Methods cross-sectional on 141 parents from the Mahidol Dental Hospital online community. Informed consent obtained before...

Anterior tooth selection is one of the most challenging parts in determining dimensions and critical to aesthetic aspect complete denture treatment. However, methods for anterior size using facial measurements are still controversial. This study aimed investigate relationship between dental measurements, establish prediction equation Thai population treatment.One hundred twenty-five participants (53 men 72 women) aged 18-35 years old with Angle class I occlusion, did not currently undergo...

Because the digastric muscle is considered as an anatomical landmark, its variations may emphasize clinicians to be cautious during surgery. However, previous studies from different ethnicities reported a wide range of occurrence and several types this variation, pointing necessity data local population better treatment decisions. Thus, study aimed explore anterior belly in Thai cadavers.This cross-sectional investigated submental region 91 cadavers by convenient sampling method. The...

Abstract Background Researchers are cautioned against misinterpreting the conventional P value, especially while implementing popular t test. Therefore, this study evaluated agreement between value and Bayes factor (BF 01 ) results obtained from a comparison of sample means in published orthodontic articles. Methods Data pooling was undertaken using modified PRISMA flow diagram. Per inclusion criteria applied to The Angle Orthodontist journal for two-year period (November 2016 September...

Bonding before sealant application enhances retention on saliva-contaminated sound teeth; however, there are few studies of bonding's efficacy occlusal caries.To evaluate a bonding agent's caries and transition.One hundred twenty pairs first permanent molars with (ICDAS 2-4) from 98 children aged 7.3-9.9 years were included. One molar was randomly selected to use (Adper™ Single Bond 2, 3M ESPE) applied (Helioseal® clear, Ivoclar Vivadent). not used the contralateral tooth. Retention...

Classification has applications in a wide range of fields including medicine, engineering, computer science and social sciences among others. In statistical terms, classification is inference about the unknown parameters, i.e., true classes future objects. Hence, various standard approaches can be used, such as point estimators, confidence sets decision theoretic approaches. For example, classifier that classifies object belonging to only one several known estimator. The purpose this paper...
