Veterinary Dental Demonstration Models

Journal of Veterinary Dentistry, 1992
This article is about dental models and their construction. It is meant to be informative, entertaining and, hopefully, a little lighthearted. The use of dental models in the veterinary practice has become commonplace. The models are useful for demonstrating to clients and colleagues various dental pathologies and procedures.

The dental scientist model

Journal of Dental Education, 1993
A case has been presented for strengthening the science‐base of the future dentist. Such a development is essential and inevitable and we must plan the changes in the dental education continuum that will facilitate it. Transfer of advanced clinical training to mandatory post‐doctoral education will control the economic impact of the change and improve ...

Response to the dental scientist model

Journal of Dental Education, 1993
In general, considerable strength and much realism exist in the model as presented by Dr. McHugh. Progress in biological science is central to any scheme anticipating change in medicine, including dental and oral medicine. In my view, there are two weaknesses in his presentation: 1) a perhaps semantic difference with me over whether dentists should be ...

3D modelling to support dental surgery

2012
In a previous work, we developed a general purpose framework to support the three-dimensional reconstruction, rendering and processing of biomedical images, 3D Bio-IPF. In this paper we present a structured component of 3D Bio-IPF, the plug-in Implant, to model customised dental implants on a three-dimensional representation of the oral cavity derived ...

A Model for Forensic Dental Education in the Predoctoral Dental School Curriculum

Journal of Dental Education, 2012
Forensic odontologists play an important role locally and nationally in assisting in the identification of the victims of mass fatality incidents, whether natural or human‐made. With the recent passage of legislation by Congress identifying dentists as a first‐responder resource, knowledge of their expanding role in disaster response is particularly ...

An extension of a phenomenological model for dental composites

Dental Materials, 1999
The aims of this study are firstly to demonstrate the limitations of a phenomenological model proposed for filler/resin dental composites, and secondly, to modify the model to accommodate these limitations.A power-law rule of mixtures (ROM) is established by a simple modification of the elastic contact mechanics.

A laboratory model for dental radiographic studies

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1995
summary Though a number of laboratory models have been developed to study the effects of X‐ray geometry on the appearance and relative positions of anatomical landmarks, such as the amelocemental junction and alveolar crest, many have failed to take into account the three‐dimensional nature of the alveolus and its spatial relationships with the ...

A model of temperature transients in dental implants

Biomaterials, 2001
Dental implants provide a continuous interface between the oral environment and the deep core structures of the jaws. Implants and trans-mucosal superstructures are primarily metal and heat conduction occurs readily. A hypothetical heat conduction model is investigated to determine the ranges of temperature gradients that might occur in implants.

Phenomenological model of creep of dental amalgam

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1983
SummaryEarlier work revealed that creep of a particular dental amalgam can be described by the model F(t)=F0 exp (t/t0)m. Here F(t) is the creep compliance at time t, whereas F0, t0 and m are constants of the model. In the previous study only three alloys were used. It was the aim of this study to investigate the factor alloy more thoroughly.

Interactive Tooth Segmentation of Dental Models

2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, 2005
The accurate segmentation of the teeth from the triangle mesh is an important step in computer-aided orthodontic. Because teeth come in different shapes and their arrangements vary substantially from one individual to another, tooth segmentation is difficult. This paper proposes a new method to accurately segment the teeth interactively.
