| The lingual ridge diminishes in height approaching the symphysis where it is absent, producing a narrow symphyseal trough. |
|
| On the symphyseal side, the concavity abuts a ridge that borders the straight symphyseal surface of the plate. |
|
| Radiographic examination revealed an irregular radiolucency in the mandible symphyseal region between the right and left premolars. |
|
| The symphyseal region of the mandibles is short, wide, and slightly downturned. |
|
| Cuvieronius possesses a slightly downturned symphyseal region and upper tusks that are twisted in a long open spiral and with a spiral band of enamel persisting in the adults. |
|
| The new tunnel technique involves soft tissue preparation prior to symphyseal block graft. |
|
| This supports biomechanical arguments that fusion strengthens the symphyseal joint during postcanine chewing and biting. |
|
| If the symptoms have been reported for greater than six months, sclerosis of the adjacent pubic bones and narrowing of the symphyseal joint space may also be present. |
