Visual perception of repaired cleft lip scarring face associated with different malocclusions via eye-tracking.

This study aimed to evaluate the visual facial perception in response to scars associated with repaired cleft lip (CL) on a male adolescent patient, as assessed via eye-tracking. Index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN) malocclusions, grades 1, 5, and 8 were added to the frontal view facial image of an adolescent male model showing asymmetries of the nose and upper lip after CL surgery using the software Photoshop CS5 software. The eye movements of 91 laypeople observers were tracked by an Eye Tribe infrared sensor connected to OGAMA software.

Social attractiveness perception of a cleft lip repair in an adolescent via eye-tracking.

Purpose: The present study was designed to investigate the perception of unilateral cleft lip (UCL) repair scar using an image of an adolescent and eye-tracking technology.

Material And Methods: Frontal and oblique views of an image of an adolescent with a unilateral upper lip scar result of a corrective surgery. Eighty-five laypeople respondents were divided into three groups: Group A (15-44 years of age); Group B (45-59 years of age); and Group C (≥ 60 years of age).

Visual facial perception of postsurgical cleft lip scarring assessed by laypeople via eye-tracking.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the visual facial perception in response to scars associated with repaired cleft lip (CL) on a male adolescent model, as assessed by eye-tracking technology.

Material And Methods: Unilateral and bilateral facial images of repaired CL on the upper lip and nasal asymmetry were added to an image of a male adolescent model, using Photoshop CS5 software. 40 laypeople eye movements were tracked by an infrared sensor of the Eye Tribe hardware in conjunction with OGAMA software.

Perceived stress and quality of life among graduate dental faculty.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the predictors of perceived stress and quality of life (QoL) among graduate dental faculty.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using a representative sample of 348 dental faculty members from master's and doctoral programs in Brazil. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires between August and December 2018.

Biomechanics for Orthodontic Intrusion of Severely Extruded Maxillary Molars for Functional Prosthetic Rehabilitation.

The objective of this clinical case is thus to present a Class II, division 1, subdivision malocclusion with a severely extruded maxillary left hemiarch, which, due to the loss of mandibular teeth, makes prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous spaces impossible. A significant intrusion was performed with mini-implants followed by miniplates associated with fixed appliance and elastomeric chains. The results of this process showed that the biological responses of the teeth and the surrounding bony structure to the intrusion were demonstrated to be normal and acceptable.

Achieving Better Function through Combining Orthodontics and Restorative Dentistry in the Case of Dental Abrasions.

This case report describes the orthodontic treatment used to prepare for restorative dentistry, aimed at the functional rehabilitation of an adult patient with Class I malocclusion, right posterior crossbite, and significant tooth wear on the palatal face of the maxillary canine to canine. The orthodontic treatment was performed with a total fixed appliance mini-expandex-type expander, associated with vertical elastics. Good dental intercuspation was obtained and enabled conditions for the restoration of the abrasions on the palatal surfaces of the maxillary incisors and canines and the tips of the buccal cusps of the maxillary right premolars and first molar.
