Objective: To evaluate the significance of crown-root angles (CRAs) by testing the null hypothesis that there are no significant differences in deviations of third-order angles to axial inclination values between Angle Class II division 2 incisors and a neutral occlusion control sample.
Materials And Methods: The study group comprised n(total) = 130 whites with either Angle Class II division 2 (n(1) = 62; group A) or neutral (n(2) = 68; control group B) occlusal relationships. Upper central incisor inclination (U1) was assessed with reference to the cephalometric lines NA and palatal plane (U1NA/deg, U1PP/deg). Craniofacial sagittal and vertical relations were classified using angles SNA, SNB, ANB, and NSL-PP. Third-order angles were derived from corresponding dental cast pairs using an incisor inclination gauge. Welch's two-sample t-tests (alpha-level: .05) were used to test the null hypothesis. Single linear regression was applied to determine third-order angle values as a function of axial inclination values (U1NA, U1PP) or sagittal craniofacial structures (ANB angle), separately for group A and B.
Results: The discrepancy between axial inclination (U1NA, U1PP) and third-order angles is significantly different (P < .001) between groups A and B. Regression analysis revealed a simply moderate correlation between third-order measurements and axial inclinations or sagittal craniofacial structures.
Conclusion: The hypothesis is rejected. The results of this study warn against the use of identical third-order angles irrespective of diminished CRAs typical for Angle Class II division 2 subjects. Routine CRA assessment may be considered in orthodontic treatment planning of Angle Class II division 2 cases.

Electro-optic (EO) modulation is a critical device action in photonics. Recently, the non-Drude dynamics induced by the Berry curvature dipole (BCD) in metals have attracted attention as a potential candidate for terahertz EO modulation. However, such BCD-induced EO effects can be challenging to realize, often requiring flat bands and complex materials such as a strained magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene on hexagonal boron nitride.

Article Synopsis
- Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are ideal for 3D printing via fused deposition modeling (FDM) when flexibility and strength are needed, but predicting how they deform can be challenging due to varying printing parameters.
- This study investigates the development of accurate hyperelastic constitutive models for TPU parts created with different infill geometries and nozzle temperatures, using six groups of uniaxial tensile specimens.
- The researchers found that a third-order Mooney-Rivlin model effectively represents the behavior of these TPU parts, and their approach was validated through experimental results and finite element analysis (FEA), showing minimal errors.

During its propagation, a shock wave may come across and interact with different perturbations, including acoustical waves. While this issue has been the subject of many studies, the particular acoustic-acoustic interaction between a weak shock and a sound wave has been very scarcely investigated. Here, a theory describing the encounter of those two waves is developed, up to second- and third-order.

Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on how different designs of lingual brackets and wire materials affect the torque generated during orthodontic adjustments with third-order bends.
- Three types of self-ligation lingual brackets were tested: AL, CL, and ST, each with varying slot shapes and dimensions.
- Results showed that the AL-bracket produced the highest torque, while the CL-bracket had the least torque with square wires but more than ST with rectangular wires, indicating wire material and bracket shape play significant roles in treatment outcomes.

Methods of quantifying the electrostatics of charged interfaces are important in a range of research areas. The surface-selective nonlinear optical technique second harmonic generation (SHG) is a sensitive probe of interfacial electrostatics. Recent work has shown that detection of the SHG phase in addition to its amplitude enables direct quantification of the interfacial potential.
