In the maxilla, the mean miniplate tipping was 0.1°, whereas mean tipping of the anchor teeth was 9° (P =.01).
We are heading for a fall, even if it doesn't mean tipping over a cliff.
In the mandible, the miniplates tipped an average of 3.4°, whereas the mean tipping of the anchor teeth was 13.3° (P =.02).
A comparison of the mean tip and torque values obtained for each ethnic sample was performed using Student's t test for independent samples.
Finally, with respect to the values reported by Andrews, we found a tendency to more positive mean tip (except for at the upper second molars and lower incisors) and less negative torque in the posterior sectors.
The PR, TIP-FCS, and myonecrosis markers were serially determined.In CN and MT patients, bivalirudin plus eptifibatide was associated with markedly lower PR at all times (5- and 20-microM adenosine diphosphate-induced, and 15- and 25-microM thrombin receptor activator peptide-induced aggregation; p < 0.001 for all) and reduced mean TIP-FCS (p < 0.05).
This showed that, in terms of tip values in the upper teeth, there were only significant differences between the two groups at the premolars, whose mean tip in the Caucasian samples was roughly 4° more positive than that in the African group.
The parameters plotted were: 1. Maximum tail curvature, 2. Number of peaks in tail angle, 3. Mean tip angle, 4. Maximum tail angle, 5. Mean tip position.
'Mean tip angle': absolute value of tip angle in each frame, averaged across the bout.
The mean tip pinch improved from 4.9 kg preoperatively to 6.44 kg postoperatively.
