.
