Background: An ISO standard tooth profile has a symmetric pressure angle of 20°. However, the load capacity can be increased with respect to bending and contact pressure by increasing the pressure angle on the meshing side of an asymmetric tooth. Accordingly, we analyzed the torque transmission capacity of asymmetric gears with various pressure angles. Methods: We calculated the deflection and ...

conclusions the patient reported that he did not feel pain or discomfort throughout the intervention. follow-up visits performed after one, three, six, twelve, and sixteen months demonstrated vitality of the tooth the absence of complications, as well as good esthetic results. laser technology may be used in the treatment of traumatic anterior teeth injury with advantages in terms of quality of...

A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed prosthesis is an innovative alternative to a traditional metal restoration, as it is a conservative treatment method. This case report demonstrates a detailed procedure for restoring a missing anterior tooth with an FRC. A 44-year-old woman visited our department with an avulsed tooth that had fallen out on the previous day and was completely dry. This t...

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of an experimentally induced light premature occlusal contact on tooth sensation. This assessment involved monitoring the electric tooth pain threshold (TPT) at multiple times before and after altering the occlusal contact. This alteration was produced by placing high inlays, which were measured with a custom made measuring device in maximum...

AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate factors associated with the fill of inter-dental spaces by gingival papillae. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-six adult subjects were evaluated. Papilla score (PS), tooth form/shape, interproximal contact length and gingival thickness were recorded for 672 maxillary anterior and first pre-molar interproximal sites. Statistical analyses included a non...

A method for the determination of the optimal polynomial functions for the conduction of machine-tool setting variations in pinion teeth finishing in order to reduce the transmission errors in spiral bevel gears is presented. Polynomial functions of order up to five are applied to conduct the variation of the cradle radial setting and of the cutting ratio in the process for pinion teeth generat...

This paper presents the investigation into the tooth profile features, meshing characteristics and the principle of forming circular arc tooth race cylindrical gears (CATT gears). Based on the meshing theory of the curvilinear gear, tooth surface equations and meshing line equations of the gears and rack shave been established. The graphical analysis of these equations shows meshing performance...

To avoid edge contact and stress concentration on the tooth surface of hypoid gear pairs machined by duplex helical method for drive axle heavy-duty vehicles, a four-segment tool profile was designed simultaneous modification concave convex surfaces pinion. First, geometric model established. Second, mathematical based established, solving generated connecting points presented. Finally, loaded ...

Microneurographic recordings were obtained from 20 periodontal mechanoreceptive afferents in the inferior alveolar nerve while force profiles of different amplitudes and rates were applied to a premolar or the first molar in the most sensitive direction. The majority of afferents (17/20) showed a hyperbolic relationship between the steady-state discharge rate and the amplitude of the stimulatin...
