On the odderon intercept in perturbative QCD [PDF]
Arguments are presented for the odderon intercept being exactly equal to unity. A variational method is presented based on a complete system of one-gluon functions. For the odderon, the highest intercept calculated by this method is $1-(3\alpha_{s}/\pi)\,0.45$.

Orthodontic and restorative treatment in cleft lip without bone graft – case report/ Tratamento ortodôntico e restaurador em paciente com fissura labial sem enxerto ósseo – relato de [PDF]
Introduction: Cleft lips and palates are among the most common congenital orofacial anomalies of the head and neck. Treatment of orofacial clefts is challenging, prolonged and delivered by multidisciplinary teams.

Cone-beam CT for Dental Radiography [PDF]
The cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) technique was first inserted in dental imaging 15 years ago. Due to this technique 3D imaging in dentistry has been excessively changed. The purpose beyond using CBCT instead of computed tomography (CT) imaging is that CT can not be used in many cases in dentistry, in addition to the higher radiation and cost of

Aligner-induced tooth movements in three dimensions using clinical data of two patients [PDF]
The effectiveness of a series of optically transparent aligners for orthodontic treatments depends on the anchoring of each tooth. In contrast with roots, the crowns' positions and orientations are measurable with intraoral scans, thus avoiding any X-ray dose.

Transformer-Based Tooth Alignment Prediction With Occlusion And Collision Constraints [PDF]
The planning of digital orthodontic treatment requires providing tooth alignment, which not only consumes a lot of time and labor to determine manually but also relays clinical experiences heavily. In this work, we proposed a lightweight tooth alignment neural network based on Swin-transformer.
