background: hadron therapy for malignant tumor is becoming increasingly popular. there are many factors which effect on implementation of a proper treatment planning. the purpose of this work is to investigate the inhomogeneity effects as affecting factor on proton range, full width at half maximum (fwhm) and 20% position of penumbra (p20) by mcnpx code. materials and methods: an inhomogeneous ...

Purpose To perform a comparative analysis of the palatal bone thickness in Thai patients exhibiting class I malocclusion according to whether they exhibited a normal or open vertical skeletal configuration using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods Thirty CBCT images of Thai orthodontic patients (15-30 years of age) exhibiting class I malocclusion with a normal or open ...

INTRODUCTION The thickness of cortical bone is an important factor in mini-implant stability. In this study, we investigated the buccal cortical bone thickness of every interdental area as an aid in planning mini-implant placement. METHODS From the cone-beam computed tomography scans of 30 dry skulls, 2-dimensional slices through every interdental area were generated. On these, cortical bone ...

background: accurate measurement of the height and buccolingual thickness of available bone has a significant role in dental implantology. the shadow of ramus on the mandibular second molar region disturbs the sharpness of conventional tomographic images. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of transferring the shadow of ramus from the center of the focal plane, by changing the posi...

Introduction: The low regeneration of bone in defective bones causes therapeutic problems. Various strategies to assess the healing of bone defects have been used which they include histological and histo-chemical analysis in an invasive study. The purpose of this study was to determine the ultrasonic parameters of bone as a promising noninvasive technology for assessing bone repair process. Ma...

OBJECTIVE Bone-anchored hearing aid has been shown to be effective in hearing rehabilitation for conductive loss or single-sided deafness. Current FDA guidelines allow implantation in patients over 5 years old. This guideline is at least partially due to concern for thickness of bone stock at the implant site. We aim to investigate whether temporal bone thickness should be a deterrent to implan...

Using finite element method (FEM), this study sought to investigate how the thickness and Young's modulus of cortical bone influenced stress distribution in bone surrounding a dental implant. The finite element implant-bone model consisted of a titanium abutment, a titanium fixture, a gold alloy retaining screw, cancellous bone, and cortical bone. The results showed that von Mises equivalent st...
