Relationship between the training of young recruits and values of bite forces.

Analysis of masticatory function is the basis of clinical work in almost all fields of dentistry. Bite forces are the expression and measure of masticatory function. Physical training has an effect on the development of functional ability, motoric ability of the organism and the formation of desired physical proportions.

Estimation of chemical resistance of dental ceramics by neural network.

Objectives: The purpose of this research was to determine the mass concentrations of ions eluted from dental ceramic after an exposure to hydrochloric acid and, drawing on those results, to develop a feedforward backpropagation neural network (NN).

Materials And Methods: Four dental ceramics were selected for this study. The experimental measurement was conducted after 1, 2, 3, 6 and 12 months of exposure to hydrochloric acid.
