Nonsurgical treatment of skeletal anterior open bite in adult patients: Posterior build-ups.
2016
ABSTRACT Objective: To (1) evaluate the efficacy of build-ups in the correction of anterior open bite in adults, (2) evaluate their efficacy in producing molar intrusion, (3) analyze skeletal and dental changes, and (4) assess the long-term stability. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 93 lateral cephalograms from 31 patients with skeletal and dental anterior open bite. The patients had received orthodontic treatment consisting of bonded resin blocks on the maxillary molars combined with Tip-Edge Plus bracket appliances. Cephalometric measurements were performed on radiographs taken before treatment (T1), after treatment (T2), and after a retention period (T3), which were analyz…
Miniscrew mechanics for molar distalization and incisor intrusion in a patient with a Class II brachyfacial pattern and gummy smile
2020
A gummy smile is one of the most problematic characteristics in patients with a Class II Division 2 malocclusion, and the correction of vertical position and incisor torque is often challenging for the orthodontist. This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a 31-year-old woman, assisted by miniscrew mechanics for maxillary arch distalization and correction of a gummy smile with a brachyfacial pattern. Two different mechanics were used. Miniscrews were placed in both maxillary tuberosities, and the maxillary arch was successfully distalized, correcting the Class II relationship. Interradicular miniscrews were placed for maxillary and mandibular incisor intrusion to correct the …
Machine-readable entailments with the Italian 'prendere' construction expressing hitting and insulting events
2022
The Italian language features a little debated transitive construction with prendere ‘to take/to catch’ in which a prepositional phrase (PP) with an adverbial value occurs mandatorily (e.g. Lui prese a pugni Leo ‘He punched Leo’). Semantically, this construction often implies the use of physical force or verbal offence. In the hitting or insulting event, the notional subject generally is a [+ Human] Agent, whilst the notional direct object generally is a [+ Animate] Affectee ([1]: 4). It can be contended that prendere, which carries no literal meaning, is zero-valent and that the predicate assigning semantic roles is the PP. A computational tool will be illustrated, …

Maximum occlusal bite force in pre-school children with different occlusal patterns
2018
Background This study was carried out to record maximum occlusal bite force (MOBF) in pre-school children with different occlusal patterns. Material and Methods A randomly selected sample of 1085 kindergarten children in primary dentition stage were selected. The age of subjects ranged between 3-6 years (averaged 4.90 ± 0.86 years). The subjects were divided into 3 groups according to molar relationship; flush terminal (n=335; 165 males and 170 females), distal step (n=450; 200 males and 250 females), mesial step (n=300; 150 males and 150 females) molar relationship. Clinical examination involved the record of molar relationship, overjet, overbite and the presence of wearing facets. Occlusa…

Dentoskeletal effects of class II malocclusion treatment with the modified Twin Block appliance
2019
Background The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the dentoskeletal effect of a modified Twin Block appliance for treatment of class II malocclusions. Material and Methods Lateral cephalograms of 25 Class II malocclusion patients were compared to evaluate skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue changes pre- and post-treatment with a modified Twin Block appliance. A total of 33 angular and linear variables were used for analysis. The differences were calculated at the start and end of treatment. The paired T test was performed to compare the cephalometric measurements before and after treatment. Results Compared the pre- and post- treatment measurements, there was a significan…
Tradición católica y ritual festivo: secularización y metamorfosis de lo sagrado
2021
El objetivo del artículo es analizar la relación entre tradición, ritual y proceso de secularización en la modernidad avanzada, a partir de un análisis histórico y etnográfico de las fiestas católicas de Corpus Christi y Semana Santa, además de algunas grandes celebraciones locales. Se defiende que la tradición moderna no es una mera herencia del pasado, sino producto de un proceso de retradicionalización selectiva de prácticas formadas conflictivamente en el mundo católico durante el período de la Contrarreforma, tras un proceso de negociación (basado en un desigual equilibrio de poder) entre hierocracia eclesial y prácticas locales comunes. En la sociedad postradicional, caracterizada por…
Pitrè. Dal folklore all'antropologia
2021
Giuseppe Pitrè (1941-1916), medico e folklorista palermitano, è stato il fondatore in Italia degli studi demologici ma, più in generale, dell'antropologia. Attraverso la disamina delle sue opere, scelte tra le meno note e dibattute, e di scritti inediti, vengono messi in luce anche aspetti non convenzionali, o "privati", del medico/antropologo palermitano. Infaticabile studioso, "ideatore" della Demopsicologia, docente universitario, fondatore di riviste di ampia diffusione e di una Società di tradizioni popolari, conferenziere, politico, biografo di personaggi illustri ma anche curioso ritrattista di suoi contemporanei. Senza pretesa di esaustività, il presente lavoro presenta anche l'uomo…
