Tacit tonality - Implicit learning of context-free harmonic structure
2009
Musical knowledge, like native language knowledge, is largely implicit, being represented without awareness of its complex structures and incidentally acquired through interaction with a large number of samples. Two experiments explore implicit learning of hierarchical harmonic structures of different complexity employing an artificial grammar learning paradigm. The experiments consisted of an incidental learning phase using a distraction task, and a testing phase employing the process dissociation procedure paradigm (Jacoby, 1991). Participants performed significantly above chance and recognised adjacent and long-distance dependencies in both experiments. Confidence ratings and inclusion/e…
Balancing Between Narratives of the West and Hindu Nationalism in Emerging India
2019
India has been an important point of reference for Western identity, and the construction of an Orient. Vice versa, people in India have constructed their own Occidentalisms about Westerners, and the global position of ‘the West’, as well as to form an Indian identity. The West has represented the colonizer in India, but at the same time a source of valuable ideologies, values, policies, and innovations benefiting India. Moreover, many nationalist narratives in India emphasize self-reliance from and even superiority to the West. During Narendra Modi’s administration, the ‘New India’ has concentrated on taking a more active role in the world. Traditional elements of Indian tradition have bee…
Necesidad de tratamiento ortodóncico e impacto psicosocial de la estética dental en los adolescentes de la Comunidad Valenciana (2010)
2014
La Conferencia de Alma Ata sobre Atención Primaria de Salud en 1978 declaró que ''la salud es un estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y el bienestar social y no una mera ausencia de enfermedades o dolencias''. La maloclusión se ha asociado con problemas psicosociales derivados de una estética dentofacial deficiente, alteraciones funcionales en los casos más extremos (puede verse alterada el habla, la masticación y la articulación temporo-mandibular, entre otras) y una mayor susceptibilidad de desarrollar enfermedad periodontal, caries o sufrir traumatismos dentales; así, debe ser considerada como un problema de salud. La maloclusión no es una enfermedad en el sentido estricto por lo …
Modelling the Electromechanical Impedance Method for the Prediction of the Biomechanical Behavior of Dental Implant Stability
2015
Abstract We propose the electromechanical impedance (EMI) technique to assess the stability of dental implants. The technique consists of bonding a piezoelectric transducer to the element to be monitored. Conventionally, electromechanical admittance is used to diagnose structural damage. In this study, we created a 3D finite element model to mimic a transducer bonded to the abutment of a dental implant placed in a host bone site. We simulated the healing after surgery by changing the Young's modulus of the bone-implant interface. The results show that as the Young's modulus of the interface increases, the electromechanical characteristic of the transducer changes.

Clinical justification of dental radiology in adult patients: A review of the literature
2007
Although the radiological doses used by dentists are low individually, patients are often exposured to many repeat dental radiographic examinations. The ‘routine’ use of dental radiography, such as screening of all patients using dental panoramic radiography (DPRs) or a random decision to take a dental radiograph, will inevitable lead to unnecessary patient exposure. The use of Radiographic Referral Criteria has now become a legal requirement for all practitioners following the adoption of European Legislation. All exposures to x-rays should be clinically justified and each exposure should be expected to give the patient a positive net benefit. Recently the European Commission has published…
Estudio clínico del sistema Locator® en pacientes portadores de sobredentaduras sobre implantes
2013
1. Introducción. Los pacientes edéntulos son un grupo poblacional considerable y con necesidades terapéuticas. Las sobredentaduras retenidas sobre implantes son una adecuada alternativa, sobre todo a nivel mandibular, mejorando el comportamiento de las tradicionales prótesis completas removibles. Además las sobredentaduras suponen una mejora en la calidad de vida oral de los pacientes desdentados. 2. Objetivos. Los objetivos planteados en el presente trabajo fueron los siguientes: 1. Analizar el comportamiento del sistema Locator® en pacientes portadores de sobredentaduras mandibulares retenidas mediante dos implantes, para lo cual estudiaremos los siguientes parámetros: a) Éxito de implant…
Injertos óseos en bloque intraorales tipo onlay: estudio de los tejidos duros y blandos periimplantarios
2016
Los injertos óseos en bloque intraorales tipo onlay son una opción terapéutica para incrementar tanto la anchura como la altura del proceso alveolar para la posterior colocación de los implantes dentales. La colocación simultánea del implante con el injerto óseo permitiría acortar el tiempo de tratamiento y evitar un segunda cirugía, sin embargo aunque se ha descrito ampliamente en el aumento vertical, son escasos los estudios en el tratamiento del aumento horizontal. Por otro lado, diversos procedimientos se han utilizado para la atrofia vertical de los sectores posteriores de la mandíbula atrófica, sin embargo las complicaciones relacionadas con los procedimientos de aumento ha hecho que …

Influence of Oral Health Care Systems on Future Career Environment of Dental Students in Europe
2021
Oral healthcare is organized subsidiarily and independently by nation states in Europe and also within the EU and consequently, major differences between the nation states and the various oral healthcare systems in Europe are present. The socialization in the respective catchment area can have an impact on the job choice and the perception of employment opportunities of different professional groups. Therefore, the purpose of this survey was to elucidate the influence of different oral healthcare systems on students living or studying in the respective catchment area. A questionnaire (in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish) with 18 different components was administered. Data on ge…
