To study the effect of a disc creep on the cauda-equina occlusion, 3D-viscoelastic FE model including dura mater was developed. The model was analyzed according to various loading conditions and studied the contact between cauda-equina and nearby elements with time. With this contact the volume of the cauda-equina was changed. The contact and change of the volume were happened most highly in extension with time. By this result, it was concluded that the extension is the most fatal motion to cauda-equina in lumbar spine in all time region.

Visual tracking is a challenging task that needs learning an effective model to handle the changes of target appearance caused by factors such as pose variation, illumination change, occlusion and motion blur. In this paper, a novel tracking algorithm based on weighted local sub-space reconstruction error is presented. First, accounting for the appearance changes in the tracking process, a generative weight calculation method based on structural reconstruction error is proposed. Furthermore, a template update scheme of occlusion-aware is introduced, in which we reconstruct a new template instead of simply exploiting the best observation for template update. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm are verified by comparing it with some state-of-the-art algorithms quantitatively and qualitatively.

The collapse of the posterior occlusion destroys the normal occlusal plane and causes excessive wear reducing the vertical dimension. Reduced vertical dimension of occlusion causes not only aesthetic and functional problems but also overloading on the temporomandibular joints and abnormalities of muscle nerve system. In order to improve the collapsed occlusal relationship, it is necessary to consider the change of the vertical dimension. It is necessary to make a precise diagnosis and analysis before the treatment and to evaluate the adaption of patient to the new vertical dimension of occlusion. A patient with excessive overbite often has occlusal problems of tooth wear and tooth eruption. Considering these considerations, overall prosthodontic restoration is required to solve the problem. A patient of 68 year old man in this case who suffered major tooth wear and maxillary posterior teeth loss was treated with elevation of vertical dimension of occlusion by maxillary removable dental prosthesis and mandibular fixed prosthesis.

In this study, a minimum amount of the vertical occlusion was secured differently in each type of mandibular advance devices snoring and Class I malocclusion patients wore these devices. This study analyzes, after the use of devices, a different amount of the vertical occlusion results in a change of the area of upper airway by additional changes such as mandibular position, muscle changes, tongue position. The higher the vertical amount, the area of the upper airway was shown smaller, And if the patient's tongues was prevented from the distal movement, the area of the upper airway had increased, To reduce snoring, doctors should accurately diagnose patients' occlusal relationships and select a MAD snoring that is appropriate for the occlusion. The dental technician who builds the selected device should also consider design settings such as the amount of vertical occlusion, the finish lines, and the thickness of the device to increase the effectiveness of the device.

Automated face recognition in a runtime environment is gaining more and more important in the fields of surveillance and urban security. This is a difficult task keeping in mind the constantly volatile image landscape with varying features and attributes. For a system to be beneficial in industrial settings, it is pertinent that its efficiency isn't compromised when running on roads, intersections, and busy streets. However, recognition in such uncontrolled circumstances is a major problem in real-life applications. In this paper, the main problem of face recognition in which full face is not visible (Occlusion). This is a common occurrence as any person can change his features by wearing a scarf, sunglass or by merely growing a mustache or beard. Such types of discrepancies in facial appearance are frequently stumbled upon in an uncontrolled circumstance and possibly will be a reason to the security systems which are based upon face recognition. These types of variations are very common in a real-life environment. It has been analyzed that it has been studied less in literature but now researchers have a major focus on this type of variation. Existing state-of-the-art techniques suffer from several limitations. Most significant amongst them are low level of usability and poor response time in case of any calamity. In this paper, an improved face recognition system is developed to solve the problem of occlusion known as FRS-OCC. To build the FRS-OCC system, the color and texture features are used and then an incremental learning algorithm (Learn++) to select more informative features. Afterward, the trained stack-based autoencoder (SAE) deep learning algorithm is used to recognize a human face. Overall, the FRS-OCC system is used to introduce such algorithms which enhance the response time to guarantee a benchmark quality of service in any situation. To test and evaluate the performance of the proposed FRS-OCC system, the AR face dataset is utilized. On average, the FRS-OCC system is outperformed and achieved SE of 98.82%, SP of 98.49%, AC of 98.76% and AUC of 0.9995 compared to other state-of-the-art methods. The obtained results indicate that the FRS-OCC system can be used in any surveillance application.

This study was aimed to evaluate the changes in condylar position when severe anterior open bite patients were treated with MEAW. The subjects consisted of 11 patients(21 TMJs) who visited the departement of orthodontics in SNUH, having severe anterior open bite as a chief complain. They were supposed to wear the up and down elastics and MEAW after finishing the leveling. The condylar position was evaluated with individualized corrected tomography in centric occlusion taken before and after treatment. The results were as follows; 1. In the change of condylar position after treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in right and left TMJs. 2. In the change of condylar position after treatment, there were no statistically significant differences in each malocclusion groups. 3. There were no statistically significant differences in percent dispacement of condyle between before and after treatment 4. There were no statistically significant differences in the amount of change in condylar change.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the compensatory changes of occlusal plane angle in relation to skeletal factors. Lateral cephalograms of 61 adults with normal occlusion and 92 adults with skeletal malocclusions were traced and measured to analyze skeletal factors and occlusal plane angles. In terms of horizontal relationships, the normal occlusion group and malocclusion group were classified Into subgroups of skeletal Classes I, II, and III, while in terms of vertical relationships, each group was also classified into horizontal , average, and vertical subgroups. Some measurements were evaluated statistically by ANOVA and Post Hoc, and the others were reviewed by Paired t-tests. In this study, only the occlusal plane angle to AB plane did not show a significant difference between the normal occlusion group and malocclusion group. After treatment, the occlusal plane angle to the AB plane of the malocclusion group was approximated to that of normal occlusion group. The LOP to AB plane angle of the normal occlusion group was 91.7 in skeletal Class I, 88.8 in skeletal Class II, and 93.5 in skeletal Class III. This study was done to assess the treatment changes of the occlusal plane in the malocclusion group, and to draw a comparison with the normal occlusion group in order to present a reference to establish a new occlusal plane inclination.

It was proposed that technologies derived from CAD-CAM and computed tomography may be useful for flapless implant treatment procedures. The aims of this study were to validate the reliability of this concept in a prospective 12-month clinical study. Twelve patients with fully edentulous areas in their mandibles were included in this study. A total of 71 implants were inserted in interforaminal regions by use of a CAD/CAM drill template($NobelGuide^{TM}$), specially designed for flapless implant surgery. To assess the degree of pain and discomfort, the patients were examined at 2 days and 1 week after surgery. Patient satisfaction and implant functionality were further evaluated at follow-up intervals of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. One implant failed early in 1 patient. All of the other implants were in a good functional state throughout the study. The mean marginal bone loss after 1 year of follow-up was 0.3 mm (SD, 0.1) at center, 0.5 mm (SD, 0.1) at canine and 0.7 mm (SD, 0.2) at distal fixtures, respectively. Statistically, there was not significant differences among each sites(P>.05)The mean ISQ change after 1 year of follow-up was -1.05 (SD, 2.76) at center, -0.85 (SD, 2.59) at canine and -1.27 (SD, 2.18) at distal fixtures, respectively. This prospective pilot study showed that the use of CAD/CAM technology and flapless implant surgery may be considered reliable for fully edentulous mandible of patients.
