  • Radiographic stents: integrating treatment planning and implant placement.
    Dental clinics of North America, 2014
    Co-Authors: Ingeborg J. De Kok, Ghadeer Thalji, Matthew Bryington, Lyndon F. Cooper
    Abstract:

    The Pivotal Point in treatment planning for dental implants occurs when the location of bone is viewed radiographically in the context of the planned prosthesis. Radiographic planning for dental implant therapy should be used only after a review of the patient's systemic health, imaging history, oral health, and local oral conditions. The radiological diagnostic and planning procedure for dental implants can only be fully achieved with the use of a well-designed and -constructed radiographic guide. This article reviews several methods for construction of radiographic guides and how they may be utilized for improving implant surgery planning and performance.

  • Patient Selection and Treatment Planning for Implant Restorations
    Dental clinics of North America, 2014
    Co-Authors: Matthew Bryington, Ingeborg J. De Kok, Ghadeer Thalji, Lyndon F. Cooper
    Abstract:

    Dental implants are an indispensible tool for the restoration of missing teeth. Their use has elevated the practice of dentistry by improving both our technical ability to rehabilitate patients and general quality of life. To routinely achieve the associated high expectations, diligent attention to details must be observed and addressed from the outset. Of central concern is the attainment of osseointegration and the location of implants to ideally support the intended restoration. The Pivotal Point in treatment planning for dental implants occurs when the location of bone is viewed radiographically in the context of the planned prosthesis. This most often requires diagnostic waxing or tooth arrangement using mounted diagnostic casts.

  • ICRA - A holonomic omnidirectional vehicle with a reconfigurable footprint mechanism and its application to wheelchairs
    Proceedings. 1998 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.98CH36146), 1
    Co-Authors: Masayoshi Wada, H.h. Asada
    Abstract:

    A new reconfigurable mechanism for varying the footprint of a four-wheeled omnidirectional vehicle is presented. A chair is mounted on a moving platform with four ball-wheels allowing holonomic, omnidirectional motion. Two pairs of ball-wheels at the diagonal positions of the chassis are mounted, respectively, on two beams that intersect at a Pivotal Point in the middle. The angle between the two beams crossing at the Pivotal Point is varied actively so that the ratio of the wheel base to the tread may change. Four independent servomotors driving the four ball-wheels allow the vehicle to exhibit holonomic motion. The beam angle is controlled based on the measurement of the mass centroid position in such a way that the mass centroid can be kept within the footprint at all times. The concept of the reconfigurable footprint mechanism is described, and its kinematics is analyzed followed by the control design for augmenting vehicle stability. A prototype vehicle for wheelchair platform application is designed.
