Download or read book Changes in the Frontal Soft Tissue of the Lower Face by Age and Sex written by Mary Margaret Law and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to determine age-related changes of the lower face by age and by gender. The secondary purpose of this study is to stress the importance of the clinical exam for orthodontic patients in the frontal view, the way most patients perceive themselves. Also, individualized treatment planning with age-appropriate incisor display is crucial for esthetic outcomes. Materials and Methods: Specific dimensions of the lower face were measured at patients initial clinical exam before starting orthodontic treatment. All patients were from Dr. David Sarver's private practice in Vestavia Hills, AL collected from 1/1/2002-11/4/2014. The following parameters were recorded in millimeters: commissure height, philtrum length, maxillary incisor length to lip at rest, maxillary incisor show on smile, gingival display on smile, maxillary incisor length, maxillary incisor width, and lip incompetence. The data was input into OrthoTracTM software. The patients ranged in age from six years old to seventy-six years old; two thousand females and 1,650 males comprised the dataset. For analysis, the patients were first separated by gender and then by age. The average and the standard deviation for each parameter were calculated. The linear regression analysis between age groups and parameters and lip incompetence compared to philtrum-commissure height difference were also calculated. Results: The soft tissue of the lower face changes consistently over time. Males have more pronounced changes than females; gingival display remains constant in both sexes. There was an increasing linear association between philtrum lengths, commissure heights, and maxillary crown height for both sexes. There was a decreasing linear association for maxillary incisor to lip at rest, gingival display on smile, and lip incompetence in both sexes. As lip separation increases, the philtrum-commissure length difference also increases, especially after a difference of nine millimeters. Conclusions: A through initial clinical exam is essential for treatment planning. Males and females have similar soft tissue trends over time. The lips consistently lengthen with time, decreasing incisor display at rest, maxillary incisor display on smile, and lip incompetence. The application of soft tissue changes that occur over time is important for treatment planning and determining age-appropriate incisor display.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although its underlying concept is a relatively simple one—the measurement of the human body and its parts—anthropometry employs a myriad of methods and instruments, and is useful for a variety of purposes, from understanding the impact of disease on individuals to tracking changes in populations over time. The first interdisciplinary reference on the subject, the Handbook of Anthropometry brings this wide-ranging field together: basic theory and highly specialized topics in normal and abnormal anthropometry in terms of health, disease prevention, and intervention. Over 140 self-contained chapters cover up-to-date indices, the latest studies on computerized methods, shape-capturing systems, and bioelectrical impedance, data concerning single tissues and whole-body variables, and reports from different areas of the world. Chapters feature helpful charts and illustrations, cross-references to related chapters are included, and key points are presented in bullet form for ease of comprehension. Together, the Handbook’s thirteen sections entail all major aspects of anthropometrical practice and research, including: Tools and techniques. Developmental stages, from fetus to elder. Genetic diseases, metabolic diseases, and cancer. Exercise and nutrition. Ethnic, cultural, and geographic populations. Special conditions and circumstances. The Handbook of Anthropometry is an invaluable addition to the reference libraries of a broad spectrum of health professionals, among them health scientists, physicians, physiologists, nutritionists, dieticians, nurses, public health researchers, epidemiologists, exercise physiologists, and physical therapists. It is also useful to college-level students and faculty in the health disciplines, as well as to policymakers and ergonomists.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.
