Summary Semi?adjustable articulators have often been used to simulate occlusal dynamics, but advances in intra?oral scanning and computer software now enable dynamics to be modelled mathematically. Computer simulation of occlusal dynamics requires accurate virtual casts, records to register them and methods to handle mesh collisions during movement. Here, physical casts in a semi?adjustable articulator were scanned with a conventional clinical intra?oral scanner. A coordinate measuring machine was used to index their positions in intercuspation, protrusion, right and left laterotrusion, and to model features of the articulator. Penetrations between the indexed meshes were identified and resolved using restitution forces, and the final registrations were verified by distance measure…

Authors: Higashikawa A, Kojima Y, Sato M, Kimura M, Ogura K, Mochizuki H, Sase T, Shinya A, Kobune K, Furuya T, Sato T, Shibukawa Y, Tazaki M Abstract Merkel cells (MCs), which form part of the MC-neurite complex, making contact with sensory afferents to drive mechanosensory transduction mechanisms, express transient receptor potential (TRP) cation channel subfamily vanilloid (V) members 1, 2, and 4, as well as ankyrin subfamily member 1. While these proteins are involved in sensing plasma membrane stretch, less is known about the functional properties of TRPV subfamily member 3 (TRPV3) during membrane stretch in MCs. The aim of this study was to determine whether TRPV3 channels were involved in mechanosensory activity by measuring intracellular free Ca(2+) concentrations ([Ca(2+)]…

At that time, Hurst, who had suffered for years from tooth decay and multiple abscesses, decided to have her teeth pulled – one by one – until she had less than 20 left. The pain had become the equivalent of having a “migraine” in each tooth, Bays recalled, becoming so unbearable that it affected both her vision and ability to sleep.
