a platform of wire mesh (4 to the inch) is arranged inside the cage. A removable lid about 1^ inches deep is prepared. A third of this lid is cut away and fine-meshed (40 to the inch) good quality copper or brass gauze is fixed by soldering, or better still by soldering a strip of tin over the free edges. A shallow (about \ inch deep) removable tray is fitted near the bottom of the tin and the ...

in this study, as for the re-casting, surface alloying and re-solidification layer of this alloys at the work piece level machining with wire electro discharge machining (wedm), changes of surface micro hardness with changes of operational parameters has been studied. therefore, study shows using surface alloying phenomena with the diffusion of wire material into the machined surface and select...

The brass tubes with foam cores of AlSi7SiC3, AlSi7SiC3Fe1 and AlSi7SiC3Fe3 were produced as the crush-boxes with circle and square cross-section. Then axial compressive behavior and energy absorption capability of the foam-filled tubes were investigated during the quasi-static progressive plastic buckling. The uniaxial compressive stress–strain curves of the foam-filled brass tubes exhibited t...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare and measure the amount of anchorage loss with titanium microimplants and conventional molar anchorage during canine retraction. METHODS Subjects for this study comprised 10 orthodontic patients (7 women, 3 men) with a mean age of 19.6 years (range, 18 to 25 years), who had therapeutic extraction of all first premolars. After leveling and a...

INTRODUCTION Technological advances in Dentistry have emerged primarily in the area of diagnostic tools. One example is the 3D scanner, which can transform plaster models into three-dimensional digital models. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to assess the reliability of tooth size-arch length discrepancy analysis measurements performed on three-dimensional digital models, and compare these measure...

INTRODUCTION There is a popular belief among some musicians that playing a wind instrument regularly can affect the position of the teeth. The aim of this study was to investigate this hypothesis. METHODS A cross-sectional observational study was carried out, comparing the occlusions of 170 professional musicians selected from 21 orchestras and organizations in the United Kingdom. The subject...
