Three-dimensional photoelastic stress analysis was used to investigate the design of Class I cavity preparations. Enlarged, epoxy resin models mandibular first molar were modified with variations The stresses "frozen" into them sectioned on predetermined planes. resulting fringe patterns demonstrated that significant exist in planes remote from loads, and rounding internal line angles reduces significantly.
Abstract Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has been implemented in the treatment of cleft lip palates (CLP) by several research groups. This pilot study presents a technique that combines intraoral molding with semi-automated plate generation 3D-printing. The clinical results two approaches are compared. is first investigation molding. Our included newborns unilateral CLP. Plaster models were digitalized measured independent observers. Two methods...
This study describes the dentoalveolar and palatal growth during first months of life. Knowledge concerning this development is essential to avoid unwanted events such as mucosal ulcerations or restriction when cleft-lip palate (CLP) patients are treated. The results involve generation CAD/CAM CLP-feeding plates. Intraoral impressions from 32 healthy newborns were taken monthly for 5 months, supplemented by measurements body weight, length, occipital-frontal head circumference. casts...
Much of the research on bioinspired soft robotics has focused capturing interplay biological form and function. However, existing robotic actuators are mostly made with linear or planar fabrication orientations that do not represent resting geometry complex systems, such as curved musculature. This work introduces ability to create fiber-reinforced precurved configurations. By tuning variables dimensions fiber angles, an optimization algorithm can prescribe mechanical parameters a actuator...
Abstract Nasoalveolar moulding (NAM) has become a widely accepted and evidence-based treatment strategy for newborns with cleft lip palate (CLP), attempting to reduce the gap form an appropriately shaped alveolar arch by intraoral patient-specific NAM plate erect usually flattened nostrils towards natural nose wing occurrence. The generation of such requires, besides 3d information patient’s initially palate, estimated target model maxilla. Previous studies showed applicability curve-based...
