Compatibility of selected dental alloys with magnetic resonance imaging
Linetskiy, Igor ; Hubálková, Hana (advisor) ; Suchánek, Jakub (referee) ; Dostálová, Taťjana (referee)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of the up-to-date and perspective methods of diagnostic medical imaging. It is highly valued for absence of ionizing radiation, non-invasiveness, acquiring of highly accurate images of hard and especially soft tissues in any plane. It is a method of choice in central nervous system imaging. Nowadays it is used in diagnostics of other diseases in the maxillofacial area. The major shortcoming of MRI is interaction of magnetic fields of MRI system with metallic objects present in human body. As a result, this may lead to their heating, movement, and also to imaging artifacts. Since different metallic constructions (fixed bridges, dental implants, splints, plates, orthodontic appliances, etc.) are often used in the contemporary dentistry, the problem of their compatibility with MRI is relevant. The aim of this study was to validate the compatibility of dental alloys with MRI, classify the materials according to the degree of compatibility and to establish the range of their possible negative impact on quality of MRI in head and neck area. In order to find dental metals and alloys, General Health Insurance Company code- list, catalogues of manufacturers' and Prague dental labs were used. Measurement methods of magnetic susceptibility (MS), electric conductivity...

Influence of the occlusal plane inclination on the functional condition of the orofacial region .
Yurchenko, Maksim ; Hubálková, Hana (advisor) ; Németh, Tibor (referee) ; Jenča, Andrej (referee)
The functioning of maxillofacial complex as a one unit is an important condition of fulfilling several functions connected with this area of human body. A maxillofacial region and other parts of the body are connected through occlusion, one of the basic characteristics of which is occlusal plane. According to the number of researchers, 3D orientation of occlusal plane, its shape and possible deformation can have an influence on other anatomic structures via a system of a complex neuromuscular reactions. This theory assumes that the adjustment of occlusal plane inclination causes redistribution and redirection of the chewing forces in the adjacent structures which will subsequently manifest itself in the adjustment of the tension of different muscles. Aim The aim of an experimental part of the research was to define the influence of occlusal plane inclination on the function of maxillofacial region with the focus of jaw joints and chewing muscles. The next goal was to determine the figures of sagittal and frontal inclination of occlusal plane which can be considered as physiological. Patients and Methods The research was based on the examination of 87 people of both genders, different age groups with a complete set of teeth and without chronic diseases. The participants were divided in two groups...
