Dialogue protocols in Artificial Intelligence and Law have become increasingly stylised, intended to examine the logic of particular legal phenomena such as burden of proof, rather than the procedures within which these phenomena occur. In this paper we will return to the original idea of using dialogue to model particular procedures by examining some very particular dialogues those found in or...

Various dental and basal deviations may result in a Class II malocclusion. Mandibular retrusion is common finding [3], as are pronounced overjet and prominent maxillary incisors with incomplete lip closure. Pronounced overjet and incomplete lip closure has been shown to increase the risk for dental trauma [4]. Recent Cochrane review reported that early treatment with a functional appliance achi...

Background: A minimum of four implants should be used in edentulous maxillae to anchor a dental prosthesis. A wide anterior/posterior distribution of the implants is advantageous. Besides bone grafting, short or tilted implants are used to achieve this in atrophic edentulous maxillae. The implants define a polygon that should be as large as possible. This study investigated the differences in t...

Dental enamel is the only mineralized tissue of epithelial origin in mammals. The exceptional structural complexity and physical properties of tooth enamel seem to be dependent upon the properties of the protein matrix precursor. Proteins involved in enamel biosynthesis guide hydroxyapatite mineral formation, making the tooth enamel the hardest tissue in the vertebrate body. In dentistry, due t...

A conception of discussing mathematical material in the domain of calculus is outlined. Applications include that university students work at their knowledge and prepare for their oral examinations by utilizing the dialogue system. The conception is based upon three pillars. One central pillar is a knowledge base containing collections of mathematical objects: theorems and their proofs, concept...
