The aim of this in study was the evaluation treatment outcomes after using a hybrid hyrax-facemask combination growing class III patients. Treatment 16 children (mean age 9.5 ± 1.3 years) investigated clinically and by means pre- post-treatment cephalograms. Changes sagittal vertical, dental skeletal values were evaluated tested for statistically significant differences. All mini-implants remained stable during treatment. Mean duration 5.8 1.7 months. There improvement values: SNA, +2.0°;...
ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate whether resonance frequency analysis (RFA) is suitable to measure orthodontic mini-implant stability. Implant size significantly affects the level of frequency. Regarding operating mode RFA, it has be proven mini-implants in bone fits range emitted by Osstell ISQ device. Material and Methods: For this purpose SmartPegs device were modified fit with inner screw thread mini-implants, 110 inserted into porcine pelvic bone. RFA was performed parallel...
To assess the effect of wear-time recording on subjective and objective wear time.This study retrospectively examined a group 18 patients control 14 at four appointments over 168 days. The were treated with removable appliances embedded TheraMon-microsensors to be worn for 15 hours per day. was not told about microsensor until first appointment after fitting appliance. At each asked their time afterward time. existence revealed when appliance fitted. Objective also announced every...
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the changes of mini-implant stability over initial healing period in humans. Material and Methods: A sample 19 consecutively treated patients (mean age 15.5 ± 7.3 years) was examined. In each patient, a size 2 × 9 mm inserted into anterior palate. Implant assessed using resonance frequency analysis (RFA) immediately after insertion (T0), weeks later (T1), 4 (T2), 6 (T3). Insertion depth (ID) maximum torque (IT) were measured. Data tested for correlations...
Abstract Background It remains unclear how physical activity (PA) interventions need to be designed reach older adults and widely accepted in this target group. The aim of study was assess the acceptance a web-based PA program, including individual intervention components as well relevant contextual factors, specify requirements for future interventions. Methods Two hundred sixty-six participants completed questionnaire covering program (content, structure, context). Further, 25 episodic...
Aim of the study was to assess impact length mini-implants inserted in midpalatal region on stability at initial healing period. A sample 20 consecutively treated patients (15.6 ± 7.2 years) examined. long mini-implant with a 11 mm and diameter 2 into anterior palate each patient. Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) performed after insertion (T0), two weeks (T1), four (T2), six (T3). Insertion depth (ID) maximum torque (IT) were measured. RFA, ID IT data tested for correlations. RFA values...
The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the accuracy completely customized lingual appliance WIN (DW Lingual Systems, Bad Essen, Germany) employing a three-dimensional (3D) comparison between setup and final result.The models 20 consecutively debonded patients (40 jaws; 7 males, 13 females; mean age 15.76 ± 4.45 years) with various malocclusions private practice specialized in orthodontics were digitalized using 3D scanner. model each jaw then digitally matched best fit...
Abstract Objectives To assess the stability development of paramedian in comparison with midpalatal inserted mini‐implants. Material and methods The test group consisted 21 consecutively treated patients (13.7 ± 4.6 years). In each patient, a mini‐implant was anterior palate. Measurement insertion depth ( ID ), maximum torque IT resonance frequency analysis RFA ) performed at T 0. repeated after 2 weeks 1), 4 2), 6 3). Correlations between measuring were calculated. values different times...
Comprehensive measurements are needed in older populations to detect physical changes, initiate prompt interventions, and prevent functional decline. While established instruments such as the Timed Up Go (TUG) 5 Times Chair Rise Test (5CRT) require trained clinicians assess corresponding parameters, unsupervised screening system (USS), developed a two-stage participatory design process, has since been introduced community-dwelling adults. In previous article, we investigated USS's...
The participation of older people in research and development processes has long been called for but not sufficiently put into practice. In addition, is often late particularly intensive, so that certain groups are underrepresented the health technologies (HT). Heterogeneity, e.g., between urban rural populations, access to motivation also rarely taken account. aim this study was investigate form phases hard-to-reach process HT.
Although digital approaches for disease prevention in older people have a high potential and are being used more often, there still inequalities access use. One reason could be that technology development future users insufficiently taken into consideration, or involved very late the process using inappropriate methods. The aim of this work was to analyze motivation participating, their perceptions participation research health technologies aimed at care people.
ABSTRACT Objectives To verify the accuracy of soy-based resins for dental three-dimensional (3D) printing. Materials and Methods After conducting a power analysis, models 10 consecutively treated patients were produced from four different using 3D printer. Two these soy based therefore biodegradable. These 20 measured manually with caliper as well digitally by software compared on measurement parameters in all three spatial axes. Results No statistically significant differences found between...
