context periodontal plastic surgery can help people improve their lives by addressing aesthetic parameters of their smile. much of what comprises a beautiful and appealing smile is influenced by emotion and personality; however, many structural elements of a smile can be improved through surgical intervention. evidence acquisition the end result often lends significant support to people who wis...

SHP (small heterodimer partner) is a well-known NR (nuclear receptor) co-regulator. In the present study, we have identified a new SHP-interacting protein, termed SMILE (SHP-interacting leucine zipper protein), which was previously designated as ZF (Zhangfei) via a yeast two-hybrid system. We have determined that the SMILE gene generates two isoforms [SMILE-L (long isoform of SMILE) and SMILE-S...

Class III malocclusion is one of the most common deformities that requires correction through orthodontic-surgical treatment. These patients present different facial patterns depending on the occlusal plane angulation. These patients may benefit from surgical manipulation of the occlusal plane, because only bite correction does not always lead to the improvement of the facial deformity. The pur...

background:   materials and methods:   determine possible significances in the relation of smile line to angle occlusion class, overbite and overjet and arch form. a p   results:   conclusion:   and important relation between some occlusal parameters and smile design, which must be considered. within the limitations of such studies, it might be concluded that there is a significant chi-square t...

We consider the convexity correction in a multi-factor SABR type stochastic volatility model, in which the volatility and the short-term forward rate are modeled as independent factors. In general, the convexity correction is not analytically tractable in a multi-factor model, but based on the assumption of linear swap rates an analytic solution is available. Linear swap rate models are popular...

The MERIS standard algorithm for detection of clouds is serving various purposes and therefore a compromise of various requirements. The detection of thin clouds and ice haze for ocean colour applications needs to be improved significantly. We present a method similar to the 'Novelty Detection' (DOI 10.1007/s10661-006-9538-5) but analysing all 15 bands between 412nm and 900nm, calculating the t...

Single-phase treatment started during late mixed dentition using functional followed by fixed appliance therapy has proven to be the most effective approach to achieve correction of Class II malocclusion. This case report demonstrates the use of this treatment approach in an 11-year-old girl with skeletal and dental Class II malocclusion, large overjet, deep overbite, increased incisor exposure...

Aims: To assess the influence of profession, treatment experience, age and gender on the perception of smile aesthetics with different buccal corridors and smile arcs, and to identify the threshold where buccal corridor space becomes aesthetically displeasing. Study Design: A questionnaire-based descriptive study on the assessment of attractiveness ratings by laypeople. Place and Duration of St...

OBJECTIVES The study assessed the impact of facial height on attractiveness of smile, in association with the maxillary gingival display. This research was performed by dental professionals and laypersons. MATERIALS AND METHODS Frontal extraoral photographs were captured for both short and long faces. The photographs were modified using software for image-processing and three rater groups (or...

The aim of this report is to enlighten the fact that by simple correcting with surgical approach, smile can be enhanced. With chief complaint of spacing in the upper front tooth region, thorough history taking, clinical examination and radiographic evaluation, among various options, the excision of the frenal attachment was planned. Astonishing results with simple surgical correction was proved...
