DETERMINATION OF NORMATIVE CEPHALOMETRIC PARAMETERS ACCORDING TO THE STEINER METHOD FOR UKRAINIAN YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN WITH DIFFERENT FACE TYPES

In Ukrainian young men (n=49) or young women (n=76) with orthognathic occlusion with different face types, numerous reliable and tendencies of differences of cephalometric parameters by the Stainer method were established. Among the indicators belonging to the second group (indicators of the upper and lower jaws according to the Steiner method), significant differences were found only between young women with a very wide face and other types of faces. Among the indicators belonging to the third group (indicators by the Steiner method that characterize the position of each individual tooth relative to each other, cranial structures and soft tissue profile of the face), more pronounced differences are also found between young women with very wide faces and other facial types; among young men – with representatives with a wide face compared to the middle and narrow face types. Among the cephalometric parameters belonging to the second group of indicators, the expressed manifestations of sexual dimorphism of cephalometric parameters are established only for linear indicators; among the parameters belonging to the third group of indicators, the manifestations of sexual dimorphism are established for both linear and angular indicators.

Modeling of individual teleradiographic indicators according to the Steiner method for Ukrainian young men with wide and young women with a very wide and wide face types

Cephalometric methods of analysis of lateral teleradiograms are one of the key elements of orthodontic planning of treatment of a patient with pathology of the dental-jaw system. Determining normative teleradiographic indicators for the local population is a key step for the successful application of one or another method of analysis, in particular, for Ukraine. The aim of the study was to construct and analyze regression models of teleradiographic parameters used in the Steiner method for Ukrainian young men and young women with orthognathic occlusion with different face types. 49 young men and 76 young women with orthognathic occlusion in the software OnyxCeph³™, version 3DPro, the company Image Instruments GmbH, Germany (license № URSQ-1799) conducted a cephalometric study using the Steiner method. The division into facial types was performed using the Garson index. Cephalometric parameters were divided into three groups: the first – indicators used in cephalometric analyzes of Schwarz, Ricketts, Steiner, Roth-Jarabak, Burstone and Bjork and are included in the parameters that usually do not change during surgical and orthodontic treatment; the second – dental-maxillary characteristics according to the Steiner method which surgical methods can be used to change the length, width, angles and position of the jaws; third – indicators according to the Steiner method that characterize the position of each tooth relative to each other, cranial structures and the profile of the soft tissues of the face. Modeling of individual teleradiographic indicators was performed in the licensed package “Statistica 6.0” using step-by-step regression analysis. When analyzing reliable models of teleradiographic indicators according to the Steiner method, which were included in the second group depending on the indicators of the first group with a coefficient of determination higher than 0.6, it was found that out of 7 possible, 5 models were built for young men with a wide face type, which most often include the value of the distances Ar-Go and N-S and the angles H and N-S-Ar; young women with a very wide type of face – 3 models (R²=from 0.604 to 0.812) which most often include the value of the angles N-S-Ar and H; in young women with a wide type of face – 4 models (R²= from 0.694 to 0.771) which most often include the value of the angles POr-NBa and H, the distance P-PTV and the ratio S-ar:ar-Go. When analyzing reliable models of teleradiographic indicators according to the Steiner method, which were included in the third group depending on the indicators of the first and second groups with a coefficient of determination higher than 0.6, it was found that out of 8 possible in young people with a wide face type, 7 models were built (R²= from 0.662 to 0.946). which most often include the magnitude of the angles ANB and SN-GoGn and the distance P-PTV; in young women with a very wide face type – 4 models (R²= from 0.635 to 0.844) which most often include the value of the angles ANB, SNA, POr-NBa and the distance Pog-NB; in young women with a wide type of face – 6 models (R²= from 0.617 to 0.923), which most often include the value of the distances Pog-NB and N-CC and the angle ANB. Construction of regression models of teleradiographic indicators used in the Steiner method in Ukrainian young men and young women with orthognathic occlusion is the foundation for creating a database of normative cephalometric indicators in Ukraine, which will provide dental care to the population at the current level.

Numerical simulation of slab deformation process with different reduction values in vertical rolls of mill 2000 roughing stands

Perfection of rolled stock production processes at continuous wide-strip hot rolling mill (CWHRM) aimed at minimization of metal consumption, is an effective mean to decrease its cost. In the process of slabs rolling at CWHRM, the metal consumption is stipulated first of all by complicated workpiece forming in roughing stands during consecutive reduction by vertical and horizontal rolls. Results of the numerical study of slab deformation with different values of reduction in vertical rolls of roughing stands of mill 2000 are presented. The implementation of rolling process model based on application of DEFORM-3D program of finiteelement analysis described for evaluation of metal shifting from the edges of slab in the direction of the middle of the width. The convergence of the simulation results with the measurements data of workpiece forming during roughing rolling at Severstal mill 2000 was experimentally confirmed. It was found that an increase of reduction in vertical rolls has no significant effect on the metal shifting from a narrow edge to a wide one. Increase the total reduction in vertical rolls leads to an unfavorable stress-strain state of the edge region and the Cockcroft–Latham criterion rises by 20–30%. It was proposed to reduce the total reduction in the vertical rolls of the roughing stands of mill 2000 down to 40–50 mm. It was shown that increase of time of slab moving from the heating furnace to the scale breaker causes growth the Cockcroft-Latham criterion and does not affect the amount of metal shifting from a narrow face to a wide one. The proposed method of simulation the process of slab deformation in the roughing group of the mill 2000 proved by results of industrial rolling can to be used for further study of the effect of rolls profiling and forming of surface defects with the provision of minimal metal shifting onto a wide face.

REGRESSION MODELS OF INDIVIDUAL LINEAR DIMENSIONS NECESSARY FOR CONSTRUCTING THE CORRECT FORM OF DENTAL ARCH IN YOUNG WOMEN WITH A WIDE FACE, DEPENDING ON THE FEATURES OF ODONTOMETRIC AND CEPHALOMETRIC INDICATORS

The purpose of the study: build and analyze the regression models of computed tomographic parameters necessary to determine the correct shape of dental arches, depending on the odontological and cephalometric parameters for girls with normal occlusion close to orthognathic occlusion and a wide type of face.

Conclusions: the results obtained indicate the need to take into account the type of face when calculating the parameters of dental arches.

Numerical analysis of local heat flux and thin-slab solidification in a CSP funnel-type mold with electromagnetic braking

In this article, based on the actual monitored temperature data from mold copper plate with a dense thermocouple layout and the measured magnetic flux density values in a CSP thin-slab mold, the local heat flux and thin-slab solidification features in the funnel-type mold with electromagnetic braking are analyzed. The differences of local heat flux, fluid flow and solidified shell growth features between two steel grades of Q235B with carbon content of 0.19%C and DC01 of 0.03%C under varying operation conditions are discussed. The results show the maximum transverse local heat flux is near the meniscus region of over 0.3 m away from the center of the wide face, which corresponds to the upper flow circulation and the large turbulent kinetic energy in a CSP funnel-type mold. The increased slab width and low casting speed can reduce the fluctuation of the transverse local heat flux near the meniscus. There is a decreased transverse local heat flux in the center of the wide face after the solidified shell is pulled through the transition zone from the funnel-curve to the parallel-cure zone. In order to achieve similar metallurgical effects, the braking strength should increase with the increase of casting speed and slab width. Using the strong EMBr field in a lower casting speed might reverse the desired effects. There exist some differences of solidified shell thinning features for different steel grades in the range of the funnel opening region under the measured operating conditions, which may affect the optimization of the casting process in a CSP caster.

MODELS OF INDIVIDUAL LINEAR DIMENSIONS NECESSARY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE CORRECT FORM OF DENTAL ARCHES IN YOUNG MEN WITH A WIDE FACE, DEPENDING ON THE FEATURES OF ODONTOMETRIC AND CEPHALOMETRIC INDICATORS

The aim is development and analysis of regression models of linear dimensions necessary for the construction of the correct form of dental arches in young men with a wide face, depending on the features of odontometric and cephalometric indicators. Material and methods: Primary computed tomographic indices of tooth size and cephalometric parameters of 44 young men with normal occlusion were obtained from the data bank of the National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Face type was determined using the Garson morphological index. In licensed statistical package “Statistica 6,0” developed regression models of linear dimensions necessary for the construction of the correct form of dental arches. Results: As a result of researches, it is established that all 18 reliable models of the sizes used for construction of the correct form of dental arches, depending on peculiarities of odontometric and cephalometric indices with a coefficient from 0.645 to 0.944 are constructed. Built models in adolescents with a broad face type more often include odontometric than cephalometric indicators. The most commonly used odontometric indices are: the width of the crowns of the teeth in the mesio-distal and vestibulo-oral directions, as well as the distance from the middle of the cutting edge to the apex of the root of the teeth in the vestibulo-oral direction. Conclusions: In adolescents with a broad type of face with normal occlusion, all 18 possible reliable regression models of reproduction of the individual characteristics of the dental arches of the upper and lower jaws were determined and analyzed.

Modeling by regression analysis of the transverse dimensions of the upper and lower jaws and sagittal characteristics of the dental arch in young women with a very wide face, depending on the features of the odonto- and cephalometric indicators

Providing maximum individual orthodontic care to the patient is impossible without the use of modern instrumental methods of research and considering odontometric and cephalometric characteristics of representatives of relevant populations of different sex and age. The purpose of the study is to develop and analyze regression models of computed tomography sizes necessary to construct the correct form of dental arches in young women with a very wide face, depending on the characteristics of odonto- and cephalometric indicators. Primary computed tomographic indices of tooth size and cephalometric parameters of 50 young women with normal occlusion close to orthognathic occlusion were obtained from the data bank of the scientific-research center of National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya. Face type was determined using the Garson morphological index. The following distribution is established: with a very wide face – 21, with a wide face – 20, with a medium face – 6, with a narrow face – 3, with a very narrow face – 0. Therefore, only young women with a wide and very wide face were selected for further modeling. The development of regression models of linear dimensions necessary for the construction of the correct form of dental arches, depending on the features of odonto- and cephalometric indicators in young women with very wide faces, was carried out in a licensed statistical package “Statistica 6.0”. It is established that young women with a very wide type of face with normal occlusion have built all 18 possible reliable models (with a coefficient of determination from 0.863 to 0.962) of linear computed tomography sizes used to construct the correct form of dental arches of the upper and lower jaws in depending on the features of odontometric and cephalometric indicators. Built models in young women with a very wide face type included more often odontometric (73.0 %) than cephalometric (27.0 %) data. Among the odontometric indicators, the most frequently included models are: width of crowns of teeth in mesio-distal direction (20.7 %); width of the teeth at the level of the anatomical neck in the mesio-distal direction (14.4 %) and width of the crowns of the teeth in the vestibulo-oral direction (10.8 %); and among the cephalometric indicators – the greatest length of the head (3.6 %); average width of face and height of lower lip (2.7 % each). Thus, in young women with a very wide type of face with normal occlusion close to orthognathic occlusion, all 18 possible reliable regression models of reproduction of the individual characteristics of the dental arches of the upper and lower jaws depending on the odonto- and cephalometric parameters were developed and analyzed.

The article deals with the history of studies at the ancient Russian hill Fort and burial ground of the annalistic town Voyin. The author analyses the remains of people buried in Voyin during 13th - 14th cent. compares the morphological complexes from this series mainly to the Eastern European Slavs of 10th - 14th cent. It is possible to make the conclusion that the mail mesocranic series is related to the skulls from Stara Riazan and probably to Slovenes from Novgorod according to craniometrical data. According to the skulls’ classification by T. Aleksieieva, the mail selection belongs to mesodolychocranic type with merely wide face along with Tivertsi, Ulichs and Drevlians. According to typology by V. Diachenko, the mail group is a part of Neopolissian anthropological type with certain reservations. The female mesocranic selection is statistically close to Kyivan Polyany and Kryvichs. According to the scheme by T. Rudych, the female series belongs to mesocranic craniological type with the moderately wide face together with Kyivan Polyany after a sort. Key words: craniometry, cranioscopy, anthropology, Voyin, Central Dnieper Ukraine.
