introduction: complete knowledge of root canal curvature is a critical factor in successful dental treatment .the aim of this study was to investigate the direction, radius and degree of curvature of maxillary anterior teeth and the relation between radius and degree of curvature in babol city. methods &materials;: this study was performed on 242 anterior teeth radiographs were taken by periapi...

The index of a metric plays significant roles in differential geometry as it generates variety of vector fields such as space-like, time-like, and light-like fileds. With the help of these vector fields, we establish interesting properties on ( )-Sasakian manifolds, which was introduced by Bejancu and Duggal [1] and further investigated by Xufeng and Xiaoli [2]. Since Sasakian manifolds with in...

Hardness is a measure of the resistance of a material to be penetrated and eroded by sharp projections of other materials such as diamond. The process of creating sharp projections on any test surface is known as indentation. Hardness measurement of any material is the result of a complex process of deformation during indentation. The indenter tip geometry, which includes radius of curvature at...

PURPOSE Clinically evaluate a modified applanating surface Goldmann tonometer prism designed to substantially negate errors due to patient variability in biomechanics. METHODS A modified Goldmann prism with a correcting applanation tonometry surface (CATS) was mathematically optimized to minimize the intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement error due to patient variability in corneal thickness,...

Objective To evaluate the reproducibility of in vivo crystalline lens measurements obtained by novel commercially available swept-source (SS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) specifically designed for anterior segment imaging. Methods and analysis One eye from each of 30 healthy subjects was randomly selected using the CASIA2 (Tomey, Nagoya, Japan) in two separate visits within a week. Each...
