The connection between unconscious subjects and psycho-somatic manifestation is well known in the literature. Although more and more data is known about this connection related to the oro-facial region as well, investigation of this interesting problem is still has theoretical and clinical relevance. To collect more data about this field, 257 of tooth drawings of 8-18 years old schoolchildren from normal population were studied as a pilot to establish further investigations related to drawing-projections in connection with the oro-facial region. This first analysis of the data indicated that, gender correlates significantly with the size of the drawings (p< or =0.05), and localisation of the drawings (p< or =0.05). Differences between elementary schoolchildren and the more mature middle school children were detected as well related to subject (p< or =0.05) and localisation (p< or =0.05) of the drawings.

The taxonomic study of microcrustaceans is a time consuming and challenging endeavor, which has slowed the rate of new discoveries, and in turn knowledge on, global aquatic biodiversity. To facilitate the study of these small organisms, new applications continually need to be explored. Here, we assess the potential use of environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) techniques, specifically cryo-field emission SEM (cryo-FESEM), for taxonomic descriptions of microcrustaceans.

Unlabelled: The amount of residual dentin thickness and tooth position in the dental arch is crucial to determine whether an intraradicular post should be used. This study aimed to compare stress distribution on the root dentin of an endodontically treated tooth rehabilitated with CAD/CAM milled glass fiber posts (MP), cast metal posts (CMP), or prefabricated posts (PP) with or without ferrule support, using the finite element method.
Materials And Methods: A human upper central incisor was selected, scanned, and treated endodontically.

Introduction: Facemask(FM) is an orthopedic appliance with extraoral and intraoral anchoring units used in treatment of maxillary retrognathia. Aim of this study was to assess effects of tooth-supported FM application via fixed orthodontic appliances on craniofacial structures with finite element stress analysis.
Materials And Methods: A model was constructed on maxillary teeth with Roth brackets (0.

This study suggests the term tooth shame and explores it as a phenomenon encompassing deep entanglements between emotional experiences, social interactions, and care work practices. Drawing on shame research concerning the body, health, and class, juxtaposed with odontological research on the social implications of oral health issues, it investigates how tooth shame appears in Danish elderly care. In Denmark, oral health is notably impaired among older people depending on professional care, with significant repercussions for general health and social life.
