Article Abstract
Clear aligners are employed daily for the treatment of several malocclusions. Previous clinical studies indicated low accuracy for the correction of tooth rotations. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictability of tooth rotations with clear aligners. The sample comprised 390 teeth (190 mandibular; 200 maxillary), measured from the virtual models of 45 participants (21 men, 24 women; mean age: 29.2 ± 6.6 years old). For each patient, pre-treatment (T0) digital dental models (STL files), virtual plan (T1) and post-treatment digital dental models (T2) of both the mandibular and maxillary arches were imported onto Geomagic Control X, a 3D metrology software which allows angular measurements. Rotations were calculated by defining reproducible vectors for all teeth in each STL file and superimposing both T0 with T1 to determine the prescribed rotation, and T0 with T2 to determine the achieved rotation. Prescribed and achieved rotations were compared to assess movement's accuracy. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test and paired t-test were used to assess differences between the prescribed and achieved movements (P < 0.05). The overall predictability of rotational movement was 78.6% for the mandibular arch and 75.0% for the maxillary arch. Second molar accuracy was the lowest in both arches. Clear aligners were not able to achieve 100% of the planned movements.

Objective: To develop a technique for 3D analysis of the upper part of the cervical spine, to study possible correlations with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) parameters in patients with signs of its dysfunction.
Material And Methods: The data from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the heads of 92 patients who sought treatment for TMJ dysfunction (49 people), comprehensive dental treatment (28 people), and orthognathic surgical treatment (15 people) were analyzed. Patients with signs of TMJ dysfunction were divided into 2 subgroups: 1 - patients with asymmetric narrowing of the articular gap (24 people); 2 - patients with symmetrical narrowing (25 people).

Several techniques have been proposed to deal with gingival recession and gain positive effectiveness and clinically acceptable results. Nevertheless, most require a two-stage surgical procedure with several drawbacks. The present clinical report describes the treatment procedure and clinical outcomes of a modified rotated flap technique incorporating a double-component releasing incision and one-sided tunnel approach for the management of gingival recession.

This article presents the wear characteristics of the working surface of WC-Co (Tungsten Carbide-Cobalt) tungsten carbide tools obtained using the innovative U-FAST (Upgraded Field-Assisted Sintering Technology) method for particleboard machining. Three groups of tools with a similar chemical composition but differing WC (Tungsten Carbide) grain sizes were tested. Milling tests were carried out on a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tool with the following cutting parameters: spindle rotation at 15,000 rpm, a feed rate of 0.

Background: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of different placements of vertical rectangular and bevelled vertical rectangular attachments on the correction of rotated premolars with clear aligners using finite element analysis.
Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model was constructed that included mandibular teeth, periodontal ligament structures and attachments. Rotational correction without attachments were compared to rotational control with two different attachments.
