Induced Ankylosis of a Primary Molar for Skeletal Anchorage in the Mandible as Alternative to Mini-Implants [PDF]
, 2015 Background Mesial protraction of mandibular posterior teeth requires increased anchorage to avoid undesired tooth movements. Orthodontic mini-implants have become a popular and successful way to increase skeletal anchorage in such cases.

Study on Virtual Gear Hobbing Simulation and Gear Tooth Surface Accuracy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 This paper presents a digital simulation method for the hobbing process of cylindrical gears. Based on the gear generation principle, taking the professional software as the tool, the problem of virtual hobbing simulation on involute helical gears was studied, and the virtual hobbing simulation of hobbing on the whole gear was completed by using macros

A Modular Transradial Bypass Socket for Surface Myoelectric Prosthetic Control in Non-Amputees [PDF]
IEEE Trans. Neural Syst. Rehabil. Eng. (2019), 2019 Bypass sockets allow researchers to perform tests of prosthetic systems from the prosthetic user's perspective. We designed a modular upper-limb bypass socket with 3D-printed components that can be easily modified for use with a variety of terminal devices.

Evaluation of tissue response to periodontal dressings: histological study in tooth sockets of rats [PDF]
Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2008 Although the use of periodontal dressings is currently limited, there are some indications for their use. Selection of any material that will have direct contact with live tissues, such as periodontal dressings, should be careful in order to allow surgical wound healing.

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.

CTooth: A Fully Annotated 3D Dataset and Benchmark for Tooth Volume Segmentation on Cone Beam Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 3D tooth segmentation is a prerequisite for computer-aided dental diagnosis and treatment. However, segmenting all tooth regions manually is subjective and time-consuming. Recently, deep learning-based segmentation methods produce convincing results and reduce manual annotation efforts, but it requires a large quantity of ground truth for training.

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.
