Combined Orthodontic-Prosthetic Treatment in Patients with Bruxism
No full textOrthodontic treatment in some cases alleviates or is a necessity for successful prosthetic treatment. The aim of the study is to present orthodontic-prosthetic treatment in third degree bruxism patients and the relationship between orthodontics and prosthetics. The 47-year-old patient is treated with a fixed appliance in the lower jaw (aesthetic braces) and teeth splint (Erkodur 2 mm) in the upper jaw. The reverse occlusion in the frontal region is corrected with the intrusion and the retrusion of the frontal teeth of the lower jaw. After orthodontic treatment, frontal teeth of the lower jaw 33 to 43 are fixed with Reteiner then the prosthetic compensation of the missing teeth in the both jaws are done with Zirconia crowns and bridges with CAD-CAM technique. Aesthetics and function after orthodontic-prosthetic treatment of bruxism has been very satisfying. The reverse occlusion is corrected and teeth abraded surfaces from bruxism were compensated. At the end of the treatment, occlusion and ideal articulation is achieved and the patient has no longer expressed bruxism. Based on patient examination, model analysis, OPG and photos before and after treatment, we can conclude that the treatment has been very successful. In the presented case, occlusal disorder and missing teeth could have been the cause of bruxism. Achieved success is stable even 9 years after treatment
Orthodontic Treatment of Maxillary Protrusion in Adults
No full textOrthodontic treatment in adults from the age of 21 and older, according to Moyers, is belated treatment; according to German group of authors, the end of age 18 and higher is the border line for Belated Treatment. This rule does not apply for all abnormalities, e.g. accentuated sceletal abnormalities, in which a belated orthodontic treatment could be even in the age of 12. Definitions: Adult treatment and Belated treatment all the same are not identic but launching a therapy in short-fall of growth and development is valid for both mentioned. In this case will be presented an orthodontic treatment in adult with maxillary protrusion and increased overjet. Fixed (Edgewise technique) treatment was used - with Headgear and Quadhelix as orthodontic aids. Due to processes of bone destruction, growth and remodeling in parodontium is slower in adults, continued elastic forces should be applied in lower intensity compared on that used in adolescents. In this case, after clinic examination and orthodontic analysis, it was decided to extract first maxillary premolars. Based on comparison of models, photographs, and cephalometrics analysis before and after treatment, we can conclude that results were good enough, maxillary frontal teeth were retruted, occlusal relationship improved, and esthethics is improved. The treatment has lasted 12 to 15 months whereas retention phase has lasted more than in young patients
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
