Interdisciplinarietà ortodonzia e protesi nell’utilizzo del Maryland Bridge
No full textScopo del lavoro: L’obiettivo di questo lavoro è sottolineare l’importanza della relazione interdisciplinare tra le diverse branche dell’odontoiatria, in particolare tra l’ortodonzia, la protesi e l’implantologia. Inoltre gli autori presentano i vantaggi estetici e funzionali dell’applicazione del Maryland Bridge negli adolescenti.
Materiali e metodi: Nel caso clinico analizzato dagli autori è stato utilizzato il Maryland Bridge, tenendo presente che la giovane età del paziente non avrebbe consentito una risoluzione protesica definitiva e che, nell’utilizzo dello stesso, i denti contigui all’elemento mancante subiscono una scarsa perdita di smalto. Le altre caratteristiche di questa perdita sono: una metodica di realizzazione poco indaginosa ed una buona potenzialità estetica. Il paziente, a causa della perdita precoce dell’11, presentava la migrazione degli elementi dentari contigui al dente mancante. E’ stata quindi fondamentale l’interdisciplinarietà tra l’ortodontista e il protesista. Il primo intervento di tipo ortodontico preprotesico è stato finalizzato al recupero dello spazio perduto, per il quale l’ortodontista ha utilizzato un’apparecchiatura fissa multibande. In seguito il protesista ha potuto realizzare il manufatto protesico.
Conclusioni: Presupposto fondamentale per l’ottimizzazione dei risultati nei casi di agenesia o perdita di elementi dentari nei giovani pazienti, è la stretta collaborazione interdisciplinare tra ortodontista, protesista e implantologo. Dopo che l’ortodontista ha effettuato l’uprighting e la preparazione del dente mancante, la funzione del Maryland Bridge è stata quella di mantenitore di spazio, permettendo così la normale crescita dei processi ossei alveolari e, a fine cura, l’inserimento di un impianto singolo e quindi di una protesi definitiva su un impianto osteointegrato.Aim of the work. The purpose of this work is to underline the importance of interdisciplinary cooperation of different dental branches, in particularly orthodontics, prosthetics and implantology in the complex rehabilitation of young patients. Besides, the authors show the esthetic and functional advantages of using Maryland Bridge in teen-agers.
Materials and methods. The Maryland Bridge, a prosthesis with two metallic flanges, has several advantages and fields of application. In the case reported, the Maryland Bridge, avoing to the young age of the patient which did not permit a final prosthesis and an implant insertion, was considered as an interesting solution, because it can be applied on the adjoining teeth with very little loss of enamel. The Maryland Bridge presents several advantages such as: high functionality, preservation of the parts concerned, simplicity in the positioning and good aesthetic results.
Discussion. Many specialists are guilty of treating from a unidisciplinary point of view, that can lead to incomplete diagnostics, improper treatment planning, and compromised results. So to achieve optimal dentofacial results, the approach to patient care should be interdisciplinary.
Conclusions. Interdisciplinary collaboration between prosthetist and orthodontist was therefore of fundamental importance. The first step (preprosthetic orthodontics) was to regain the lost space using a fixed appliance: only then the prosthetics was able to fabricate Maryland Bridge. This kind of approach permits the synergism of each different discipline’s specialized expertise and skills, into the comprehensive protocol of treatment

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
