Abstract:
To evaluate and compare the accuracy of bracket placement in three bracket transfer media techniques for indirect bonding. A total of 300 brackets were bonded on dental casts by indirect bonding techniques using three different bracket transfer media. The bracket positions were simulated by digital software. In the first two methods, digital models were designed with two types of markers, one with fully mocked up bracket (container method), and another with only marked bracket margins (marker method), then the models were printed out by a three-dimensional (3D) printer using pink resin and bra

Abstract:
Objectives To assess the transfer accuracy of three-dimensional (3D) printed transfer trays and compare them with transfer trays made up of polyvinyl siloxane (PVS) for use in indirect bonding. Design: This was a two-arm parallel prospective randomised controlled trial. Setting: The trial was undertaken at the outpatient department of a dental college. Participants: A total of 30 patients (18 men, 12 women) were randomly allocated to two groups. Methods: The inclusion criteria included patients with permanent and fully erupted dentition (age range = 17–24 years), Angles class I malocclusion wi

Abstract:
Recent research on exoskeletons and braces has examined the ways of improving flexibility, wearability or overall weight-reduction. Part of the challenge arises from the significant loading requirements, while the other part comes from the inflexibilities associated with traditional (rigid link-moving joint) system architectures. Compliant mechanisms offer a class of articulated multibody systems that allow creation of lightweight yet adjustable-stiffness solutions for exoskeletons and braces, which we study further. In particular, we will introduce the parallel coupled compliant plate (PCCP)

Abstract:
Abstract Background Weakness of ankle and knee musculature following injury or disorder results in reduced joint motion associated with metabolically expensive gait compensations to enable limb support and advancement. However, neuromechanical coupling between the ankle and knee make it difficult to discern independent roles of these restrictions in joint motion on compensatory mechanics and metabolic penalties. Methods We sought to determine relative impacts of ankle and knee impairment on compensatory gait strategies and energetic outcomes using an unimpaired cohort (N = 15) with imposed uni
