Objectives: The perioral muscles postural and functional abnormality should be clearly evaluated. The influence of the abnormal function of mentalis muscle on the shape and posture of the mandible was evaluated using a finite element approach.
Methods: Finite element analysis was used to create a three-dimensional representation of a human mandible that represents a dry normal mandible with teeth (33-36 gm/cm).
Objectives: In order to assess the changes in tooth orthodontic adhesive interface microleakage after applying a caries resin penetrated to the sound enamel tooth surface in different storage media.
Materials And Methods: A total of 60 human maxillary first premolars (orthodontic extraction) were collected by random separation of the teeth into two equal groups. The control group was classified into three subgroups (n = 10) (control in deionized water, control in milk, and control in energy drink), while the experimental one (treated with ICON) was categorized into three subgroups (n = 10) (ICON in deionized water, ICON in milk, and ICON in energy drink) incubation phase lasted three weeks in total.
Unlabelled: PowerScope 2 is a fixed functional appliance for patients with Class II malocclusion and a retrognathic mandible, that has recently received attention due to its pronounced advantages, for both orthodontists and patients.
Objective: of study: This study evaluated the action of the PowerScope 2 appliance for correcting Class II malocclusion and the stresses and displacement of the mandible during loading using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). The sites of the mandibular skeletal and/or dental corrections were also distinguished.
Objective: This research was designed to study the effects of calcium hydroxyapatite nanoparticle incorporation on polymerization as well as the shear bond strength for Heliosit adhesive.
Materials And Methods: Calcium hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were prepared from natural products using the sol-gel method, and were inspected using a transmission electron microscope. The nanoparticles were added to the conventional orthodontic adhesive at 2% wt and 4% wt concentrations.
Objectives: The effect of buccinator muscle on the mandible need to be more clarified. Finite element method used to estimate the effect of the buccinator during abnormal function on the size and shape of the mandible.
Methods: Three-dimensional model of human mandible using Finite element analysis referring to dry normal mandible with teeth as a template The mechanical characteristic of the materials were supposed to be homogenous, isotropic, and linear elastic Auto mesh order used to discredit the model under analysis to numerous elements; every element includes numbers of apexes called nodes; the association of elements and nodes called the finite element mesh.
Objective: To search the effects of Curve of Spee (COS) flatting on the stresses and displacement on the different mandible landmarks and lower teeth during posterior teeth loading using three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis.
Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional hemi mandibular model was created from real selected mandible. The lower teeth was aligned originally in a curved form with 2.
