full mouth rehabilitation in patients with ectodermal dysplasia (ed) is difficult to manage, especially because the afflicted individuals are quite young when they are evaluated for treatment; therefore, esthetics is an important concern. this clinical report describes the rehabilitation of a 19-year-old girl diagnosed with ectodermal dysplasia. eleven implants were placed in the maxilla and ma...

Recommended by Alberto Cabada Criteria are established for existence of least one or three positive solutions for boundary value problems of second-order functional dynamic equations on time scales. By this purpose, we use a fixed-point index theorem in cones and Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem.

PURPOSE Radiotherapy of the neck is known to cause carotid artery stenosis. We compared the carotid artery dose received between volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) and conventional fixed-field intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) plans in patients with early glottic cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one early glottic cancer patients who previously underwent definitive radiotherapy ...

The aim of this article is to develop new second-order fixed-time sliding mode controllers able tackle mismatched disturbances. Contrary what done in the literature, proposed sliding-mode control strategy does not use disturbance observers because surface possesses robustness properties. results are applied define a differentiator.
