Observations of Interproximal Contact Relationship during Function.

Relationship between initial crowding and interproximal force during retention phase.

This study investigated the change in interproximal force (IPF) in mandibular anterior teeth during retention and the relationship between the irregularity index before orthodontic treatment and the IPF. The effect that an erupting third molar had on IPF was also examined. Forty treated patients (40 with extraction of four bicuspids) were followed for 18 months during the retention phase. The i...

Interproximal contact points and proximal caries in posterior primary teeth.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that the risk of proximal caries in posterior primary teeth is higher when interproximal contact points are closed than when they are open. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was used with a sample of 286 children aged 24 to 72 months (mean age 54 months +/- 16 months). Children with any permanent dentition were excluded....

‏‎interpersonal function of language in subtitling

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...

Intraoral versus Extraoral Measurement of the Height of the Interproximal Contact Area in Maxillary Anterior Teeth

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to clinically quantify the apicoincisal height of the upper interproximal areas directly in patients' mouths compared to measurements on stone models. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty participants (75 females and 75 males, age range 20-45 years) were recruited for this study. A digital caliper was used to measure the anterior maxillary interproximal conta...
