background and aims: tooth displacement changes the periodontium. the aim of orthodontic treatment was desired tooth movement with minimum side effects on the alveolar bone quality. the aim of the present study was to assess changes of alveolar trabeculation among children, youth and adults and the two genders. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional study, 63 patients who had been treat...

the amount and consistency of the applied forces to the tooth are important factors in tooth movements; therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the initial force and the force loss of three brands of elastics in 24 hours.in this in-vitro study sixty non-latex elastics (3/16 medium) from three companies (forestadent, dentaurum and ortho technology) were randomly selected. two static test...

introduction: the ability to accurately measure forces produced by orthodontic appliances during orthodontic treatment is desirable. the aim of the present study was to compare forces measured by mechanical formulae designed with a software program and those experimentally measured by a dynamometer to find a scientific way to determine the exact amount of activation needed for applying a force ...

this case of a female patient, 14 yr old with association of the two anomalies, which we came across with in 2014, is rarely met in the specialty practice. the impacted canines are part of the group of dental anomalies of position, while the agenesis is part of the group of dental number anomalies. the orthodontic treatment in the two arches has to be differentiated, the therapeutic objectives ...

This paper gives a brief description of the Controlled On/Off Loads Library (COOLL) dataset. This latter is a dataset of high-sampled electrical current and voltage measurements representing individual appliances consumption. The measurements were taken in June 2016 in the PRISME laboratory of the University of Orléans, France. The appliances are mainly controllable appliances (i.e. we can prec...

Using the price for recycling used home appliances as a variable in the decision-making process, this paper studies the pricing decision-making process of the home appliances enterprises when a wholesale and retail price for the green home appliances have already been determined by other methods. In consideration of the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to...

Using PAR index / Peer Assessment Rating Index / effectiveness of orthodontic treatment was assessed in the group of patients treated with fixed and removable appliances. The group consisted of 83 patients after the end of the active phase of treatment. 34 patients were treated with removable appliances and 49 patients were treated with fixed appliances. Patients came from three orthodontic wor...

This chapter presents a practical framework that adapts the conventional home electric appliances with the infrared remote controls (legacy appliances) to the emerging home network system (HNS). The proposed method extensively uses the concept of service-oriented architecture to improve programmatic interoperability among multi-vendor appliances. The authors first prepare APIs that assist a PC ...

Orthodontic appliances often cause oral diseases such as dental caries and gingivitis due to the attachment of an oral biofilm. However, there are few reliable methods to remove the biofilm from the orthodontic appliances. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of microbubbled water on the removal of biofilms made with Streptococcus mutans or Candida albicans on orthodontic applia...

Using the price for recycling used home appliances as a variable in the decision-making process, this paper studies the pricing decision-making process of the home appliances enterprises when a wholesale and retail price for the green home appliances have already been determined in advance. Considering the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to the whole sup...
