Prognathism
(underbite, underjet), a type of occlusion, usually congenital, in which the mandibular teeth cover the corresponding maxillary teeth when the jaws are in centric occlusion; the alveolar process of maxilla may be in a correct position or inclined forward (or protruding). The lower jaw protrudes considerably forward; the chin and lower lip protrude prominently, and the upper lip seems to regress. In early childhood, prognathism is corrected by orthodontic methods, and in adults by surgical intervention. Prognathism in anthropology, facial protrusion in a vertical plane. Facial prognathism is the protrusion of the entire face, while alveolar prognathism is the protrusion of only the alveolar (dental) portion of the upper jaw. Facial prognathism is measured by the facial angle, and alveolar prognathism is measured by the angle of the alveolar portion of the face. Prognathism is more typical of southern Mongoloids and representatives of the Equatorial race, although it also occurs in other racial groups. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | By identifying and studying families that have at least two living siblings with Parkinson's disease, researchers in the NIH-funded PROGENI study hope to identify genes that may make people susceptible to the disorder. Using Micro Focus's and The Progeni Corp's application modernization technologies to preserve and re-use its existing COBOL application logic, CO-OP was able to complete a move to Windows in just four months and reduce its $2. SatEvePost and MU readers were among the sibling pairs who volunteered to participate in the initial PROGENI effort; researchers are seeking an additional 300 sibling pairs with Parkinson's disease for the current phase of the study. |
