Tooth Detection on Jaw 3D Computer Polygonal Model
Hulík, Rostislav ; Španěl, Michal (referee) ; Kršek, Přemysl (advisor)
This document discusses a concept and implementation of algorithms for teeth detection on 3D polygonal jaw model. At first, I describe possible shape detection techniques on three dimensional computer model, including utilization just in my case. After it, I analyze filtration problems of obtained model segments in order to reliably separate regions of tooth-arch from the rest of jaw. I included all these pieces of knowledge into a final application. Here, it is possible to choose from two user interfaces, first, classic user interface which demonstrates possible utilization in real world and second, testing interface which demonstrates functions of each detection and filtration method used in program and their effect on detection. Application is written in C++ language in development environment of MS Visual Studio 2005 and compiled with MS VS internal compiler. Tested was under MS Windows XP and MS Windows Vista OS.

Analysis of teeth and bones by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy
Šindelářová, Anna ; Pořízka,, Pavel (referee) ; Modlitbová, Pavlína (advisor)
The presented diploma thesis deals with the elemental composition of hard tissues – human and murine jaws studied by laser-induced plasma spectroscopy (LIBS). Samples of human teeth contained a disease called ankylosis and the difference in elemental composition of healthy and diseased tissue was observed to localize ankylosis in the tooth. When evaluating the map of the spatial distribution of phosphorus and calcium, a decrease in the concentration of these elements in the ankylosis infected area was observed. Furthermore, murine jaws containing lead were analyzed. When assessing the spatial distribution of lead in tissue, it was found that lead was incorporated in murine teeth in the enamel at the tip of the incisor and molars. In conclusion, LIBS method achieved good results considering the detection of the elemental distribution of hard tissues. It enables to differentiate parts of the tooth in terms of elemental composition and tissue hardness and also to detect changes in the matrix caused by a disease or bioaccumulation of heavy metals.

The level of dental hygiene of top athletes specializing in sports games
JÁŠA, Mikuláš
The field of dental hygiene is a topical issue today and is gaining more and more importance, for all age categories. Especially for athletes who take care of their teeth to prevent injuries. Based on these new findings, this bachelor´s thesis maps the level of knowledge about dental hygiene and adherence to the principles of prevention of oral diseases in professional athletes of three popular sports, namely soccer, ice hockey and volleyball. The bachelor thesis consists of theoretical part, which deals with dental hygine, its history and present, various myths in the field of dental hygiene and special nutritional means that professional athletes use. Part of the theoretical part is also prevention, which has a huge impact on reduction risk of dental caries and thus prevents potentional injuries in athletes related to dental caries. The practical part of the bachelor´s thesis is focused on a questionnaire survey in the field of dental hygiene among the mentioned professional athletes and includes both genders. The evaluated questionnaires are processed into graphs and tables together with a commentary, which testifies to the awereness of dental hygiene in a sample of athletes. Key

Typology and teeth determination of selected mammalian species
Černá, Adéla ; Říhová, Pavla (advisor) ; Pyszko, Martin (referee)
In this bachelor's thesis I am dealing with mammalian teeth. I have focused mainly on the teeth of certain species that are endangered and for which significant levels of illegal trade have been recorded. In selecting the species I focus on, I base my thesis on the analysis of data from the EU-TWIX and CITES Trade Database, which is compiled at the Environmental Forensic Sciences at the Faculty of Science, Charles University. The most endangered species traded include felines, canids and ursids. In this thesis, I mention how teeth can be identified, what an ideal tooth should look like, I describe what a tooth is made of, why teeth are traded at all, what they are used for, and how individual teeth can be confused with other mammal species. I also mention the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species CITES. For this research I have largely used articles from abroad, available on the Web of science. Key words: teeth, mammals, determination

Developmental and structural analysis of similarities among calcified and keratinized tooth structures in mouth of vertebrates
Karpecká, Zuzana ; Černý, Robert (advisor) ; Hovořáková, Mária (referee)
Calcified teeth comprise the hardest vertebrate tissues (enamel and dentine) and they undoubtedly represent a key evolutionary advantage for their users. Nevertheless, teeth have been lost many times and they were often replaced by keratinised structures, such as rhamphoteca of birds or of turtle beaks, or labial tooth structures and scratching laminae of many aquatic vertebrates. This thesis is intended to analyse levels of similarities among keratinised teeth and structures of three phylogenetically distinct lineages of amniotes and to compare them to morphogenesis of true teeth. Detailed developmental and structural characteristics of oral apparatus possessing keratinous teeth of lampreys, Loricarid cathfishes and frog tadpoles were identified and distinguished. Keratinous structures of cathfishes include only horny projections from single cell surface (unculi), whereas in frog tadpoles both horny jaw sheet and unicellular labial teeth composed by cell columns were found; the lamprey oral apparatus consists of multicellular teeth and laminae instead. Disparate phenotypes of these keratinous structures can, however, developmentally derive from a general process of keratinization: morphological disparities arise by distinct gradual accretion of keratinous layers and collumns during development.

Development and dynamics of the palatal and pharyngeal dentition in sterlet
Novotná, Štěpánka ; Soukup, Vladimír (advisor) ; Oralová, Veronika (referee)
Dentition is a key vertebrate innovation showing not only great morphological diversity, but also different maintenance or replacement of functional teeth. Most extant vertebrates replace their dentition through addition of new teeth from deeply invaginated epithelium, i.e. the successional dental lamina, due to presence of dental stem cells. However, in some early branching lineages of ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii), new tooth germs arise from the adjacent superficial epithelium without the presence of the successional dental lamina. Whether the two types of dental development in vertebrates are equivalent and whether comparable dental stem cells play role in tooth replacement is currently not satisfactorily evaluated. This Master thesis aims at describing the development of palatal and pharyngeal dentition of a member of an early branching lineage of ray-finned fishes, the sterlet sturgeon (Acipenser ruthenus). The sterlet dentition is fairly dynamic. The teeth are replaced without the successional dental lamina, however, this replacement shows characteristics similar to those described in vertebrates with the successional dental lamina. A marker of dental stem/progenitor cells, Sox2, is localized in the outer dental epithelium of the predecessor tooth in the vicinity of the adjacent taste...

Modulation of the pharyngeal dentition during the vertebrate evolution
Novotná, Štěpánka ; Soukup, Vladimír (advisor) ; Zahradníček, Oldřich (referee)
Teeth represent a key evolutionary novelty of vertebrates. The dentition of the majority of extant vertebrates is present in the oral cavity associated with jaws and palate and/or in the pharyngeal cavity asscociated with the last pharyngeal arch. The ancestral state of the vertebrate dentition is considered to be presence of teeth through the whole oropharyngeal cavity. This state is however preserved only in few members of extant osteichthyans (for example bichir and latimeria). The other vertebrates gradually lost the pharyngeal dentition. The basal groups of actinopterygians meet the conditions of preservation of the ancestral states and are thus relevant for understanding the initial state in the evolution of vertebrate dentitions. On the other hand, some derived actinopterygian lineages contain members with the most specialized pharyngeal dentitions. This bachelor thesis concentrates on the description of pharyngeal dentitions accross vertebrates and focuses on members of basal actinopterygian lineages (bichir, sturgeon and gar), which from the point of view of dental evolution represent crutial, although neglected animals. Detailed description of pharyngeal dentitions of these animals will form a basis for the upcoming Diploma project. Key words: teeth, dentition, evolution, vertebrates, pharynx
