Ultrasound (US) can easily penetrate media with excellent spatial precision corresponding to its wavelength. Naturally, US plays a pivotal role in the echolocation abilities of certain mammals such as bats and dolphins. In addition, medical US generated by transducers interact with tissues via delivering ultrasonic energy in the modes of heat generation, exertion of acoustic radiation force (ARF), and acoustic cavitation.

Orthodontists play a pivotal role in diagnosing, planning, and preparing patients for orthognathic surgeries. Digital technologies like cephalometry, intraoral scans, CBCT scans, CAD-CAM-assisted 3-D planning, and printed surgical splints, have largely replaced conventional techniques. The automated software produces surgical splints with a design similar to conventional which may not address complex scenarios, involving symmetric and asymmetric maxillary impaction.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the role of various animal species in animal-assisted services (AAS) for humans, focusing on both common (dogs and horses) and unconventional animals (like guinea pigs and dolphins).
  • While many articles highlight the positive effects of AAS on humans, there is limited research on the stress and welfare of the participating animals.
  • The authors call for more comprehensive studies to assess the potential stress levels in these animals, suggesting that animal welfare should be a priority alongside human therapeutic benefits.
