    Notes: Abstract Sometimes, preoperative planning in dental implantology, based on sufficient alveolar height, cannot be verified due to transversal deficiencies. A total of 102 bony mandibles and 95 maxillae were analysed after classification of atrophy, simulating implant insertion at 518 standardised edentulous cross sections with regard to anterior/posterior, mandible/maxilla and class of atrophy. Furthermore, the relation of alveolar height to possible implant length in 86 patients was evaluated retrospectively. Implant length reduction compared with alveolar height was necessary in 10% (mandibles) and 7.5% (maxillae) of the bony-jaw sections and 52.5% (mandibles) and 41.5% (maxillae) of the patients' implant regions. In this respect, the class of atrophy of the bony jaws was more important than the region of simulation. However, the highest differences were observed between mandibles and maxillae, both clinically and experimentally: simulation was possible in all mandibles and 42.5% of the maxillae, but clinical implantation was only possible in 86% of 62 mandibles and 0% of 24 maxillae, mostly due to reduced alveolar height. Alveolar ridge width primarily affected the possible implant lengths. Nevertheless, in four (two mandibular and two maxillary cases) of 58 patients (7%) with sufficient height, a surgical procedure that had already been started had to be stopped. It is expected that cross-sectional radiographical techniques of implantation planning, including ridge-width determination, will gain importance in the future.

    Notes: Abstract To investigate the effects of reproduction and associated stimuli on the circannual cycles of African stonechats Saxicola torquata axillaris birds were held for 29 months in aviaries under a constant equatorial (12.25 h) photoperiod, either singly (10 females and 10 males) or in 10 male/female pairs. The birds of all 3 groups went through circannual cycles in gonadal size, plasma LH and molt, but groups differed with regard to actual reproductive performance. During the second cycle, only one of the singly-held females laid eggs and incubated. In constrast, in the paired females egg-laying and incubation occurred in all but one bird. About 50% of the clutches from paired females contained fertilized eggs confirming the expectation of behavioral differences between the paired and unpaired birds. However, despite differences in reproductive performance there were no differences in either circannual period or duration of reproductive phases. Moreover, there was no correlation between number of broods produced per season and circannual parameters of the paired females. Therefore, the temporal course and, particularly, the period during which reproduction is possible is rigidly determined by an endogenous program that is not influenced by reproductive performance. A rigid program of this kind may be advantageous in the tropics because it prevents prolongation of the breeding season in years with favourable conditions which in turn could jeopardize optimal timing of breeding in the following year and thus reduce lifetime reproductive success.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Consideration of alveolar profiles and clinical experience demonstrate that the transversal dimension has been neglected in dental implantology so far. For a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of alveolar bone height and width, 95 edentulous bony maxillae with standardized, measured, and classified cross-sections were analyzed. With four types of implants (minimum length, 10 mm), 1076 insertions were simulated at 269 cross-sections and evaluated with regard to type of implant, position of cross-section, and class of atrophy. Similar evaluation was carried out in the clinical part of the study on 24 consecutive patients with edentulous maxillae. Implant insertion could only be simulated in 35% of the cadaver cross-sections, but had been expected in an additional 4.5% based on their sufficient bone height; length reductions were necessary in another 6%. These results depended largely on the class of atrophy. Anterior cross-sections offered better conditions than posterior ones. In contrast, implant insertion was impossible in all 24 patients. Height was primarily inadequate in 22 patients, and in two patients with sufficient bone height inadequate transversal dimensions were only recognised intraoperatively. These results allow a quantification of the impact of vertical and transversal maxillary alveolar bone dimensions. This impact primarily depends on bone height, but even with sufficient height, reductions of implant length often become necessary. Both for the cadaver maxillae (12% of the cross-sections with expected implant insertion) and for the patients (8%), alveolar profiles remain in which height measurement alone leads to incorrect assessment and may even result in the interruption of precisely planned surgical procedures. The complexity and expense of implant-borne rehabilitation and the consequences resulting from incorrect preoperative planning therefore generally justify extended cross-sectional diagnostic measuring.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Die Betrachtung von Alveolarkammprofilen und klinische Erfahrungen zeigen, daß die transversale Dimension in der zahnärztlichen Implantologie bisher vernachlässigt worden ist. Im Hinblick auf eine grundlegende Auswertung des Einflusses von Kieferkammhöhe und -breite erfolgte zunächst die Analyse von 95 zahnlosen knöchernen Oberkiefern aus Sammlungen, die standardisiert gesägt, vermessen und klassifiziert waren. Für 4 Implantattypen (10 mm Mindestlänge) wurden so an 269 Querschnitten 1076 Implantationen simuliert und differenziert nach Implantattyp, Querschnittlage und Atrophieklasse ausgewertet. Ähnlich wurde im klinischen Studienteil bei 24 konsekutiven Implantatpatienten mit zahnlosem Oberkiefer verfahren. Eine Implantateinbringung am Leichenkiefer war nur in 35% der Querschnitte möglich, aber bei ausreichender Kieferhöhe in weiteren 4,5% eigentlich zu erwarten gewesen. Implantatlängenreduktionen wurden zusätzlich in 6% notwendig. Dabei bestanden Abhängigkeiten v. a. zur Atrophieklasse. Anteriore Querschnitte boten wesentlich günstigere Voraussetzungen als posteriore. Demgegenüber war Implantierbarkeit bei keinem der 24 Patienten gegeben. Primär unzureichende Höhe lag in 22 Fällen vor, 2mal stellte sich bei ausreichender Höhe ein transversal zu schmaler Alveolarkamm erst unter der Operation heraus. Die Ergebnisse erlauben die Quantifizierung der Bedeutung von vertikaler und transversaler Oberkieferalveolarkammdimension. Diese Bedeutung liegt vorrangig bei der Knochenhöhe, obwohl auch bei ausreichender Höhe häufig Reduktionen der Implantatlänge nötig werden. Sowohl am Leichenkiefer (12% der Schnitte mit erwarteter Implantierbarkeit) als auch am Patienten (8%) verbleiben jedoch Alveolarkammprofile, für welche die alleinige Höhenausmessung falsche Verhältnisse vortäuscht und evtl. ein exakt geplanter operativer Eingriff abgebrochen werden muß. Komplexität und Preis der implantologischen Rehabilitation und die Tragweite einer inkorrekten präoperativen Planung rechtfertigen oder verlangen sogar daher grundsätzlich erweiterte schnittbilddiagnostische Maßnahmen.
