Age is one of the essential factors in establishing the identity of the person. It plays an important role in forensic medicine, clinical dentistry and archaeology. Age estimation is crucial in medico legal cases and importance in forensic medicine not only for identifying deceased victims but also in connection with crimes and accidents. Age estimation of unknown human bodies is very important in the setting of a crime investigation as well as mass disaster. In addition chronological age is important in most societies for school attendance, employment, social benefits and marriage. In...

Myofunktionelle Geräte übertragen, eliminieren oder leiten die natürlichen Kräfte der Muskulatur. Sie werden für Wachstumsmodifikationsverfahren eingesetzt, die darauf abzielen, Kieferdiskrepanzen abzufangen und zu behandeln. Diese Apparaturen werden sowohl im Milchgebiss als auch im Wechselgebiss eingesetzt, bis die Wachstumsschübe des Kindes abgeschlossen sind. Da bereits in jungen Jahren damit begonnen wird, können psychische Störungen, die mit einer Malokklusion einhergehen, vermieden werden. Es fällt weniger Zeit am Behandlungsstuhl an, da diese Geräte größtenteils im Labor...

Les appareils myofonctionnels transmettent, éliminent ou guident les forces naturelles de la musculature. Ils sont utilisés pour les procédures de modification de la croissance visant à intercepter et à traiter les anomalies de la mâchoire. Ces appareils sont administrés en denture caduque ainsi qu'en denture mixte jusqu'à ce que les poussées de croissance de l'enfant soient terminées. Comme elle est débutée dès le plus jeune âge, les troubles psychologiques liés à une malocclusion peuvent être évités. On passe moins de temps au fauteuil car ces appareils sont pour la...

Nanotechnology, the engineering of materials at the molecular scale (one-billionth of a meter), has revolutionized science and technology. Derived from the Greek word "Nannos" meaning dwarf, nanotechnology allows us to manipulate and understand the molecular structure of materials. In dentistry, this has led to the development of dental nanorobotics, a highly promising field that utilizes nanomaterials for enhanced diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of oral diseases. Nanotechnology's unique properties, influenced by the "quantum effect," enable a deeper interaction with biomolecules, making...

Sugar, a simple carbohydrate, provides a rapid energy boost but is linked to health issues like obesity, diabetes, and dental caries. Sucrose, in particular, promotes tooth decay by fostering plaque buildup and acid production by bacteria. Sugar substitutes, both artificial (e.g., aspartame) and natural (e.g., stevia), offer sweetening alternatives with fewer calories, reducing the risk of cavities and weight gain. Sugar alcohols like xylitol also provide sweetness with lower calorie content and reduced dental risks. However, excessive consumption of sugar alcohols can cause digestive issues....
