Thus in a family with a mutation of PAX9 the mesio-distal dimensions were smaller to a different degree than the bucco-lingual dimensions of the formed teeth.
In addition, a primary canine is smaller in all dimensions, but especially in its mesio-distal dimension, compared to a secondary canine.
The proximal and distal zones of each annulus initially differed consistently in shape and size, with the distal zone starting out broader in the proximal-distal dimension and shorter in the lateral dimension than the proximal zone.
Accordingly, the GluRδ2 ectopically expressed in Golgi cells responds to the signals that mediate such precise targeting, resulting in polarized localization not only in the ascending and descending tracts but also in the proximal-distal dimension of the ascending tract.
In contrast, electrophysiological experiments have demonstrated that the number of AMPA-type glutamate receptors at distal dendrites of CA1 pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus progressively increases, as does synaptic conductance [40], suggesting that dendritic polarization occurs in the proximal-distal dimension.
The mesio-distal dimension (MD) was taken as the maximum distance between the mesial and distal proximal surfaces of the tooth crown.
Although this range appears to be greater than that reported by Motohashi and Kuroda, if similarly the mesio-distal dimension only is considered, its range is only 0.0 0.1 mm.
From the sensitivity analysis it is concluded that distal airway dimensions play a major role in controlling alveolar deposition.
This finding suggests that wider mesio-distal slot dimensions cause higher frictional forces within brackets that are vertically displaced.
To clarify the influence of the slot design on the RS recorded with both the experimental settings, the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between mesio-distal slot dimensions and RS values and between slot depth dimensions and RS values was accomplished (Tables 5 and6).
In horizontal bracket displacement, no significant correlation was found between RS and both slot depth and mesio-distal slot dimensions (Table 6); this result could be explained considering that the binding forces are influenced simultaneously by the abovementioned variables of slot design.
