sling Explanation: I think "fiondina" is a diminutive for "fionda" " FIONDA Trazione extra – orale, avente come punto di appoggio il mento, impiegata per correggere le III Classi scheletriche." http://www.ortodonzia.net/home/dizionario/diz/f/FIONDA.htm "Apparecchi amovibili L 4815 67-91 Placca ortodontica L 4816 63-86 Placca di contenzione L 4817 112-152 Apparecchio bimascellare L 4818 67-91 Ferula di rialzo L 4819 53-72 Posizionatore individuale L 4820 52-70 Placca vestibolare individuale 4821 48-65 Piano inclinato L 4822 46-62 Fionda mentoniera individuale M 4823 24-32 Fionda mentoniera prefabbricata M 4824 35-47 Trazione extraorale M 4825 37-51 Trazione extraorale (Hickham) M 4826 38-52 Trazione extraorale (Delaire) " http://www.zahnaerzte.ch/doc/doc_download.cfm?2E5339D5BCD825... "A temporalis graft was harvested [Figure - 3] and sutured to the medial pterygoid muscle [Figure - 4] to act as an interposing sling." http://www.jisppd.com/article.asp?issn=0970-4388;year=2005;v... this deals with guinea pigs, but it fits to the same context "The Chin Sling is a revolutionary new way to treat malocclusion caused by TMJ (Temporo Mandibular Joint Syndrome) without invasive dental work. A large proportion of malocclusion cases may be due to TMJ and not to a genetic misalignment of the teeth. After an initial planing, the "Chin Sling" provides support to the jaw, encourages normal wear of the teeth, and helps build muscle" http://www.guinealynx.com/chinsling.html "The musculus levator veli palatini sling is dissected and realigned in the midline" http://www.accessmedicine.com/content.aspx?aID=822369 Other references http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6984127-description.html http://www.quintpub.com/userhome/aoos/aoos_16_2_costa4.pdf |
