We propose a novel technique to analyze multistable, non-linear dynamical systems. It enables one to characterize the evolution of a time-dependent stability margin along stable periodic orbits. By that, we are able to indicate the moments along the trajectory when the stability surplus is minimal, and even relatively small perturbation can lead to a tipping point. We explain the proposed approach using two paradigmatic dynamical systems, i.e., Rössler and Duffing oscillators. Then, the method is validated experimentally using the rig with a double pendulum excited parametrically. Both numerical and experimental results reveal significant fluctuations of sensitivity to perturbations along the considered periodic orbits. The proposed concept can be used in multiple applications including engineering, fluid dynamics, climate research, and photonics.

Objectives: To investigate whether extractions in adult anterior openbite (AOB) patients lead to improved treatment outcomes and better short-term stability.
Materials And Methods: Records of extraction (EXT) and nonextraction (NE) adult patients were identified from all patients treated with fixed appliances through the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network. Photographic Openbite Severity Index was used to assess treatment success and stability.

Background And Purpose: Compare breast cancer tumour bed (TB) delineation using stabilised hyaluronic acid (sHA) gel and MRI-simulation versus surgical clips and CT-simulation within same patient cohort.
Materials And Methods: Prospective single arm study of patients undergoing breast conserving surgery. Patients had both clips (≥5) and sHA gel markers inserted to define the TB and underwent MRI and CT simulation scans.

Objective: This case report presents the interdisciplinary retreatment of a patient with a worn full-mouth rehabilitation using defect-oriented restorations, horizontal preparations, and vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) increase.
Clinical Considerations: A 58-year-old woman with a previous full-mouth rehabilitation presented with worn dentition, loss of VDO, and reduced posterior support. Examination revealed signs of parafunctional habits, tetracycline-stained teeth, and compromised aesthetics with exposed discolored teeth and open embrasure spaces.

Aim: To assess hard as well as soft peri-implant tissues within cases having two lost adjacent anterior teeth treated through placing either two implants with two separate crowns or only an implant along with a crown with a cantilever, and evaluating the effect of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) restoration on cantilever design up to 18 months after functional loading.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven participants (15 males and 12 females; mean age, 38.6 years; range 20-50 years) with missing two adjacent anterior teeth were treated with implant system (Flotecno implant system, Italy).

Introduction: Aging-related deficits in the physiological properties of skeletal muscles limit the control of dynamic stability during walking. However, the specific causal relationships between these factors remain unclear. This study evaluated the effects of aging-related deficits in muscle properties on dynamic stability during walking.
