background and aims: to obtain maximum advantages from orthodontic fixed appliances and to achieve the desired final occlusion, correct bracket positioning is highly necessary. in order to measure and determine bracket’s height, diverse gauges have been used. the objective of the present study is to determine and compare bracket positioning accuracy by using height bracket positioning gauge (hb...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Diverse gauges have been used to measure and determine bracket height for correct bracket positioning. The aim of the present study was to determine and compare bracket positioning accuracy by using height bracket positioning gauge (HBPG) and Boone gauge (BG). MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen sets of stone models were prepared from one patient. One set was employed to de-ter...

Orthodontists have used a variety of hand-held dental instruments to position the brackets for direct bonding. A number of instruments, including the Boone and Dougherty gauges, have been used for accurate positioning of brackets in direct bonding. Although position adjustments can be made with such an instrument, the bracket can easily slip when the instrument is removed. Indirect bonding may ...

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the structure of the Iranian banking system and to measure the market power factor based on the Boone approach. In this paper, we investigated the Iranian organized money market, including 18 banks operating in the period of 2008-2015. To calculate the marginal cost (MC), we used a Translog Stochastic Frontier Cost Function. Findings based on the ...

There are now several sources of evidence for neutrino oscillations. There is evidence from solar neutrino experiments, which observe fewer electron neutrinos than would be consistent with the sun’s energy output [1]. In addition, the recent SNO results indicate that there is a nonelectron flavor active neutrino component in the solar flux [2,3]. Evidence also comes from experiments studying ne...

To improve the accuracy of bracket placement in vivo, a protocol and device were introduced, which consisted operative procedures for accurate control, computer-aided design, an augmented reality–assisted navigation system. The present study evaluated this protocol. Methods: Thirty-one incisor teeth tested from four participators. bonded by novice expert orthodontists. Compared with control gro...
