Dental X-Ray Image Analysis by Using Image Processing Techniques Qno.1. Identify the tools and technologies used in the paper. Elaborate or give details of all the tools used in the paper. In this paper author focused on to detect dental Caries.
Dental trial have been extensively used in identifying the sufferers of massive disasters, such as the 9/11 bombing and the Asian tsunami. the significance of using dental records for human identification is now well predictable. Dental Biometric issues dental radiographs to identify victims in situations (e.g., fire victims) where conservative biometric features, i.e., face, fingerprint, and iris, are not available. Dental Photograph Dental photograph is a symbolic examination of teeth structure and its appearance; it gives virtual position of neighboring teeth and shapes of dental work.
Computer Aided Dental X-Rays Analysis Using Automatic Gaussian Fitting Energy And Level Sets Anupama Bhan, Malay Kishore Dutta, Pulkit Pandey Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering Amity University, Noida, India Abstract--Identification of the Root canal length is a major concern in the dentistry worldwide, which currently seeks the manual calculation in order to detect the measurement of the teeth. This method presents an algorithm for fast and automatic measurement of the teeth prior to root canal therapy and molar endodontics. Intensity inhomogeneity often is a major problem in dental x-rays which causes considerable difficulties in segmentation. This method provides a combinational approach of Local Gaussian Distribution
Braces were not invented until the 1800s, but having the idea straight teeth dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Archaeologists have found the mummified remains in and around Egypt, with what seems like an attempt to close gaps between teeth. The remains have a cord prepared from a catgut, or animal intestines, wrapped or run along teeth almost like todays orthodontist run wire along the teeth to close the gaps. The American Association of Orthodontists has found tools from the Greeks and Etruscans, which means orthodontic practices started as early as 1000 B.C. Archeologists found out that the way the Etruscans buried their people included the placement of a device similar to a mouth guard in the dead person’s mouth. The device helped keep
There are many different career paths and so many jobs for people to choose. Different people are made special for different jobs. I however have chosen to become a Dental Hygienist. I feel this career is the best choice for me. I think good dental hygiene is very important and I take pride in keeping my teeth clean and healthy.
When endoscopic septoplasty is performed in conjunction with ESS, little additional instrumentation is required. Topical epinephrine, oxymetazoline, or cocaine are used to decongest the nasal mucosa before the procedure. Endoscope is used to examine the nasal cavity. If ESS is planned, the position of the septum to the middle turbinates is noted. The middle turbinate attaches anteriorly to axilla of the middle turbinate and superiorly to the lateral nasal wall.
INTRODUCTION Microleakage has been a key issue in the field of operative dentistry1, but it is not long since it has drawn the attention of orthodontists. From the orthodontic point of view, microleakage is an important factor in the development of two iatrogenic lesions particularly at the adhesive - enamel interface: white spot lesions and decalcification. The presence of fixed orthodontic appliances impedes oral hygiene and facilitates plaque accumulation. This in turn increases the bacterial counts in the plaque around the attachments and the production of organic acids2. In the presence of a low pH in the oral environment, the calcium and phosphate ions diffuse out of enamel resulting in demineralization and white spot lesions3.
Dentistry has much to offer law enforcement in the detection and solution of crime or in civil proceedings. Forensic dental fieldwork requires an interdisciplinary knowledge of dental science. Most often the role of the forensic odontologist is to establish a person 's identity. Teeth, with their physiologic variations, pathoses and effects of therapy, record information that remains throughout life and beyond. Dental professionals have a major role to play in keeping accurate dental records and providing all necessary information so that legal authorities may recognize malpractice, negligence, fraud or abuse, and identify unknown humans, through post-mortem and ante-mortem comparison of records.83,84,85 As estimation of age in the adult human
Today dentistry is considered specialized field that takes years of education, practice, and certifications to practice and perform a service for a community. This was not always the case in the past. Even though teeth were being studied since ancient Egyptian times it wasn’t until the 18th century that dentistry was considered a real science. For thousands of years people who worked on teeth were considered physicians as they dealt with body related problems. In this paper we will touch on the major turning points that lead to what modern dentistry is today.
Maintenance of positive and self-confident personality is mainly achieved by human sound teeth. Our teeth are important in several things some of which are speech as teeth helps in pronunciation of many letters for example letter (s),masticatory function as grinding by molars, and incising by anterior incisors besides teeth are also important in esthetics as they are very important in appearance and loss of teeth can make so many psychological disturbances. The system of mastication can obviously perform more than one function in addition to eating , for instance, talking ,smiling ,yawning by the aid of the muscles of mastication which are temporalis muscle, medial pterygoid ,lateral; pterygoid and masseter muscle .Each of them has its own
