Effect of tooth temperature on the dentin bonding durability of a self-curing adhesives: The discrepancy between the laboratory setting and inside the mouth KU Leuven
A two-bottle self-curing universal adhesive (Tokuyama Universal Bond; Tokuyama Dental) that does not require a long waiting time or light curing after application of the bonding material has been developed. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of tooth and adhesive temperature during the bonding procedure on the effectiveness of dentin bonding. The results showed that the tooth temperature affected the effectiveness of the dentin bonding; ...
Three-dimensional validation of the impact of the quantity of teeth or tooth parts on the morphological difference between twin dentitions KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: The number of teeth involved in cases of bite-mark analysis is generally fewer in comparison to the number of teeth available for cases of dental identification. This decreases the amount of information available and can hamper the distinction between bite suspects. The opposite is true in cases of dental identification and the assumption is that more teeth contribute to a higher degree of specificity and the possibility of ...
Estimating emergence sequences of permanent teeth in Flemish schoolchildren using interval-censored biplots: a graphical display of tooth emergence sequences Hasselt University KU Leuven
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the pattern of emergence of permanent teeth using nonparametric techniques. Materials and methods: Data were obtained from the Signal-Tandmobiel (R) project, a 6-year prospective dental study conducted in Flanders (Belgium) in which 4468 primary school children born in 1989 were annually examined. A new exploratory method for interval-censored data, the IC-biplot, was applied to ...
Zebrafish sp7 mutants show tooth cycling independent of attachment, eruption and poor differentiation of teeth Ghent University
Lateral incisor agenesis, canine impaction and characteristics of supernumerary teeth in a South European male population. KU Leuven
OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of lateral incisor agenesis impacted canines and supernumerary teeth in a young adult male population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The panoramic radiographs of 1745 military students (mean age: 18.6 ± 0.52 years) who attended the Center of Aviation Medicine of the Armed Forces of Greece during the period 1997-2011 were initially analyzed for lateral incisor agenesis by two observers. After exclusion of the known ...
Ten simple rules for Global North researchers to stop perpetuating helicopter research in the Global South Ghent University
The practice of Global North (i.e., “richer” globalized countries located in the northern hemisphere, except for Australia and New Zealand) researchers making roundtrips to the Global South (i.e., “poorer” developing countries located around the tropics and in the Southern hemisphere) to collect materials and then process, analyze, and publish results with little to no involvement from local collaborators is referred to as “helicopter research” ...
Growing together : emancipatory lessons from North Korean defector's art education in South Korea Ghent University
‘Education’ has a twofold effect on learners, depending on the intention of the teachers. On the one hand, education isolates individual thoughts and limits a person’s process of imagination. Therefore, people who provide education (that is, the dominator) could easily deal with learners as they intend. On the other hand, education can also give liberty to the oppressed. North Korean life is dominated by the Kim family's ideology; people there ...
Bringing the North Pole to the South China Sea: Dots and Lines on Maps and Their Explanation Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The title of the present contribution may seem somewhat farfetched, for the North Pole and the South China Sea do not seem to have much in common at first sight. There certainly lies some truth in this primary observation, as will be discussed in Part 1 below. Nevertheless, as far as the development of the legal regime in both regions is concerned, a notable resemblance is to be discerned if one tries to understand how the largest country in the ...
