Facial reconstruction is a technique that aims to reproduce the individual facial characteristics based on interpretation of skull, with objective recognition leading identification. The aim this paper was evaluate accuracy and level three-dimensional (3D) computerized forensic craniofacial (CCFR) performed in blind test open-source software using computed tomography (CT) data from live subjects. Four CCFRs were produced by one researchers, who provided information concerning age, sex,...
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) is considered as one of the greatest composers Classical Period music (ca. 1750–1820). Gifted with an unparalleled precocity, which allowed him to play and compose at highest levels from a very young age, he continued his studies until end life. Despite prominent status, was buried in collective grave years later skull supposedly recovered, reaching present day surrounded by atmosphere mystery controversy. This study, using free, open-source, multiplatform...
The oral cavity's importance in defining the facial region makes it a primary feature for forensic reconstruction (FFR). aim of this study is to construct pattern reference dimensions and proportions lips establish parameters that may help estimate vermilion borders' height mouth's width. By means cone beam computed tomography, divided into two samples: sample 1 (n = 322; 137 male, 185 female) verified linear distances delimited by anatomical landmarks soft tissue. 2 108; 40 68 female),...
Forensic facial reconstruction aims to assemble and provide the appearance of a face over skull, in order lead recognition that individual, making possible application primary identification methods. The scientific literature presents soft tissue thickness (FSTT) tables for reference from range different geographic regions. However, consensus on its importance or how use specific population data related FSTT is not unanimous. Brazil formed by regions with diverse populations, which are...
Abstract Few studies have assessed the use of frontal sinus cavities for sex differentiation. In this study, a new methodology was used to assess reliability CBCT images cavity determining based on sexual dimorphism found in anatomical structure. The survey sample consisted 130 scans that were reconstructed three‐dimensionally. 3D volume frontal, lateral, and basal views exported TIFF . following variables measured second program: area, perimeter, bounding rectangle, ellipse fit,...
This article offers a novel and original facial reconstruction of pharaoh Tutankhamun based on data published in the biomedical Egyptological literature. The adopts Blender 3D software, running add-on OrtogOnBlender, which allows for refined presentation soft tissues. present is also compared to other approaches produced past.
In 1950 on Mount Zlatý kůň (‘Golden Horse’) in modern-day Czech Republic a system of caves was discovered. During many years research this area, human and animal osteological remains have been excavated, among which the most interesting ones were nine fragments female skull, now dated to ca. 43,000 yrs BP are one earliest known anatomically modern humans Eurasia. The aim use purely digital techniques to: (1) reconstruct skull based 3D data preserved fragments, (2) approximate probable...
Abstract Background/Aim Removing resin composites used for bonding dental trauma splints may result in irreversible damage to the enamel. This vitro study evaluated influence of additional violet illumination and different bur types on caused tooth Materials Methods Fifteen maxillary models with four bovine incisor teeth were prepared. All scanned using a laboratory scanning system (s600 ARTI; Zirkonzahn). Six experimental groups ( n = 10) generated by two factors: lighting type (three...
A obra analisada encontra-se na sua primeira edicao, datada de 1997, que possui duas capas: uma para a versao flexivel e outra capa dura (Figura 1). Este livro, segundo os proprios autores, um relato da colaboracao nao se restringe entre dois autores pois registra historia dessa parceria em muitos paises com muitas instituicoes colaboradores. Cita-se o Museu britânico, Manchester, museus Grecia, Turquia outros. Alem museus, lista compreende Universidades, hospitais longa colaboradores...
Splinting is an important procedure after avulsion. However, the role of splint stiffness and extension not fully understood. The aim this study was to evaluate effect extensions on mobility stress injured tooth under physiological biting load.Three-dimensional (3D) finite element models were created from a cone beam computer tomogram patient with normal occlusion. An avulsion injury right central incisor 1000 N load application palatal tooth, causing increased socket width. Splints made...
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre o momento da etica odontologica, comportamentos observados nas midias sociais, e a influencia do mercado de consumo na Odontologia. Foi realizada uma analise em diferentes perspectivas temporais proposta “flexibilizacao” Codigo Etica, que significaria abrir normas por principio sao fechadas, abdicando ou tirando contexto alguns dos principios norteadores conduta Cirurgiao-dentista. Aditivamente, mostrou-se algumas possiveis saidas para as...
ntroducao: Cada vez mais os pacientes recorrem as vias legais para reivindicar ressarcimentos de danos, decorrentes tratamentos ortodonticos que consideram tecnicamente inadequados. Muitos desses processos decorrem da nao compreensao natureza diferenciada do tratamento ortodontico. Objetivo: discutir alguns aspectos sobre responsabilidade civil Cirurgiao-Dentista exerce a pratica ortodontica, particularmente comunicacao planejamento caso ao paciente. Discussao e consideracoes finais:...
Forensic Facial Reconstruction is a branch of Anthropology that attempts to approximate the appearance an unknown individual through soft tissue reconstruction, after anthropological craniofacial analysis carried out. The reconstruction publicized in media aims at recognition, which can trigger formal human identification. Knowing anthropometric relationships between hard and tissues useful increase accuracy reconstructions. It was sought evaluate performance software OsiriX as tool for both...
Forensic or scientific practices may require producing orthopantomography of dry skulls, that lack soft tissue, therefore modifications on the usual technique should be necessary.With objective standardizing postmortem digital and analogue panoramic radiography this research produced a single 13 images, using different exposure configurations four objects to try overcome effects tissue radiation absorption analog radiographs.A gel based ice pack, 20 mm dental wax block, 0.5 metallic foil...
