Bone scaffolds play an important role in promoting the healing of large bone defects. However, the type of scaffold material, type of drug loaded into the scaffold, and method of preparation have a significant impact on the scaffold's properties. In this

Three-dimensional imaging and analysis of annual layers in tree trunk and tooth cementum [PDF]
The growth of plants, animals, and humans can give rise to layered structures associated with annual periodicity. Thickness variations are often correlated to nutrition supply and stress factors. The annual layers in a tree trunk with millimeter thickness can be directly counted, whereas the layers in tooth cementum with micrometer thickness are made ...

Wear of human teeth: a tribological perspective [PDF]
The four main types of wear in teeth are attrition (enamel-on-enamel contact), abrasion (wear due to abrasive particles in food or toothpaste), abfraction (cracking in enamel and subsequent material loss), and erosion (chemical decomposition of the tooth)

The biomechanical function of periodontal ligament fibres in orthodontic tooth movement [PDF]
Orthodontic tooth movement occurs as a result of resorption and formation of the alveolar bone due to an applied load, but the stimulus responsible for triggering orthodontic tooth movement remains the subject of debate.

DArch: Dental Arch Prior-assisted 3D Tooth Instance Segmentation [PDF]
Automatic tooth instance segmentation on 3D dental models is a fundamental task for computer-aided orthodontic treatments. Existing learning-based methods rely heavily on expensive point-wise annotations. To alleviate this problem, we are the first to explore a low-cost annotation way for 3D tooth instance segmentation, i.e., labeling all tooth ...

Natural Product as the Storage medium for an avulsed tooth – A Systematic Review
Dental avulsion is considered as one of the most severe types of traumatic tooth injuries because it causes damage to several structures and results in the complete displacement of the tooth from its socket in the alveolar bone. The ideal situation is to

Smoking and tooth discolouration: findings from a national cross-sectional study [PDF]
Background: Smoking is a risk factor of a number of oral diseases; the extent to which tobacco products influence dental aesthetics has not been widely investigated. The aim of this study was to determine satisfaction with own tooth colour of smokers and

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,
