Three-dimensional orthodontic force measurements.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Until recently, much of the orthodontic biomechanics literature was restricted to 2-dimensional experimental studies and, more recently, to assumption-based 3-dimensional computer modeling. There is little evidence in the literature ... Read more...

Monitored anesthesia care with target-controlled infusion in vibroplasty.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Correct positioning of a floating mass transducer during middle ear implant surgery is often problematic. With the use of monitored anesthesia care (MAC), however, deep sedation is maintained during surgery, followed by conscious ... Read more...

Piezoelectric round window osteoplasty for Vibrant Soundbridge implant.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the Piezosurgery (PZS) ultrasonic bone dissector as an alternative to conventional drilling to implant the Vibrant Soundbridge transducer in the round window (RW) niche. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective noncontrolled study. ... Read more...
