Kartini's Orthodontic Practice is a company engaged in the specialized services field of dental health. Service that offered by Kartini to correct position teeth irregular, monitor development and growth gums, as well interpreting results examinations existing diagnoses,dental care, such scaling, overcoming cavities,tooth extraction, others. The problem occurs this clinic doctors often experien...

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is increasingly being explored for treatment of periodontitis. Here, we investigated the effect of aPDT on human dental plaque bacteria in suspensions and biofilms in vitro using methylene blue (MB)-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic) (PLGA) nanoparticles (MB-NP) and red light at 660 nm. The effect of MB-NP-based aPDT was also evaluated in a clinical pilot ...

The surface roughness of dental restorative materials has a crucial effect on the health of dental and periodontal tissues as well as for the longevity of restorations. In this study we tested a glass ionomer restorative cement, two nanohybrid resin composites, a flowable resin composite and a silorane-based composite. Twenty cylindrical specimens of each material were prepared, cured, polished...

Conodonts have been considered the earliest skeletonizing vertebrates and their mineralized feeding apparatus interpreted as having performed a tooth function. However, the absence of jaws in conodonts and the small size of their oropharyngeal musculature limits the force available for fracturing food items, presenting a challenge to this interpretation. We address this issue quantitatively usi...

The purpose of this study is to cluster all of the oral and dental health centers that have a wide range of service and rate (119 in 2009, 117 in 2010) in 7 regions of Turkey apart from the dental hospitals under the Ministry of Health according to the services they offer and determine the service groups which affect the clustering. The second aim which the study has focused on is to determine ...

To investigate inhibitory effect for oral bacterial proliferation, we divided 12 dogs into 3 groups; scaling alone (C; control group), brushing (B) and application of toothpaste (P). Before scaling (Pre) and at 0 to 8 weeks after scaling (0-8 w), we collected oral bacteria from the dental surface every week and counted them using a bacterial counter. The results demonstrated a significant reduc...

Gaining higher level evolutionary information about large software systems is key a in validating past and adjusting future development processes. In this paper we address the visualization of problem reports by taking advantage of the proximity introduced by changes required to fix a problem. Our analyses are based on modification and problem report data representing the system’s history. For ...

Glimma is a Bioconductor package for interactive visualization of the results from a differential expression analysis of RNA-sequencing data. This functionality is intended to enhance reporting capabilities so that results can be explored more easily by end-users. Glimma (which loosely stands for Interactive Graphics from the limma package) extends some of the popular plotting capabilities in l...

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a class of methods used to find a low-dimensional representation of a set of points given a matrix of pairwise distances between them. Problems of this kind arise in various applications, from dimensionality reduction of image manifolds to psychology and statistics. In many of these applications, efficient and accurate solution of an MDS problem is required. In...

The graphical representation method, Robust CoPlot, is a robust variant of the classical CoPlot method. CoPlot is an adaptation of multidimensional scaling (MDS), and is a practical tool for visual inspection and rich interpretation of multivariate data. CoPlot enables presentation of a multidimensional dataset in a two dimensions, in a manner that relations between both variables and observati...
