Aims: The aim of this study is to evaluate the rugae pattern changes (rugae number, length, shape, direction, and unification) in completely edentulous patients treated with complete denture. Materials and Methods: A total of 100 subjects were selected for the study. The experimental group comprised 60 participants (30 males and 30 females) who had undergone complete denture treatment and the control group comprised 40 participants (20 males and 20 females) who were dentulous and patients with fixed partial denture treatment. Mucostatic maxillary alginate impressions were made for all the subjects, and casts were poured with gypsum. Patients were recalled at the regular intervals of 1, 6, and 18 months after the treatment. During those recalls, the same impression procedure was made, and all the palatal rugaes were observed for number, length, shape, direction, and unifications under magnifying lens. Changes in the palatal rugae were statistically analyzed using the unpaired t‑test. Results: A gradual decrease in the length was observed in primary, secondary, and fragmentary rugae for the experimental group after denture wearing (Group 1). Statistically, the change was significant (P < 0.001) in primary rugae only. A slight change in rugae shape was also observed in the experimental group after 18 months period of denture wearing which is statistically insignificant (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Significant decrease in primary rugae length in complete denture wearers was due to sustained mechanical stress posed by the dentures on palatal rugae. The other parameters such as rugae number, direction, and unification remained constant throughout the study. Palatal rugae analysis may not be helpful for human identification in complete denture wearers. Nevertheless, palatal rugae may serve as an adjuvant to other techniques such as DNA analysis and finger prints in forensic investigations.

BACKGROUND: The set of pathological changes in the stomatognathic system in the presence of a total maxillary prosthesis and a removable partial mandibular prosthesis has been described as the Combi-nation Syndrome. The main purpose of this study was to determine its prevalence and if features such as age, sex or type of mandibular edentulism are associated with the syndrome in the patients of the Odon-tologic Clinic of the of Faculty of Dentistry, Universidad de Cuenca during the academic period 2015-2016. METhODS: Cuantitative, cross sectional descriptive and correlational study. The sample consisted of 312 edentulous patients. The diagnosis of the syndrome in this study was determined by the presence of a minimum of three associated signs. We determine the prevalence of combiantion syndrome and the association between sex, age and edentulism type and combination syndrome. RESUlTS: The prevalence of combination syndrome is 21.8%. Adults 60 years or older (1.8 times higher probability) and patients who suffer from Kennedy class I partial edentulism (3.6 times higher probability than other types of edentulism), have a higher probability for developing the syndrome. CONClUSiON: The prevalence of CS was 21.8%, age and suffering from Kennedy class I partial edentulism should be considered as risk factors for developing the syndrome.

One of the existing methods for analysis of the vertical dimension of occlusion or occlusal face height is the cephalometric analysis of the distance from nasion to menton (N-Me). The vertical dimension of occlusion was measured in 30 lateral cephalometric radiographs of edentulous patients (experimental group), with models of complete dentures after clinical methods of determining the vertical and horizontal intermaxillary relation and 30 lateral cephalometric radiographs of participants with natural teeth (control group). The aims of the present study were: to analyse the vertical dimension of occlusion in participants with natural teeth skeletal class I, to cephalometrically evaluate the reconstructing vertical dimension of occlusion of edentulous patients skeletal class I , to compare examined variables between individuals with natural teeth and edentulous patients. The results indicated a remarkable correlation in the vertical dimension of occlusion established initially for the edentulous patients when compared with the measurements made for dentulous patients. The results showed the vertical dimension of occlusion span a range between 106,7 - 138 mm (X _ =122,24) in subjects with natural teeth. In edentulous patients the values of vertical dimension of occlusion span ranged between 109,8 - 141,6 mm (X _ =122,46). The vertical dimension of occlusion in male participans was increased in the group of persons with natural teeth as well as in edentulous patients. The results of t-test proved that there were no statistically significant differences in examined variables between persons with natural teeth and edentulous patients (p>0,01).

Central Nervous System Malformation

This study was to explore the application of deep learning neural network (DLNN) algorithms to identify and optimize the ultrasound image so as to analyze the effect and value in diagnosis of fetal central nervous system malformation (CNSM). 63 pregnant women who were gated in the hospital were suspected of being fetal CNSM and were selected as the research objects. The ultrasound images were reserved in duplicate, and one group was defined as the control group without any processing, and images in the experimental group were processed with the convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm to identify and optimize. The ultrasound examination results and the pathological test results before, during, and after the pregnancy were observed and compared. The results showed that the test results in the experimental group were closer to the postpartum ultrasound and the results of the pathological result, but the results in both groups showed no statistical difference in contrast to the postpartum results in terms of similarity ( P > 0.05 ). In the same pregnancy stage, the ultrasound examination results of the experimental group were higher than those in the control group, and the contrast was statistically significant ( P < 0.05 ); in the different pregnancy stages, the ultrasound examination results in the second trimester were more close to the postpartum examination results, showing statistically obvious difference ( P < 0.05 ). In conclusion, ultrasonic image based on deep learning was higher in CNSM inspection; and ultrasonic technology had to be improved for the examination in different pregnancy stages, and the accuracy of the examination results is improved. However, the amount of data in this study was too small, so the representative was not high enough, which would be improved.

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of sainsmatika-based storybooks to improve environmental awareness for students. The experimental research design was used in this study, which involved two classes, namely the control class and the experimental class. Each class consisted of 30 students. The research subjects were 60 students of grade 4 students consisting of 36 female students and 24 male students. The analysis process used an independent t-sample test to find out the differences in each outcome. The results showed that based on the gain value obtained, it found out that the average value of the pre-test results in the control class was 49.47 and the posttest result was 67.41. This showed that the increasing score in the pre-test and post-test control classes only reached 2.34 which can be classified as low. Whereas in the experimental class, the results showed that the average pre-test results in the experimental class was 52.63, and the post-test results were 78.90. It means that the students' environmental awareness on pre-test and post-test results were 3.48, which was in the medium category. The results of the experimental research showed that the use of sainsmatika-based storybooks has a significant impact on students' environmental awareness. The results of hypothesis testing on environmental awareness variables showed that there were significant differences between the control group and the experimental group. The experimental group was better than the control group (t count 3.124 at level p 0.01).
