Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.

Effects of Tongue Training Tasks on Intramuscular Activity Distribution: Evaluation Using Muscle Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Patterns of muscle activity within the tongue vary by tongue resistance training direction. This finding will aid in designing more effective rehabilitation programs. ABSTRACT Background From the perspective of site specificity, inducing muscle activity across a large area of the tongue through diversified tongue resistance training (TRT) may be an ...

Predicting Malignant Transformation in Oral Leukoplakia: A Multilayer Perceptron Approach Incorporating Clinicopathological Features and DNA Content

Journal of Oral Pathology &Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oral leukoplakia (OL) is a potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa. Accurate prediction of malignant transformation (MT) remains a clinical challenge. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a machine learning model that integrates histopathological, demographic, and DNA content features to predict MT risk in OL.

Workflow to facilitate complete denture scanning with an intraoral scanner: A technique report

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Scanning a denture with an intraoral scanner is typically more challenging than scanning a dentate arch. This article describes a novel technique for digitally duplicating a complete denture. The workflow involves scanning an existing denture using an intraoral scanner with the addition of specific markers and subsequently constructing a ...

Can an increase in abutment screw length enable biomechanical advantages for implants with increased crown height space?

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this finite element analysis (FEA) study was to investigate how screw length and crown height affect the stresses generated in the implant‐abutment complex and alveolar bone for anterior single implants and whether the use of longer abutment screw would compensate for increased stresses originated from increased crown ...
