Quantitative evaluation of surface roughness and mass loss for different types of composite resins used for clear aligner attachments: an in vitro study by Rana R. Alshammari, Rana R. Alshammari, Nada Alshihah, Aljazi Aldweesh

“…Post hoc comparisons of final roughness at T2 between groups revealed that Filtek™ Supreme XTE Universal exhibited the highest surface roughness and the greatest mass loss (2.4% of total weight).ConclusionTetric PowerFill demonstrated superior resistance to surface wear and mass degradation, making it the most suitable material among those tested for long-term use as clear aligner attachments. In contrast, Filtek™ Supreme XTE Universal was the least resistant, indicating a higher need for clinical monitoring and potential replacement.…”

Determining Aligner-Induced Tooth Movements in Three Dimensions Using Clinical Data of Two Patients by Ignacio Filippon, Christine Tanner, Jeannette A. von Jackowski, Georg Schulz, Tino Töpper, Bert Müller

“…The data on these orthodontic treatments indicate the extent to which actual tooth movement lags behind the treatment plan, as represented by the aligner shapes. The proposed procedure can not only be used to quantify the clinical outcome of the therapy, but also to improve future planning of orthodontic treatments for each specific patient. …”

Anodapter: A Unified Framework for Generating Aligned Anomaly Images and Masks Using Diffusion Models by Minkyoung Shin, Seonggyun Jeong, Yong Seok Heo

“…To address these challenges, we introduce Anodapter, a unified few-shot anomaly generation model that utilizes a single diffusion model to sequentially generate well-aligned anomaly masks and images. Unlike earlier models such as AnomalyDiffusion, which use separate models for mask and image generation, Anodapter integrates both tasks into a single diffusion model through its proposed Switch Adapter, eliminating misalignment and improving realism. …”
