Optimizing Gingival Esthetics: A Microscopic Perspective

However our efforts for an ideal restorative outcome will fall short if we are distracted from the larger picture to focus on teeth and somewhat neglect the importance of gingival health and contour. The goal of modern esthetic dentistry is to achieve both “white” and “pink” esthetics.1 “White esthetics” refers to natural dentition or tooth colored restorations. “Pink Esthetics” refers to the s...

Spatiotemporal chaos: the microscopic perspective.

Extended nonequilibrium systems can be studied in the framework of field theory or from the dynamical systems perspective. Here we report numerical evidence that the sum of a well-defined number of instantaneous Lyapunov exponents for the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is given by a simple function of the space average of the square of the macroscopic field. This relationship follows from an ...

A Mesoscopic – Microscopic Perspective on Ion Channel Permeation Energetics : The Semi - Microscopic Approach 1

Understanding how physiological ion channels simultaneously exhibit the apparently contradictory properties of high throughput and great discrimination is a long-standing theoretical problem. These nanodevices all operate on the same basic principle: ions, solvated by bulk water, lose a significant part of their hydration shell as they pass through a constriction where a chemical selection proc...

Density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy: a microscopic perspective

We perform a systematic analysis of the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy within the microscopic Brueckner–Hartree–Fock (BHF) approach using the realistic Argonne V18 nucleon-nucleon potential plus a phenomenological three body force of Urbana type. Our results are compared thoroughly to those arising from several Skyrme and relativistic effective models. The values of the param...
