Evaluation of the Efficacy of Corticotomy and Piezocision on Canine Retraction: A Systematic Review

Background: In order to reduce the prolonged duration of orthodontic treatment, several surgical techniques have been proposed over the years. Corticotomy and piezocision are the two most widely used techniques, and, given the lack of consensus in the literature, along with the renewed interest in these approaches in recent years, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate their effectiveness in accelerating canine retraction in patients requiring extraction of the upper first premola...

The Efficacy of Clear Aligners in Leveling the Curve of Spee: A Systematic Review

This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of clear aligner therapy (CAT) in leveling the curve of Spee (CoS) in adult patients with permanent dentition. The clinical relevance of CoS correction lies in its impact on overbite reduction, occlusal function, and overall treatment outcomes. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science), supplemented by grey literature. Eligible studies wer...

A Survey of Modern Data Acquisition and Analysis Systems for Environmental Risk Monitoring in Aquatic Ecosystems

This survey is an integrated and complete summary of the strategies and technological systems of surveying environmental hazard in marine, freshwater, and brackish environments. Contrary to the previous articles where the separate parts of the monitoring chain are investigated or certain environments/enabling technologies are considered, the given work has a cross-domain approach that unites sensing modalities, data acquisition schemes, communication schemes, operational platforms, data analy...
