Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to explore how different shapes of attachments on maxillary anterior teeth affect tooth movement when using clear aligners, looking to offer valuable information for orthodontic clinical design.
  • Various attachment shapes (no attachment, rectangular, wedge-shaped, and curved arc) were analyzed using 3D finite element simulations to observe their biomechanical effects on lateral incisors and other dental structures under load.
  • Results indicated that rectangular and curved arc attachments enhance coronal and vertical control during tooth movement, showing that the shape of the attachment impacts efficiency and distribution of stress on the periodontal ligament significantly.

Objective: To assess the efficiency of mattress-type micro sensitive monitor (MMSM) in sleep monitoring.

Methods: Forty patients diagnosed as obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) by polysomnography (PSG) were randomly chosen, then received MMSM examination within 2 - 5 days. The results of both methods were compared, using the respiratory disturbance index, sleep efficiency, and obstructive factors as indicators.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of endoscopic surgery using the low-temperature plasma radiofrequency for nasal hemangioma.

Methods: Clinical data of 15 patients treated between October 2007 and October 2009 under endoscopic surgery using the low-temperature plasma radiofrequency were retrospectively studied.

Results: All tumors in 15 patients were completely removed.

Objective: To assess the accuracy of pulse transit time (PTT) in classification of apnea events, and collect data for clinical application reference.

Methods: Thirty-two obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients included in the research had Polysomnography (PSG), and 10 305 apnea events were recorded. All the events were analyzed by PTT and esophageal pressure (Pes) respectively.
