DEVELOPMENT OF ON-SITE 3D-PRINTED AND BIO-SUSTAINABLE ORTHODONTIC ALIGNERS.
… and widespread use of transparent orthodontic aligners. These are thin, sequential, removable plastic trays personalized for each patient, serving as an alternative to traditional fixed orthodontics characterized by brackets and wires made of metal or ceramic. These aligners, commonly referred …

Orthodontic Outcomes in Class II Correction with Elastics: Clear Aligners Versus Fixed Appliances
… facial, and skeletal changes between clear aligners and fixed appliances. Differences in treatment efficiency and outcome variations between growing versus non-growing patients were evaluated based on technique. Research Design and Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study involving 132 …

Premolar Extraction Cases Treated with Aligners: Are Contemporary Results Comparable to Fixed Appliances?
… to treat premolar extraction cases with aligners to the same occlusal standards as fixed appliances. The purpose of this study was to assess whether premolar extraction cases treated with Invisalign in the past 5 years have more comparable results to cases treated with fixed appliances. …

The immediate effects of aligners and aesthetic fixed appliances on smiling and perceptions in young adults
… in young adults, the immediate effect of clear aligners (CAs) and aesthetic fixed appliances (AFAs) on the magnitude of rest to natural and rest to maximal smile • To evaluate, in young adults, the immediate effect of CAs and AFAs on intra-session reproducibility of rest to natural and rest to …

Evaluación de la precisión en la predictibilidad del movimiento de expansión con alineadores
… cuatro marcas de alineadores diferentes: Angel Aligners®, Invisalign®, Spark® y HeySmile®. Se obtuvieron los modelos digitales en tres fases: STL inicial, STL final (antes del primer refinamiento) y set-up inicial. Se midieron los anchos de arcada de cúspide a cúspide entre caninos, premolares y …

Efficient parallelization of Bowtie 2 with OpenCL on GPU
… and developers. Among all the sequence aligners, Bowtie 2 is one of the most commonly used, due to its high speed and accuracy. This thesis presents a parallel implementation of Bowtie 2 with OpenCL, which is a parallel programming model that is becoming widely known and receiving great …

Tiger: tiled iterative genome assembler and approximate multi-genome aligner
… of genomes makes existing multi-sequence aligners impractical to check similarities among genomes with different characteristics in terms of evolutionary relationship and sequence completeness. Current pairwise sequence aligners cannot cope with them without big revisions because of the …

Integrated multiple sequence alignment
… shares attributes of both, local and global aligners, in the quality of results as well as in the computation time. We further modify the local alignment step to work on bipartite (or even multipartite) sets for sequences where repeats overshadow valuable sequence information. In the end a …

Improving Clear Aligner Outcomes Using AI and Remote Dental Monitoring: Results from a Clinical Trial
… application between patients treated with clear aligners and those treated with fixed appliances. Descriptive statistics and Shapiro-Wilk tests were used to assess distributions, and paired t-tests evaluated changes over time. At baseline, all three groups demonstrated comparable malocclusion …

Knowledge of Dental Students with Respect to Orthodontic Diagnosis and Clear Aligner Therapy
… Confidence to treat patients with clear aligners had no bearing on aligner knowledge and orthodontic knowledge. There was no correlation found between aligner knowledge and orthodontic knowledge.

Digital Technology and Digital Workflow Application in the Current Landscape of Private Practice Orthodontics
… treat greater than 30% of their cases with clear aligners. Opinion questions revealed that cost and work/time required were the two factors mentioned most often when orthodontists were asked about their views concerning digital workflow use in orthodontics. Overall, results of this study suggest …

Computational Discovery of Bacterial Fibrillar Adhesins and Adhesive Domains
… Here, the TMalign and Foldseek structure aligners were compared, with Foldseek showing a higher concordance with the sequence-based discovery approaches. Integrating structure features in the ML-based discovery approach improved its precision when testing it on three bacterial proteomes. …

Clear aligner attachment removal techniques – an in vitro comparison of removal time residual composite, enamel surface characteristics, enamel loss, and material cost
… clear aligner therapy (CAT), utilizes clear aligners (CA’s) to generate orthodontic tooth movement in adolescent and adult patients.5 As an esthetic alternative to brackets, CAT utilizes tooth-colored composite resin attachments on the facial surfaces of the patient’s teeth to aid in robust …
