Finding Temporally Consistent Occlusion Boundaries in Videos using Geometric Context [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present an algorithm for finding temporally consistent occlusion boundaries in videos to support segmentation of dynamic scenes. We learn occlusion boundaries in a pairwise Markov random field (MRF) framework. We first estimate the probability of an spatio-temporal edge being an occlusion boundary by using appearance, flow, and geometric features ...

Robustness of Object Recognition under Extreme Occlusion in Humans and Computational Models [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Most objects in the visual world are partially occluded, but humans can recognize them without difficulty. However, it remains unknown whether object recognition models like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) can handle real-world occlusion. It is also a question whether efforts to make these models robust to constant mask occlusion are effective for

Extraoral Scanning of Implant Prosthetic Components under Difficult Conditions Using a Transfer Device

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Obtaining an extremely precise virtual model is decisive for the final success of prosthetic restorations on implants using CAD–CAM technology. Intraoral digital implant impression can be challenging under specific conditions (e.g., narrow spaces, lack ...

The comparison of two different mandibular positions for oral appliance therapy in patients with obstructive sleep apnea

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Dental Research, 2022
Background An oral appliance (OA) can alleviate upper airway obstruction by pulling the mandible forward during sleep. While a large mandibular advancement with an OA decreases the number of apnea and hypopnea events, long‐term use may cause side effects,

Comparative effectiveness of hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, and platelet-rich fibrin in treating temporomandibular disorders: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

open access: yesHead & Face Medicine, 2023
Objective This study aims to compare the efficacy of intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) for treating temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and summarize their mechanisms of action ...

Restoration of the dentition in a patient with a history of bruxism and amelogenesis imperfecta: A clinical report

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2021
The report describes a 27‐year‐old female patient with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) accompanied by nocturnal bruxism, who was treated with a combination of occlusal splint and full‐mouth fixed prosthetic rehabilitation through follow‐ups within 2 years ...

Orthodontics and occlusion [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Dental Journal, 2001
The discipline of orthodontics is directed towards alteration of the occlusion of the teeth and the relationships of the jaws. It is therefore somewhat surprising to find that there is little scientific evidence to support any of the concepts that suggest occlusal goals for orthodontic treatment.

Biomechanical behavior of three different types of internal tapered connections after cyclic and static loading tests: experimental in vitro

open access: yesInternational Journal of Implant Dentistry, 2020
Background In the long-term success of a dental implant, the reliability and stability of the implant-abutment interface are important. Studies of maximum force of dental implants with different loading values have been used.
