Assessment of Maxillary Molar Tooth Changes Caused by Class III Elastics in Hybrid Hyrax-Mentoplate Treatments: A Pilot Study [PDF]
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the positional changes of maxillary first molars in patients treated with the hybrid hyrax-mentoplate and Cl III elastics combination using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: Ten patients (7 females-

Abstract Objectives To test the hypothesis that routine dental radiographs can be used to draw conclusions regarding the mandibular canal (MC) localization. Material and Methods A total of 108 radiographs (36 orthopantomograms [OPTs], 36 lateral cephalograms [LCs], and 36 cone‐beam computed tomograms [CBCTs]) of 36 patients were analyzed.

Abstract Objective Operating time is one of the main advantages attributed from the literature to the use of self‐ligating brackets (SLB). The aim of this study is to investigate the time needed for a complete archwire change procedure with conventional brackets (CB) and SLBs in a standardized in vitro research setting, comparing operators with ...

Abstract Metastatic disease is the leading cause of death in children suffering from medulloblastoma and a major treatment challenge. The evidence of leptomeningeal dissemination defines the most aggressive tumours and is associated with increased mortality; thus, inhibition of migration as a factor involved in the process of metastatic disease is ...

Adaptive Local Kernels Formulation of Mutual Information with Application to Active Post-Seismic Building Damage Inference [PDF]
The abundance of training data is not guaranteed in various supervised learning applications. One of these situations is the post-earthquake regional damage assessment of buildings. Querying the damage label of each building requires a thorough inspection by experts, and thus, is an expensive task. A practical approach is to sample the most informative
