A Serial Study of Mandibular Growth After Removal of the Condyle in the Macaca Rhesus Monkey

Functional cranial analysis of mammalian mandibular ramal morphology

“…In the instance of ankylosis, treatment during the growth period should permit normal spatial relocative growth to resume. Such indeed are the results of both experimental and clinical surgery (Sarnat and E ngle [1951], Moss and R ankow [1968]). The evalua tion of such procedures can be complicated if a precise and meaning ful distinction between ramus and condyle is not made.…”

“…Let us give two examples. Sarnat and E ngle [1951] unilaterally removed the condylar processes (almost completely) in young M acaca rhesus. They illustrate the post-operative radiographic results (p.375; fig.…”

“…12. Adapted from roentgenograms published by Sarnat and E ngle [1951]. The control (left) and condylectomized (right) rami of two Macaca monkeys are shown in proportionate size.…”

Elongated coronoid process: CT-based quantitative analysis of the coronoid process and review of literature

“…Hyperplasia of the coronoid may occur due to an old trauma or due to functional alteration 24,27,37,47,57 . Based on animal experiments, SARNAT and ENGEL assumed hyperactivity of the temporal muscle 45 . Contrary to these findings, GERBINO et al presented five patients with elongated coronoid processes and normal electromyography findings for the masticatory muscles 15 .…”

Anatomical study of the human discomallear ligament using cone beam computed tomography imaging and morphological observations

“…SP-and CGRP-positive nerve fibers exist at the attachment of the lateral pterygoid muscle and the TMJ disc (Johansson, 1986;Ichikawa, 1989, Kido, 1993, Shimizu, 1996, and the distribution of these markers differ in the TMJ disc (Tahmasebi- Sarvestani, 1997Sarvestani, , 2001). Previous reports have described the vasculature and nerve structures of the side of the lateral pterygoid muscle (Griffin and Shape, 1960;Castelli, 1963;Sarnat and Engel, 1951;Parsons and Boucher, 1966). However, Anatomical study of the human discomallear ligament using cone beam computed tomography imaging and morphological observations the distribution of CGRP, PGP 9.5 and SP in the DML is yet unknown.…”
