A statistical shape space model of the palate surface trained on 3D MRI scans of the vocal tract [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We describe a minimally-supervised method for computing a statistical shape space model of the palate surface. The model is created from a corpus of volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans collected from 12 speakers. We extract a 3D mesh of the palate from each speaker, then train the model using principal component analysis (PCA). The palate

The distally anchored connective tissue graft platform for papilla enhancement: A case report
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background As the need for using dental implants to replace single missing teeth grows, so does the demand for greater esthetic results. However, achieving complete interproximal papillae fill in single‐tooth implant restorations remains a challenge. The distally anchored connective tissue platform is a novel soft tissue augmentation technique

PRESLA: An original device to measure the mechanical interaction between tongue and teeth or palate during speech production [PDF]
ISSP'08, France (2008), 49, 2009 An original experimental procedure is presented to measure the mechanical interaction between tongue and teeth and palate during speech production. It consists in using edentulous people as subjects and to insert pressure sensors in the structure of a replication of their dental prosthesis.

Roughness Penalty for liquid Scorecards [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A liquid scorecard has liquid characteristics, for which the characteristic score is a smooth function of the characteristic over a liquid range. The smooth function is based on B-splines, typically cubic. In contrast, the characteristic scores for traditional scorecards are step functions of the characteristics.

Periodontitis presenting among betel quid users: A case series
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Betel leaf chewing habit has been studied extensively, as it has been an ancient practice in many Asian countries. Although betel leaf has been reported to have potential beneficial properties, it has also been shown to have a strong association with oral diseases, including periodontitis. This case series addresses the presentation
