The aim of this study was to evaluate the fit between dental abutments and the metal framework of a 3-unit fixed prosthesis screwed to two implants to determine whether sectioning and soldering of the framework are in fact necessary procedures. The study was based on a model of a metal framework of a 3-unit prosthesis screwed to two implants. A total of 18 metal frameworks were constructed and ...

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to measure distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation and displacement associated with sequential sectioning the different bands interosseous membrane triangular fibrocartilage complex in simulation a Galeazzi fracture dislocation.MethodsTwelve fresh-frozen cadaver forearms were dissected. We examined anatomy function forearm membrane. Each then mounted onto...

Stereoscopic surface models of human organs can be manipulated in real time. This is a significant feature of an interactive simulation system used for clinical practice. Objective surface models are obtainable from the accumulation of each structure's serial outlines, followed by surface reconstruction. The segmented images including the outlines can be divided into outlined images, white-fill...

This paper proposes an algorithm that provides operational strategies for multiple tethered autonomous underwater vehicle (T-AUV) systems entanglement-free navigation. T-AUVs can perform tasks under reliable communication and power supply, which is the most substantial benefit of their operation. Thus, if one overcome entanglement issues while utilizing vehicles, potential applications system i...
