Disocclusion: a variational approach using level lines.

Published: May 2010

Object recognition, robot vision, image and film restoration may require the ability to perform disocclusion. We call disocclusion the recovery of occluded areas in a digital image by interpolation from their vicinity. It is shown in this paper how disocclusion can be performed by means of the level-lines structure, which offers a reliable, complete and contrast-invariant representation of images. Level-lines based disocclusion yields a solution that may have strong discontinuities. The proposed method is compatible with Kanizsa's amodal completion theory.

Background: Worn dentition is a common problem encountered by most people in the last decade. Rehabilitation of a full mouth needs individual attention and proper treatment planning, which is very challenging for partial edentulous cases where bilateral teeth are missing and collapsed vertical dimension leaves inadequate restorative space. Treatment of these cases is complex and needs to apply standard principles while designing and fabricating prostheses.

The paper introduces PreVR, a method for allowing the user of a VR application to preview a virtual environment (VE) around any number of corners. This way the user can gain line of sight to any part of the VE, no matter how distant or how heavily occluded it is. PreVR relies on a multiperspective visualization that implements a higher-order disocclusion effect with piecewise linear rays that bend multiple times as needed to reach the visualization target.

Objectives: This study aims to identify the two-dimensional and three-dimensional analyses and evaluate the loss of tooth structure in the tooth's different constituent elements and the ceramic antagonist's surface.

Methods: In this study, three groups (n = 10) represented by different ceramic systems (lithium disilicate [GDis], lithium silicate reinforced with zirconia [GSil], and monolithic zirconia [GZir]) were evaluated. Each group obtained ten ceramic blocks and submitted them to the sintering/crystallization process.

Introduction: Orofacial myofunctional reeducation (OFMR) is the rehabilitation of the muscles, functions and resting postures of the orofacial complex. It is used in the therapeutic management of orofacial dysfunction in patients of all ages and with a wide range of disorders and comorbidities.

Objective: The main objective of this article was to advocate the association of orofacial myofunctional reeducation (OFMR) with the use of prefabricated reeducation appliances (PRAs) in orthodontics.

Objectives: This study was conducted to detect the overall performance of both static and dynamic occlusion in post-orthodontic patients using quantified methods, and to ascertain the correlation between the two states of occlusion.

Materials And Methods: A total of 112 consecutive patients evaluated by ABO-OGS were included in this study. Based on the pre-treatment Angle's classification of the malocclusion, samples were divided into four groups.
