This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic use fluoxetine on amount orthodontic tooth movement and tissue changes in rats. A total 192 Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups: S, 0.9% saline solution; F, 20 mg/kg fluoxetine; SM, solution with movement; FM, movement. After 30 days daily or administration, an device (25cN) was used mesially displace first molar animals groups SM FM. The euthanized 2, 7, 14, 28 after placement appliances S F at same time. assessment made gypsum...
This study describes a localized method – using optical fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) to determine the human bite force at very moment of occlusion, in maximum intercuspidation. The FBG was encapsulated silicone splint between uppers and lowers first molars avoiding pre-contact with other teeth dentition model. Gypsum dental castings two volunteers are performed semi-adjustable articulator occluded situation maintain angulations occlusal plane within normal occlusion. sensor characterized...
The aim of the study is to develop a new punctual method determine human bite force, between uppers and lowers first molars, at moment occlusion in maximum intercuspation. Fibre optic Bragg gratings are encapsulated an acetate splint made by casting volunteer lower dentition. Splint sensor was positioned into mouth be pressured with minimal occlusal interference. transversal pressure on FBG acquired before (free), biting. measured forces were 12N during 28N right molars.
This study describes the evolution of a punctual method to determine bite force. Now fiber Bragg grating sensor is encapsulated in minimal material between uppers and lowers first molars, at moment occlusion, avoiding precontacts other teeth dentition model. The gypsum castings were performed semi-adjustable articulator occluded situation maintain angulations occlusal plane volunteer. was characterized using loads from 0 90 N. Forces about 0.0112 nm/N found right molars.
