BACKGROUND The thermal burn is accidental and also is the hidden and worst complication of medical plaster application. This study evaluated clinical and aetiological profile and severity of plaster burns. METHODS In Department of Burns, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery from 1st August 2014 to 31st December 2015, six patients with plaster burn were assessed for total body surface area and ...

BACKGROUND Model surgery is an integral part of the planning procedure in orthognathic surgery. Most concepts comprise cutting the dental cast off its socket. The standardized spacer plates of the KD-MMS provide for a non-destructive, reversible and reproducible means of maxillary and/or mandibular plaster cast separation. METHODS In the course of development of the system various articulator...

Pressure on the sole of the foot inside three different types of plaster cast, used in treatment of fracture of the lower leg, was measured on six normal persons. No significant difference was found between these pressures in below-knee plaster, full length plaster including the thigh and patellar-tendon-bearing plaster. Only occasionally a relief in pressure was found in patellar-tendon-bearin...

Fundamental principle in improving Dental and Orthodontic treatments is the ability to quantitatively assess cross-compare their outcomes. Such assessments require calculating distances angles from 3D coordinates of dental landmarks. The costly repetitive task hand-labelling models hinder studies requiring large sample size penetrate statistical noise. We have developed techniques a software im...

The habitual intercuspation is used ubiquitous for manufacturing small dental restorations. However, a little is known on its precision. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the unambiguity and accuracy of the habitual occlusion in mounted plaster casts from fully dentate persons. Eighty-one fully dentate volunteers, 36 women and 45 men aged 26.8 +/- 6.2 years (18-55 years)...

Abstract Digital dental models are widely used compared to impressions or plaster-dental for occlusal analysis as well fabrication of prosthodontic and orthodontic appliances. The digital model has been considered one the significant measures occlusion. However, process requires more computation time with less accuracy during re-establishment In this research, a modern method re-establish occlu...

The aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether a virtually created occlusion is as accurate conventionally occlusion. Seventeen orthognathic patients were included in the study, which conducted university clinic. Plaster cast models obtained and digitized. Two experienced observers conventional (gold standard) virtual assess inter-observer variability. One observer second time int...

AIM This in vitro study compares a new system for manual chair side fabrication of indirect composite restorations, which uses silicone models after alginate impressions, to CAD/CAM-technology and laboratory manual production techniques. MATRIALS AND METHODS: and study design Each 10 composite inlays were fabricated using different types of production techniques: CAD/CAM- technology (A), the ne...
