General Medicine
Pinhead stippling of the skull is a sign of increased osteoclastic activity, which is characteristic of hyperparathyroidism. It represents resorption of the outer layer of the bone and is most prominent in the calvaria.
Dental Materials
In orthodontics, wires with a high load deflection rate are beneficial in areas where minimal tooth movement is desired, such as in maximum anchorage extraction cases or during finishing.
Periodontics
A periodontal abscess primarily affects the periodontal tissues and does not typically alter the health of the pulp, which means the tooth may still respond to pulp vitality tests.
