Soft Tissue Stability around Single Implants Inserted to Replace Maxillary Lateral Incisors: A 3D Evaluation by F. G. Mangano, F. Luongo, G. Picciocchi, C. Mortellaro, K. B. Park, C. Mangano

“…We have used reverse-engineering software for the superimposition of 3D surface models of the dentogingival structures, obtained from intraoral scans of the same patients taken at the delivery of the final crown (S1) and 2 years later (S2). The assessment of soft tissues changes was performed via calculation of the Euclidean surface distances between the 3D models, after the superimposition of S2 on S1; colour maps were used for quantification of changes. …”

Mechanical Response and Control Measures of Pile Foundations under Close-Range Shield Tunneling in Water-Rich Sandy Pebble Strata by Yanpeng Du, Peng Zhang, Jiabing Zhang

“…During right-side excavation, the bending moment of the pile body exhibits an inverted “S” distribution, while during left-side excavation, it is symmetrically distributed, with the maximum bending moment and axial force occurring at the same buried depth as the tunnel crown. Vertical displacement of the pile body is divided by the horizontal position at the top of the tunnel, with upper pile settlement and lower pile uplift, reaching maximum at the pile top. …”
