Spontaneous eruption of severely impacted teeth : the report of two cases [PDF]
The unerupted and impacted tooth is a common problem and the reason for many orthodontic and pediatric dental referrals, yet the approach to their management is still an area of controversy. This article presents two cases of severely impacted teeth that

Orthodontic Interceptive Treatment on Obstructive Sleep Apnea Cases
Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a breathing disorder that occurs during sleep and results in decreased or complete cessation of airflow despite attempts to breathe. Specific populations, such as children with certain craniofacial or other genetic syndromes and who are obese have a higher prevalence of OSA than the general population ...

Simple Formulas for Output Interception Power Estimation of Uni-Traveling Carrier Photodiodes [PDF]
Simple analytical expressions for estimation of second order output intercept point (OIP2) and third order output intercept point (OIP3) of surface normal uni-traveling carrier (UTC) and modified uni-traveling carrier (MUTC) photodiode (PD) are derived. These equations are valuable for estimation of OIP for high power (M)UTC-PDs during the design phase.

Early identification and management of mandibular canine ectopia [PDF]
Mandibular canine impaction and transmigration have serious consequences for the patient, as removal of the tooth or teeth in question is often the only solution. The loss of one or both mandibular canines complicates orthodontic treatment.

Automatic Recognition of Landmarks on Digital Dental Models [PDF]
Fundamental to improving Dental and Orthodontic treatments is the ability to quantitatively assess and cross-compare their outcomes. Such assessments require calculating distances and angles from 3D coordinates of dental landmarks. The costly and repetitive task of hand-labelling dental models impedes studies requiring large sample size to penetrate ...

Dense Representative Tooth Landmark/axis Detection Network on 3D Model [PDF]
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is increasingly used for digital orthodontics, but one of the challenges is to automatically and accurately detect tooth landmarks and axes. This is partly because of sophisticated geometric definitions of them, and partly due to large variations among individual tooth and across different types of tooth. As such,
