INTRODUCTION The objective of this validation study was to compare standard plaster models (the current gold standard for cast measurements) with their digital counterparts made with emodel software (version 6.0, GeoDigm, Chanhassen, Minn) for the analysis of tooth sizes and occlusal relationships--specifically the Bolton analysis and the peer assessment rating (PAR) index and their components....

The parameters of the level calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D3 in blood injured dogs aged 6 to 8 months were studied. In all animals with limb fractures, levels Ca, P, are reduced, which led bone fragility. We used a conservative method treatment application plaster cast medical aimed at relieving inflammation, pain formation callus. After removing cast, had joint stiffness, soreness, partial m...

Figure 2 Technique of splinting metacarpal fractures directly or using the proximal phalanx as a piston. The main issue with the closed technique is maintaining the reduced position in a plaster cast once moulding is complete, thereby commonly necessitating surgical stabilisation. We describe a novel and useful technique that maintains the reduction in the intrinsic plus (Edinburgh) position wi...

We compared two conservative methods of treating Weber B1 (Lauge-Hansen supination-eversion 2) isolated fractures of the lateral malleolus in 65 patients. Treatment by immediate weight-bearing and mobilisation resulted in earlier rehabilitation than immobilisation for four weeks in a plaster cast. There was no significant difference in the amount of pain experienced or in the requirement for an...

A five-year-old boy presented with a simple undisplaced fracture of the lower end of the left radius. An above-elbow plasterwas applied and he was sent home. Twenty-four hours later a “ plaster check” revealed a swollen hand and the patient complained of intense pain. There was a rash on the left anterior abdominal wall and he was mildly febrile (38.3 degrees Celsius). The plaster was removed a...

To reduce the risk of spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the emerging protocols are advising for less physicianpatientcontact, shortening the contact time, and keeping a safe distance. It is recommended that unnecessary castingbe avoided in the events that alternative methods can be applied such as in stable ankle fractures, and hindfoot/midfoot/forefoot injuries. Fib...

This article focuses on the production of plaster ornaments in 19th century. The concludes with a special example Netherlands. From Renaissance stucco walls and ceilings were partly cast. In course century, for are manufactured an industrial scale. Unique Netherlands country house Wassenaar is figurative frieze by sculptor-stuccoist Wilhelm Dankberg from Berlin.

The plaster-casting method to create a scoliosis brace consists of mould generation and rectification obtain the desired orthosis geometry. Alternative methods entail use 3D scanning CAD/CAM. However, both manual digital design entirely rely on orthotist expertise. Characterisation process is needed ensure that designs are as efficient plaster-cast designs. Three-dimensional scans five patients...
