Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of face mask (FM) and Maxillary Bite Block (BB) in skeletal class III patients during mixed dentition with control group of the same class during their growth. Materials & Methods: Forty-two patients were selected based on clinical and cephalometric examination, with age ranged from 6 to 8 years according to definite criteria. Patients ...

INTRODUCTION Interceptive treatment of Class II, Division 1 malocclusion is a challenge orthodontists commonly face due to the different growth patterns they come across and the different treatment strategies they have available. OBJECTIVE To report five cases of interceptive orthodontics performed with the aid of Klammt's elastic open activator (KEOA) to treat Class II, Division 1 malocclusi...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to assess dentoskeletal symmetry in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of Brazilian individuals with Angle Class I malocclusion. MATERIAL A total of 47 patients (22 females and 25 males) aged between 11 and 16 years old (14 years) seen in a private radiology service (CIRO, Goiânia, GO, Brazil) were assessed. All CBCT scans were obtained from January,...

In this paper we study the following question related to Diophantine approximations and geometric measure theory: for a given set Ω find α such that α−θ has bad Diophantine properties simultaneously for all θ ∈ Ω. How do the arising Diophantine inequalities depend on the geometry of the set Ω? We provide several methods which yield different answers in terms of the metric entropy of Ω and consi...

There has always been concern in determining the relationship between orthodontic tooth movement and the consequent biological costs to the periodontium and tooth root. The possibility of evaluating the tooth and bone morphology by CBCT allows more accurate analysis of qualitative and quantitative aspects of these processes. This paper presents a case report of a 20-year-old male patient with C...

Purpose: The aim of this study was evaluation cephalometric changes in treatment skeletal class III malocclusion using miniscrews and intermaxillary closing coil springs. Material methods: Ten patients with Class due to maxillary deficiency were selected, their age range from 12 15 years old erupted all permanent teeth. Miniscrews (Hubit, Hubit co, Korea) inserted (1.6 mm diameter, 10 length) u...

This research compared ratings of task performance and contextual performance from three different sources: self, peer, and supervisor. Participants were service industry employees in the service industries in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A Sample of 146 employees and 40 supervisors   from the service industries provided ratings of task performance and contextual performance. The results indicated th...

We provide probabilistic lower bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples. These bounds are sharp in the sense that they match the recent probabilistic upper bounds for the star discrepancy of Latin hypercube samples proved in [M. Gnewuch, N. Hebbinghaus. Discrepancy bounds for a class of negatively dependent random points including Latin hypercube samples. Preprint 2016.]. Toge...
