Combining Orthodontic and Restorative Care with Novel Workflows.

This report describes multidisciplinary care combining orthodontics and restorative dentistry for a patient with Class II occlusion and stained mandibular and maxillary resin composite veneers. The orthodontic treatment improved severe overjet and malocclusion prior to restorative care. Occlusal assessment was provided with a novel digital device (PlaneSystem, Zirkonzahn) that is integrated with digital workflows for the evaluation of the occlusal plane and condylar path inclination.

Segmentation of the ECG Signal by Means of a Linear Regression Algorithm.

The monitoring and processing of electrocardiogram (ECG) beats have been actively studied in recent years: new lines of research have even been developed to analyze ECG signals using mobile devices. Considering these trends, we proposed a simple and low computing cost algorithm to process and analyze an ECG signal. Our approach is based on the use of linear regression to segment the signal, with the goal of detecting the R point of the ECG wave and later, to separate the signal in periods for detecting P, Q, S, and T peaks.
