A computer program for the analysis of dental models.

This paper presents the details and logic of a Fortran computer program which carries out routine clinical analysis of dental models resulting from impressions of the teeth and related structures, which are subsequently cast in plaster of Paris. The program is primarily intended for use by the orthodontist who is engaged in research or clinical practice, and is useful in studies related to changes in the dentition as a result of orthodontic treatment.

[Comparison between physical properties of resin materials and those of gypsum materials for dental models and dies (author's transl)].

Setting time, water sorption, solubility, dimensional change, hardness, tensile strength, compressive strength, bending strength, and Young's modulus of resin model materials and gypsum model materials were determined. These results are following: 1) Setting time of Goldex is in general the same as that of dental plaster, and setting time of Alpha-Die and that of Dicodur are the same as densite type stone. But setting time of Rock Model is very long, that is, ten times as long as that of densite type stone. 2) Water sorption and solubility of gypsum model materials are larger than those of resin model materials. Solubility of Dicodur is larger in comparison with the other resin model materials. 3) During setting, all of gypsum model materials expand but all of resin model materials contract. The absolute values of dimensional change of Rock Model and of densite type stones are the same, but smaller compared with those of other materials. 4) The value of knoop hardness of resin model materials is between that of plaster of Paris and that of hydrocal type stones. 5) In comparison with densite type stone, resin model materials are 2.5 to 5.0 times in tensile strength, the same in compressive strength, and 1.5 to 2.3 times in bending strength. 6) Young's modulus of resin model materials is 1/3 to 1/5 as much as that of densite type stones.

[Results of experimental studies on new materials for dental models].

Newly developed cast materials (special stone plaster and plastic materials for single-stump casts) were tested for their setting behaviour and strength, their ability to reproduce fine-profiled surfaces and, in combination with standarized silicone impressions, for their dimensional behavior. With reference to the authors' experience, the suitability of these materials for making casts is critically evaluated.

Veterinary dental demonstration models.

This article is about dental models and their construction. It is meant to be informative, entertaining and, hopefully, a little lighthearted. The use of dental models in the veterinary practice has become commonplace. The models are useful for demonstrating to clients and colleagues various dental pathologies and procedures.

A laboratory technique for teaching root resection.

A simple inexpensive method of making a laboratory model for the teaching of root resection has been presented. The technique of fabrication of the models requires only a rubber dental model mold, extracted or dentiform teeth, laboratory wax, and laboratory stone or plaster. This is one attempt to fulfill the need for developing laboratory exercises for the teaching of the various periodontal procedures.

The ICT in situ experimental model in dental research.

The intra-oral cariogenicity test (ICT) in situ experimental model was introduced in 1964 for the study of caries on sample enamel in the human mouth. Slabs of human or bovine enamel are mounted with a Dacron gauze cover in the acrylic flanges of prosthetic appliances. The extent of enamel demineralization or remineralization of lesions is assessed from surface microhardness measurements and microradiography of the enamel sections. The ICT model offers the potential of studying various parameters related to caries. This publication presents a typical ICT study comparing the cariogenicity of 10% sucrose solutions containing 1, 3, 10, and 30 ppm F with that of the control solution, 10% sucrose (without fluoride). The treatments were applied to the ICT as 10-minute extra-oral immersions. The results indicate: (1) a strong effect of F in decreasing demineralization of sound enamel and increasing remineralization of pre-softened enamel in the ICT; (2) pronounced resistance to a subsequent in vitro acid test; (3) pronounced F incorporation into pre-softened enamel; and (4) a characteristic acid-resistant zone, as seen in microradiographs, associated with exposure to F. This in situ model enables one to study experimental caries with repeated testing of enamel that follows the development and/or the regression of subsurface enamel lesions, F incorporation, increased acid resistance, cariogenicity of substrates, and other parameters of caries that can be assessed under standard conditions of tooth substrate and microbial sheltering.
