Investigation of Invasive and Non-invasive Methods to Accelerating Dental Movement in Orthodontics
One of the most important concerns of patients is the need for orthodontic treatment, is the long duration of treatment and pain and discomfort during treatment. Also, long duration of treatment, is associated with increased caries risk, root resorption and gingival recession. Reducing the duration of treatment reduces the complications of orthodontic treatments and at the same time increases p...
متن کاملNew non-invasive methods for assessing brain oxygenation and haemodynamics.
Hypoxic-ischaemic injury to the brain is the commonest cause of permanent neurodevelopmental disability in very preterm and other infants who survive after neonatal intensive care. Two new methods allow normal and abnormal oxidative metabolism to be investigated non-invasively in brain tissue. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is used to measure the concentrations of important phosphorus compound...
متن کاملDomiciliary non-invasive ventilation in stable COPD?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the commonest indication for domiciliary non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in Europe. However, there is a paucity of evidence to support its use. A number of short-term randomised controlled trials (RCTs) failed to show any consistent benefit from NIV. In a crossover study comparing 3 months of bilevel ventilation plus long term oxygen therapy (LTOT)...
متن کاملNon-invasive ventilation in exacerbations of COPD
Randomized controlled trials have confirmed the evidence and helped to define when and where non invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV) should be the first line treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD). Noninvasive ventilation has its best indication in moderate-to-severe respiratory acidosis in patients with AECOPD. For this indication, studies conducte...
متن کاملAssessing incisor inclination: a non-invasive technique.
A method of recording incisor inclination is described using the Tooth inclination Protractor (TIP). This instrument was used to record incisor inclination on dental casts. The scores were related to traditionally determined inclinations for the upper incisor to maxillary plane and the lower incisor to mandibular plane from the lateral cephalometric radiograph. The TIP scores were closely relat...
