Biquandle brackets are a type of quantum enhancement the biquandle counting invariant for oriented knots and links, defined by set skein relations with coefficients which functions colors at crossing. In this paper, we use to enhance matrix first two authors in (N. Gügümcü S. Nelson, coloring invariants knotoids, J. Knot Theory Ramif. 28(4) (2019) 1950029). We provide examples illustrate method...

abstract background: the aim of this study is to evaluate the dimensional accuracy of mbt (mclaughlin, bennett and trevisi ) brackets manufactured by two different companies (american orthodontics and ortho organizers) and determine variations in incorporation of values in relation to tip and torque in these products. methods: in the present analytical/descriptive study, sixty-four maxillary ri...

Braces are used by orthodontists to correct the misalignment of teeth in the mouth. Archwire rotation is a particular procedure used to correct tooth inclination. Wire rotation can result in deformation to the orthodontic brackets, and an orthodontic torque simulator has been designed to examine this wire-bracket interaction. An optical technique has been employed to measure the deformation due...

The existing constructions of derived Lie and sh-Lie brackets involve multilinear maps that are used to define higher order differential operators. In this paper, we prove the equivalence of three different definitions of higher order operators. We then introduce a unifying theme for building derived brackets and show that two prevalent derived Lie bracket constructions are equivalent. Two basi...

background: reduced time and appropriate bond strength of brackets is one of the most important aspects of orthodontic treatments. prolonged halogen light curing for bonding of brackets is undesirable, so the purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength of brackets bonded with halogen light and plasma arc system. materials and mehods: this was an experimental in vitro study. a t...

the aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (sbs) of resin modified glass ionomer (rmgi) and composite resin for bonding metal and ceramic brackets.eighty-eight human premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes were divided into 4 groups (n=22). in groups 1 and 2, 22 metal and ceramic brackets were bonded using composite resin (transbond xt), respectively. twenty-two metal and...

Orthodontic brackets contribute to the accumulation of bacterial plaque on tooth surfaces because they hinder oral hygiene. In contrast to conventional brackets, self-ligating brackets do not require additional parts to support the arches, thus improving dental hygiene. The aim of this study was to compare the gingival response in orthodontic patients wearing self-ligating or conventional brack...

Ceramic brackets have gained widespread acceptance in orthodontic treatment due to their superior aesthetic appeal. The immediate popularity of these brackets, after their initial marketing, was tempered by their potential to damage the enamel during debonding. This paper describes the design and development of a ceramic bracket that addresses the failings of most ceramic brackets on the market...

The aim of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, frictional forces produced by ceramic brackets and arch wires of different alloys. Frictional tests were performed on three ceramic brackets: monocrystalline (Inspire ICE), polycrystalline (InVu), polycrystalline with metal slot (Clarity), and one stainless steel bracket (Dyna-Lock). Thirty brackets of each were tested, all with .022' slots, in c...

The dynamics of topological open branes is controlled by Nambu Brackets. Thus, they might be quantized through the consistent quantization of the underlying Nambu brackets, including odd ones: these are reachable systematically from even brackets, whose more tractable properties have been detailed before. The classical motion of topological open membranes is controlled by Nambu Brackets, the mu...
