Regressive formula to determine vertical dimension in the edentulous.

The distances between the cephalometric points of 380 patients with complete natural dental arches were measured. A correlation between the bizygomatic, nasion-subnasal and subnasal-gnathion distances and the vertical dimension was established and a mathematical formula was derived to enable determination of both the physiologic rest position and vertical dimension at centric occlusion in edentulous patients.

Phase identification of dental amalgam using transmission electron microscopy.

Dental amalgam specimens were polished and afterward etched by an acid iodine solution. The replicas were obtained by the vacuum coating technique. The electron micrographs indicated that it was possible to identify the silver-mercury (gamma1) and tin-mercury (gamma2) intermetallic compounds formed during amalgam setting.
