[A classification of mandibular fractions]
Abstract:
A new classification of mandibular fractures is suggested. Unlike fractures of the upper and middle zones of the face, mandibular injuries are characterized by typical location and configuration, which prompted us to undertake this study. Literal and digital symbols were used in formulation of the diagnosis. These symbols characterize the line of fracture, involved teeth, site of fracture, presence (or absence) of dislocated fragments, occlusive disorders, combined injuries, status of soft tissues at the site of injury, presence of inflammation in the fracture fissure and its severity. Examples demonstrating the convenience of the formula are presented.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...
Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
