Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

350
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Multiple Regression

4.0K
Multiple regression assesses a linear relationship between one response or dependent variable and two or more independent variables. It has many practical applications.
Farmers can use multiple regression to determine the crop yield based on more than one factor, such as water availability, fertilizer, soil properties, etc. Here, the crop yield is the response or dependent variable as it depends on the other independent variables. The analysis requires the construction of a scatter plot...

Impression Management Techniques III: Aligning Actions

134
Aligning actions are communicative strategies individuals employ to maintain social harmony and preserve personal identity in the face of potential disruptions to social norms. These actions are particularly important in managing social impressions when one's behavior might be seen as inappropriate, incompetent, or morally questionable.Types of Aligning ActionsThe three principal types of aligning actions are disclaimers, accounts, and apologies.DisclaimersDisclaimers are preventive; they are...

Multiple Voltage Sources01:25

Multiple Voltage Sources

1.8K
Generally, a single battery is not enough to power some devices. In such cases, batteries can be combined in two ways: in series or in parallel.
In series, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of another battery. Hence, the voltage of each battery is added to give the net voltage, which is increased because each battery boosts the electrons that enter it. The same current flows through each battery because they are connected in series.
Batteries are...

Deformation of Member under Multiple Loadings01:11

Deformation of Member under Multiple Loadings

484
When a rod is made of different materials or has various cross-sections, it must be divided into parts that meet the necessary conditions for determining the deformation. These parts are each characterized by their internal force, cross-sectional area, length, and modulus of elasticity. These parameters are then used to compute the deformation of the entire rod.
In the case of a member with a variable cross-section, the strain is not constant but depends on the position. The deformation of an...

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Segmental Le Fort I osteotomy traditionally requires conventional braces for presurgical orthodontics.
  • Patient dissatisfaction with conventional braces, especially for retreatment cases, is common.
  • Clear aligners offer a less obtrusive alternative, but their use in complex orthognathic surgery is not widespread.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the feasibility of performing segmental double-jaw surgery using only clear aligners (Invisalign).
  • To present a series of cases utilizing this innovative approach.
  • To detail the technical steps and challenges involved in segmental double-jaw surgery with clear aligners.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on clear aligner therapy and orthognathic surgery.
  • Case series presentation of segmental double-jaw surgery performed with Invisalign.
  • Analysis of technical modifications and challenges encountered without traditional fixed appliances.

Main Results:

  • Segmental double-jaw surgery using Invisalign is feasible, despite challenges like the absence of bonded appliances and archwires.
  • The study reports on a series of successful cases, demonstrating the potential of this technique.
  • Key technical considerations for managing segmental movements and occlusal control with clear aligners were identified.

Conclusions:

  • Clear aligner therapy (Invisalign) can be a viable alternative for presurgical orthodontics in segmental double-jaw surgery.
  • This approach may enhance patient acceptance and compliance for orthognathic surgery.
  • Further research and case documentation are warranted to establish best practices for this progressive treatment modality.
