Aim: To evaluate maxillary and mandibular dental arch changes induced by a passive self-ligating system by analysing digital dental casts.

Subjects And Methods: A sample of 25 growing patients (16 females and 9 males, mean age 12.8 years) treated with passive self-ligating brackets was compared to a sample of 25 untreated controls (15 females and 10 males, mean age 13.

Purpose: The physical compatibility of cisatracurium with selected drugs during simulated Y-site administration was studied.

Methods: Study drugs were selected based on the lack of physical compatibility data with cisatracurium and their use in intensive care units. Test admixtures were prepared by mixing 2.

Background: The objectives of this study were to develop and validate a novel analysis protocol to measure linear and angular measurements of tip and torque of each tooth in the dental arches of virtual study models.

Methods: Maxillary and mandibular dental casts of 25 subjects with a full permanent dentition were scanned using a three-dimensional model scanner. Sixty points per arch were digitized on each model, five points on each tooth.
