4D Printing: Research Focuses and Prospects

As an emerging technology in the field of additive manufacturing, 4D printing is highly disruptive to traditional manufacturing processes. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically summarize the research on 4D printing to promote the development of related industries and academic research. However, there is still an obvious gap in the visual connection between 4D printing theory and application research. We collected 2070 studies from 2013 on 4D printing from the core collection of Web of Science. We used VOSviewer 1.6.20 and CiteSpace software 6.3.3 to visualize the references and keywords to explore focuses and trends in 4D printing using scientometrics. In addition, real-world applications of 4D printing were analyzed based on the literature. The results showed that “tissue engineering applications” is the most prominent focus. In addition, “shape recovery”, “liquid crystal elastomer”, “future trends”, “bone tissue engineering”, “laser powder bed fusion”, “cervical spine”, “4D food printing”, “aesthetic planning” are also major focuses. From 2013 to 2015, focuses such as “shape memory polymers” and “composites” evolved into “fabrication”. From 2015 to 2018, the focus was on “technology” and “tissue engineering”. After 2018, “polylactic acid”, “cellulose”, and “regenerative medicine” became emerging focuses. Second, emerging focuses, such as polylactic acid and smart polymers, have begun to erupt and have become key research trends since 2022. “5D printing”, “stability” and “implants” may become emerging trends in the future. “4D + Food”, “4D + Cultural and Creative”, “4D + Life” and “4D + Clothing” may become future research trends. Third, 4D printing has been widely used in engineering manufacturing, biomedicine, food printing, cultural and creative life, and other fields. Strengthening basic research will greatly expand its applications in these fields and continuously increase the number of applicable fields.

Correcting orthodontic imperfections: aesthetic and functional refinements with composite resin

Occasionally, treatment modalities fall short of the expected outcomes. In the case study presented, the patient's orthodontic treatment had to be abandoned abruptly owing to excessive root resorption affecting the upper and lower incisors. This left the patient with unsatisfactory aesthetics and a suboptimal occlusal set up. The signs of tooth wear, combined with reduced periodontal support as a result of resorption, meant that occlusal management in this case was just as important for long-term success and stability as aesthetic planning. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The case presented demonstrates how to plan and execute both aesthetic and occlusally focused treatments in a minimally invasive and predictable manner.

The Incidence of Nasal Tip and Upper Lip Malposition in Primary Rhinoplasty.

In order to have an optimal aesthetic plan for correction of nasal tip disharmony, it is crucial to note lip and tip disproportions. This study sought to investigate the incidence of pre-operative upper lip malposition in primary rhinoplasty patients. 150 consecutive primary rhinoplasty patients were included. The position of the upper lip was measured during smiling relative to the incisors and gum line, and categorized as ideal, inadequate incisor show, or excessive gum show. Nasal length was categorized based on soft tissue cephalometic analysis of lifesize photographs as long, ideal and short. Tip projection was categorized as over-projected, ideal and under-projected. Columella was categorized as hanging, ideal or retracted. Standardized photos of 139 primary rhinoplasty patients met inclusion criteria. 49(35%) patients had an ideal upper lip position, 83(60%) inadequate incisor show, and 7(5%) excessive gum show. Sixteen (12%) had a short nose, 45(33%) ideal length and 76(55%) a long nose. 14(10%) had an under-projected tip, 38(28%) an ideal tip projection and 85(62%) an over-projected tip. None of the nasal parameters were predictive of upper lip position. Tip over-projection (OR 3.03, p=0.02) and hanging columella (OR 2.97, p=0.001) were predictive of a long nose. Tip under-projection was predictive of short length (OR 35, p<0.0001). There is a high incidence of upper lip malposition in patients undergoing primary rhinoplasty. It is vital for the rhinoplasty surgeon to identify it pre-operatively and plan the surgical maneuvers accordingly to prevent exacerbating an insufficient incisor show or excessive gum show.

An Analysis of the Application of Motion Capture Technology in the Creation of Contemporary Dance with the Integration of Fibonacci Sequences

Abstract This paper combines the existing development of Fibonacci sequence aesthetics in art creation for the aesthetic planning of the Fibonacci sequence on music rhythm, proposes to design a new modern dance creation method by combining the diversified rotation methods of the Fibonacci sequence, and builds a process framework for generating Fibonacci sequence dance score based on motion capture. The wavelet transform is employed to determine the start of the dance movement, and the gradient descent algorithm is utilized to analyze the time coordinates and refine the dance movement. Recognize the segmented elemental action sequences using the DTW method, propose three basic actions from the dataset, and test the recognition rate of the DTW algorithm for each action. Generate a Fibonacci sequence dance score by combining human gestures. Combined with the research scoring, analyze the artistic talent of the Fibonacci sequence-generated dance. According to the data results, it can be seen that the action feature vector of the two-handed waving image is P=[0.8968, 0.9925, 0.9124, 1.0243, 1.0198, 1.2438, 1.4596, 1.3698, 1.5868, 1.6596, 1.5029] with 98.67% of the two-handed waving recognition rate (with a standard deviation of 0.25). The evaluation of Fibonacci sequence generation dance by research users tends to be moderate.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in department of Prosthodontics in November 2021 after getting ethical approval among dental students and patients attending the hospital, with permanent healthy dentitions. Impression of maxillary and mandibular arches were made with alginate and poured in dental stone. Measurement of maxillary central incisors was done for length and thickness with the digital vernier calliper. Convenience sampling was done. Data were recorded and analysis done with SPSS v.20. Results: The mean value of crown length, crown thickness, mesiodistal width of left central incisor was greater compared to the right side (Left vs Right: 9.01 ± 1.14 mm vs 9 ± 1.14 mm , 7.04 ± 0.67 mm vs 6.96 ± 0.61 mm, 8.25 ± 0.59 mm vs 8.20 ± 0.51 mm). Conclusion: Crown length and crown width of maxillary left central incisor were greater compared to maxillary right central incisor. Shape of maxillary incisors determines the shape of the gingiva. The average values of length and widths of the central incisors derived from this study can be a valuable template for prosthodontic and aesthetic planning.

Evolving Clinical Experiences in Aesthetic Hip Implant Body Contouring.

Hip augmentation increases the hip width utilizing fat transfer and/or subcutaneous implants, creating a more feminine hourglass shape. Custom hip implant surgery requires proper patient selection, correct body frame analysis, appreciation of hip aesthetics, understanding surgical anatomy, optimal aesthetic planning, a favorable implant design and fabrication, skilled surgical implant placement, diligent postoperative patient care, and proper complication management. The authors sought to evaluate the pioneering clinical experience with cosmetic custom hip silastic implants. A consecutive patient surgical series of patients seeking custom aesthetic hip implant surgery was tabulated. Similar hip analysis, implant design and fabrication, surgical technique, and postoperative follow-up were performed in 3 practices. The overall patient satisfaction rate (87%, 47 of 54 patients) was favorable. There was a total of 29 (54%) medical complications and 20 (37%) cosmetic complications (implant show). A total of 17 patients (31.5%) requested revision surgery secondary to implant show (n = 10) and an infected implant (n = 6). No patient experienced an acute implant infection, incisional scar hypertrophy, wound dehiscence, implant extrusion, parasthesias, muscle dysfunction, or hip joint injury. The utilization of hip implants represents a new type of body contouring implant that has some unique differences in anatomic location, implant design, and tissue pocket location. Their utilization is an evolving one in aesthetic body implants, for which clinical experience to date remains limited in number. The proper surgical placement, postoperative management, and treatment of complications to include revision surgery are essential to achieving a successful body contouring outcome.

The Dragon of Love: Chaucer's Jason and the Cycle of Consumption in the Legend of Good Women

ABSTRACT In the Legend of Hypsipyle and Medea, Jason is portrayed as a predator whose compulsive need for sex with new women lays waste to all around him. Chaucer's sequence of imagery explores the continuums of lust and desire, of form and formlessness, providing insight on sexually predatory men, the currency of love, and the deep lack that spurs avarice. This reading of the legend highlights some recurrent motifs—dragons, foxes, gold, and emptiness—and discusses what these interlinked signs tell us about Chaucer's philosophy, his aesthetic and moral plan for the Legend of Good Women, and his continuing fascination with predatory masculine sexual behavior and compulsive infidelity, which he reads as a kind of shapeshifting. This legend presents a pessimistic and cautionary vision of a recurring human behavior, a biological urge that becomes unstoppable when it is couched behind gentility, as it was in the “first” seducer, Jason.

Problematics in the communication process among designers, recipients, and elements of the environmental beautifications

The creative process is embodied in three basic pillars, which are the designer, the recipient, and the architectural product, as the former conveys his experience and idea through an artistic or architectural work, and this experience cannot survive without having a future, and this experience is in the form of a creative product that carries the values ​​of originality, beauty, utility, etc. One of the positive features determined by the environmental environment according to a corrective judgment, and this means that its effectiveness is not complete without the presence of the recipient who can be considered a true partner in the re-creation of the architecture, who always seeks to reach the designer's intentions and define their features, and the creative process is not completed until after measuring the suitability of the designer In terms of expression, the extent of the recipient’s understanding of the product and the extent of the product’s suitability in embodying the creator’s ability to make optimal use of the architectural energies that exist within the environment and the extent to which the product is utilized for users, whether visitors, residents, or even transients, and therefore we find that distinguished projects depend on the understanding that makes the shape able to convey the intended message. The problem of communication between the designer and the recipient is a phenomenon worth studying by those interested in environmental beautification, to understand how the artistic approach and deal with pain Urban Nateq of all kinds, with the aim of reaching the correct scientific methods in the aesthetic planning of cities, and revealing the conscious perception of the designer to solve the problem of receiving the architectural image, where the importance of research appears in the unification and fusion of the state of suitability between the recipient, using and the creative designer or architect through the artistic product that is acquired Through it cities have a cultural, social, historical and economic value. Proplem of the research: Lack of a perception of what the effects of the reception process can cause by the users upon exposure to the environmental product, and how the designer can benefit when understanding these effects to produce designs and functional elements in the best visible architectural image. Objectives: Determining the effect of the reception process on both the environmental designer and the recipient and its reflection on the environmental beautification elements. Studying the vision generated by the recipient when viewing the artistic work, and how this vision can be transformed from a single vision (at the designer) to a double vision (at the designer and the recipient) of the environmental product. Identify the three pillars of the creative process, namely the designer, the recipient, and the architectural product, to determine the nature of the transformation from the recipient’s thought to a state of suitability in his latent image.After the emergence of many modern art movements and different schools in architecture, another trend appeared to preserve the existing architectural formations and protect them from any change, by respecting the general character of the area and the importance of choosing the optimal design for accessories and added buildings. Methodology : the inductive analytical approach, in which some concepts affecting the ruling elements of the research are reviewed, to extend to the analysis of models through which the link between the receiving mechanism of the technical work through its designer and recipient parties. Results : The artistic and architectural work as a design element that adopts the content of space, movement, time and diversity in the points of view with different perspectives for the same work that leads to a difference in the formation and organization of the surrounding environment, as it constitutes a spatial and temporal experience for the recipient, which affects the visual and social culture of him. The recipient’s movement and speed are two important factors in the perception and comprehension of the technical work, and the designer should take these two factors into account when thinking about developing design plans for the space. The chronological sequence of the recipient, through his movement within the space, affects the appearance and disappearance of the elements of artistic work and the visual impairment (determinants) represented by levels and blocks on the process of receiving and perception of the work and its elements. The designer must take into account the elements of formal complexity, ambiguity and clarity when designing an artistic work within the environment, so that the recipient can enjoy the artistic experience and acquire new information without losing his way. The tremendous potential offered by modern technology provides designers with many means to reach an architectural product that is easy to assimilate to recipients of different cultures and can enjoy it.

Development of the cultural and educational complex “Theatron”, integrated into the historical environment of the youth theater building in Kazan

The article reveals the design features of a new type of multifunctional object Theatron in the context of the existing historical urban environment. The formation of a typologically new object is due to the increased attention of people to cultural and entertainment institutions offering a wide range of services. The need for proper integration of modern architecture into the existing historical development of the city is one of the most important tasks facing the architect. The authors proposed architectural and planning solutions and the creation of recreational space. Since many theater and entertainment structures are located in memorial sites of national significance, or are themselves valuable historical heritage, the reconstruction of theater buildings is a constant and inevitable phenomenon in all countries and is associated with complex controversial issues of simultaneous preservation and the existing buildings’ improvement. In this regard, there is a constant need to “fit” such old buildings to the lifestyle of the modern audience and modern production methods of theaters in the XX-XXI centuries. Due to the technology development, the technology of demonstration space, stage equipment and engineering equipment of the entire building have changed. In addition, serious urban development problems have also emerged over the years. The city scale has changed, the population has increased, and there is a rapidly growing tourist flow. Transport has changed, Parking lots for cars, communication with the metro, landing stages for unloading decorations and other cargo were needed. There are also aesthetic urban planning problems that do not allow freely, unreasonably expand the building, add the new volumes. This work can contribute to the further development and improvement of the proposed methodology for designing public cultural objects.

Digital smile design as a tool in the planning of porcelain laminate veneers restoration

ABSTRACT Digital smile design is an important tool for esthetic planning in dentistry as it facilitates ease of communication between professionals and patients. This clinical report has the objective of describing a clinical procedure involving digital smile design for the placement of porcelain laminate veneer restorations. The digital smile design included dental and facial analyzes. The smile curve was drawn and a dental ruler was used to delimitate the spaces between each tooth. An approximate simulation of the smile was generated using Adobe Photoshop software. For esthetic and functional evaluation of the digital plan was created a diagnostic waxing and mock-up. The laminate veneers were made with feldspathic porcelain. Digital smile design was essential for successful planning because it enabled better patient contact with the end result. This case demonstrates the importance of this tool in esthetic dentistry.

Photographic Analysis of Aesthetically Pleasant Facial Profile in Aryan Group of Nepalese Population

Background: Facial aesthetics has been considered as the most significant factor for individual. The aim of the study was to identify the standard linear and angular measurement of facial profile in Aryan group of Nepalese population so as to set up aesthetic treatment goal.Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was done in fifty-seven subjects (27: females and 30: males, from 17-30 years). The landmarks were marked and two most commonly used lines were taken as reference lines E-line and S-line and seven facial angles were measured: Total Facial Convexity Angle (G-Prn-Pog), Facial Convexity Angle (G-Sn-Pog), Nasofacial Angle (G-Pog-N-Prn), Nasolabial Angle (Ls-Sn-Cm), Mentolabial Angle (Pog-B-Li),Nasofrontal Angle (G-N-Nd) and Nose tip Angle (N-Prn-Cm).Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 21. To assess anterior-posterior relationship of upper and lower lips judged by E-line and S-line were determined using correlation co-efficient (r). Likewise, to compare the angular measurement between males and females were determined using Mann-Whitney U test. Result: The anterior-posterior position of upper lip and lower lip judged by E-line were -3.78±0.67 mm and -1.92±0.61 mm respectively whereas upper and lower lips judged by S-line were 0.18±0.58 mm and 0.06±0.44 mm respectively. Statistically significant (p&lt;0.001) strong correlation(r) was found between upper lip to E-line and S-line (0.999) and between lower lip to E-line and S-line. Out of seven angular parameters, four parameters showed gender dimorphism which means statistically significant difference (p&lt;0.001) were seen in Nasofrontal Angle.Conclusion: Either one of the reference line can be used for evaluation of facial profile at the time of diagnosis. The parameters calculated by photographic analysis serve as a comparing guide for setting up aesthetic treatment plan and can be used both before and after orthodontic treatment.

A Quest on the Role of Aesthetics in Enhancing Functionality of Urban Planning

In view of the dramatic increase in the population of world cities, the necessities of aesthetic urban planning have increased. Addressing the aesthetics problems of urban spaces implies working with new models of aesthetic cities for developing comprehensive urban planning. This study highlights the importance of the consideration of urban aesthetics in the urban planning process using the qualitative grounded theory study as the main methodology. The study further showed the need for planners to consider economic and social outputs in planning considerations. The study contributes that the planning process should be tailored to implement aesthetic inherited planning into urban planning management.

DSDapp use for multidisciplinary esthetic planning.

Digital smile design (DSD) is useful in planning multidisciplinary esthetic treatments. However, DSD requires clinician training and skill to ensure its effective use. The Digital smile design application (DSDapp) was recently developed, to facilitate such planning. The objective of this study was to illustrate the use of the DSDapp for esthetic planning in a clinical case that included periodontal plastic surgery and ceramic laminate veneers. An intraoral digital scan was performed, and a photograph was obtained using an iPad (frontal facial full smile). The images were analyzed using the DSDapp. All reference lines were inserted, and dental shapes predetermined by the app were superimposed on the photographs. A digital diagnostic wax-up was performed considering the plan created in the DSDapp. After 3D printing the wax-up, a mock-up transferred the planning to the oral cavity. Following this, the patient was referred to a periodontist for the periodontal plastic surgery. After the healing period, the teeth were prepared for computer-aided design/computer-aided modeling lithium disilicate ceramic laminate veneers. DSDapp use accelerated the initial planning steps. Smile planning can be performed during the clinical session with the patient's active participation. In addition, the DSDapp facilitated better communication within the multidisciplinary team. The DSDapp relies more on intuition than on skill and training to execute the treatment plan. The DSDapp provides immediate feedback to the patient, offering greater predictability and helps monitor the planning through all the clinical stages.

Chairside 3D digital design and trial restoration workflow

Different digital tools have been used in clinical practice to assist in the planning and rehabilitation of patients. Some applications (apps) and software programs used in esthetic planning allow simulation of the smile design, improving communication between patients and professionals. Nonetheless, they are usually difficult to use, time-consuming, unattractive to present to the patient, and complicated to link with the 3D workflow. This article presents a new 3D digital smile design app for esthetic planning, smile simulation, chairside 3D virtual wax pattern, and trial restoration performed with portable devices. In this technique description, a facial frontal photograph, a facial scan standard tessellation language (STL) file, and a maxillary intraoral scan STL file were uploaded to the app. The files were calibrated to each other to allow a 3D facially driven smile design project. The definitive maxillary 3D digital waxing of facial templates was exported to a 3D printer as an STL file. The printed resin templates were directly placed in the mouth with flowable composite resin for an immediate trial restoration without the need for casts, silicone guides, or autopolymerizing resin. The workflow presented in this article linked the 3Dapp project to a printer and allowed straightforward chairside trial restorations.
