Abstract. The amount and the phase of cold-season precipitation accumulating in the upper Saint John River (SJR) basin are critical factors in determining spring runoff, ice jams, and flooding. To study the impact of winter and spring storms on the snowpack in the upper SJR basin, the Saint John River Experiment on Cold Season Storms (SAJESS) was conducted during winter–spring 2020–2021. Here, we provide an overview of the SAJESS study area, field campaign, and data collected. The upper SJR basin represents 41 % of the entire SJR watershed and encompasses parts of the US state of Maine and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick. In early December 2020, meteorological instruments were co-located with an Environment and Climate Change Canada station near Edmundston, New Brunswick. This included a separate weather station for measuring standard meteorological variables, an optical disdrometer, and a micro rain radar. This instrumentation was augmented during an intensive observation period that also included upper-air soundings, surface weather observations, a multi-angle snowflake camera, and macrophotography of solid hydrometeors throughout March and April 2021. During the study, the region experienced a lower-than-average snowpack that peaked at ∼ 65 cm, with a total of 287 mm of precipitation (liquid-equivalent) falling between December 2020 and April 2021, a 21 % lower amount of precipitation than the climatological normal. Observers were present for 13 storms during which they conducted 183 h of precipitation observations and took more than 4000 images of hydrometeors. The inclusion of local volunteers and schools provided an additional 1700 measurements of precipitation amounts across the area. The resulting datasets are publicly available from the Federated Research Data Repository at https://doi.org/10.20383/103.0591 (Thompson et al., 2023). We also include a synopsis of the data management plan and a brief assessment of the rewards and challenges of conducting the field campaign and utilizing community volunteers for citizen science.
Modeling and evaluating the effects of irrigation on land–atmosphere interaction in southwestern Europe with the regional climate model REMO2020–iMOVE using a newly developed parameterization

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Irrigation is a crucial land use practice to adapt agriculture to unsuitable climate and soil conditions. Aiming to improve the growth of plants, irrigation modifies the soil condition, which causes atmospheric effects and feedbacks through land–atmosphere interaction. These effects can be quantified with numerical climate models, as has been done in various studies. It could be shown that irrigation effects, such as air temperature reduction and humidity increase, are well understood and should not be neglected on local and regional scales. However, there is a lack of studies including the role of vegetation in the altered land–atmosphere interaction. With the increasing resolution of numerical climate models, these detailed processes have a chance to be better resolved and studied. This study aims to analyze the effects of irrigation on land–atmosphere interaction, including the effects and feedbacks of vegetation. We developed a new parameterization for irrigation, implemented it into the REgional climate MOdel (REMO2020), and coupled it with the interactive MOsaic-based VEgetation module (iMOVE). Following this new approach of a separate irrigated fraction, the parameterization is suitable as a subgrid parameterization for high-resolution studies and resolves irrigation effects on land, atmosphere, and vegetation. Further, the parameterization is designed with three different water application schemes in order to analyze different parameterization approaches and their influence on the representation of irrigation effects. We apply the irrigation parameterization for southwestern Europe including the Mediterranean region at a 0.11∘ horizontal resolution for hot extremes. The simulation results are evaluated in terms of the consistency of physical processes. We found direct effects of irrigation, like a changed surface energy balance with increased latent and decreased sensible heat fluxes, and a surface temperature reduction of more than −4 K as a mean during the growing season. Further, vegetation reacts to irrigation with direct effects, such as reduced water stress, but also with feedbacks, such as a delayed growing season caused by the reduction of the near-surface temperature. Furthermore, the results were compared to observational data, showing a significant bias reduction in the 2 m mean temperature when using the irrigation parameterization.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Atmospheric reanalyses combine observations and models through data assimilation techniques to provide spatio-temporally continuous fields of key surface variables. They can do so for extended historical periods whilst ensuring a coherent representation of the main Earth system cycles. ERA5 and its enhanced land surface component, ERA5-Land, are widely used in Earth system science and form the flagship products of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) of the European Commission. Such land surface modelling frameworks generally rely on a state variable called leaf area index (LAI), representing the number of leaves in a grid cell at a given time, to quantify the fluxes of carbon, water and energy between the vegetation and the atmosphere. However, the LAI within the modelling framework behind ERA5 and ERA5-Land is prescribed as a climatological seasonal cycle, neglecting any interannual variability and the potential consequences that this uncoupling between vegetation and atmosphere may have on the surface energy balance and the climate. To evaluate the impact of this mismatch in LAI, we analyse the corresponding effect it has on land surface temperature (LST) by comparing what is simulated to satellite observations. We characterise a hysteretic behaviour between LST biases and LAI biases that evolves differently along the year depending on the background climate. We further analyse the repercussions for the reconstructed climate during more extreme conditions in terms of LAI deviations, with a specific focus on the 2003, 2010 and 2018 heat waves in Europe for which LST mismatches are exacerbated. We anticipate that our results will assist users of ERA5 and ERA5-Land data in understanding where and when the larger discrepancies can be expected, but also guide developers towards improving the modelling framework. Finally, this study could provide a blueprint for a wider benchmarking framework for land surface model evaluation that exploits the capacity of LST to integrate the effects of both radiative and non-radiative processes affecting the surface energy.
Surging of a Hudson Strait-scale ice stream: subglacial hydrology matters but the process details mostly do not
Authors: Drew Matthew , Tarasov Lev
Published: December 2023

Abstract. While subglacial hydrology is known to play a role in glacial dynamics on sub-annual to decadal scales, it remains unclear whether subglacial hydrology plays a critical role in ice sheet evolution on centennial or longer timescales. Furthermore, several drainage systems have been inferred, but it is unclear which is most applicable at the continental/glacial scale. More fundamentally, it is even unclear if the structural choice of subglacial hydrology truly matters for this context. Here we compare the contribution to the surge behaviour of an idealized Hudson Strait-like ice stream from three subglacial hydrology systems. We use the newly updated BAsal Hydrology Model – BrAHMs2.0 – and provide model verification tests. BrAHMs2.0 incorporates two process-based representations of inefficient drainage dominant in the literature (linked cavity and poro-elastic) and a non-mass-conserving zero-dimensional form (herein termed leaky bucket) coupled to an ice sheet systems model (the Glacial Systems Model, GSM). The linked-cavity and poro-elastic configurations include an efficient drainage scheme while the leaky bucket does not. All three systems have a positive feedback on ice velocity, whereby faster basal velocities increase melt supply. The poro-elastic and leaky-bucket systems have diagnostic effective pressure relationships – only the linked-cavity system has an additional negative feedback, whereby faster basal ice velocities increase the dynamical effective pressure due to higher cavity opening rates. We examine the contribution of mass transport, efficient drainage, and the linked-cavity negative feedback to surging. We also assess the likely bounds on poorly constrained subglacial hydrology parameters and adopt an ensemble approach to study their impact and interactions within those bounds. We find that subglacial hydrology is an important system inductance for realistic ice stream surging but that the three formulations all exhibit similar surge behaviour within parametric uncertainties. Even a detail as fundamental as mass-conserving transport of subglacial water is not necessary for simulating a full range of surge frequency and amplitude. However, one difference is apparent: the combined positive and negative feedbacks of the linked-cavity system yield longer duration surges and a broader range of effective pressures than its poro-elastic and leaky-bucket counterparts.

Nuevos sones antiguos. El Llibre de tons de Ioseph Vilamur, una fuente desconocida de música ibérica para guitarra del siglo XVII
Authors: Sevilla Francisco Alfonso Valdivia
Published: December 2023

El “Llibre de tons de Ioseph Vilamur” es un manuscrito misceláneo de origen catalán que contiene letras para cantar con acompañamiento rasgueado y música en estilo punteado para guitarra de cinco órdenes. Mientras que los tonos se ajustan al canon habitual de la cifra catalana, el extenso corpus de música punteada está plagado de errores y refleja un uso muy amateur, posiblemente al dictado de un maestro particular. Además de los sones de danza y baile frecuentes en fuentes ibéricas en la segunda mitad del siglo XVII, como chaconas, folías, marizápalos o gran duques, contiene un significativo número de géneros nada habituales que se hayan presentes también en otras fuentes catalanas de la misma época, como el manuscrito de la Universitat de Barcelona y los manuscritos de arpa Escornalbou y Senorami
La grabación como obra: el depósito legal de grabaciones sonoras en la Biblioteca Nacional de España
Authors: López Lorenzo María Jesús
Published: December 2023

La colección de grabaciones sonoras de la Biblioteca Nacional de España tiene su origen en el Decreto del Ministerio de Educación de 13 de octubre de 1938, sobre el Depósito Legal, en la que se legisla, por primera vez, que «las obras musicales y las piezas de gramófono sean objeto de Depósito Legal» y se establece que el productor fonográfico sea el responsable de depositar los discos para su conservación. Por este motivo, ya desde la época de la Guerra Civil española, el legislador incluye a las grabaciones sonoras, como obras que deben ser recopiladas y custodiadas para formar parte del patrimonio cultural y documental español. A esta primera legislación le irán sucediendo otras leyes de Depósito legal, que han permitido que el catálogo de grabaciones sonoras de la Biblioteca Nacional sea un fiel reflejo de la edición fonográfica española.

Authors: TADEVOSYAN ZOYA , MKRTCHYAN HAMLET
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic spread has proven that a single state, institution or
person cannot tackle such intricate and entwined economic, environmental, social and
technical problems. The pandemic, in particular, accelerated the necessity of
governments to make systemic changes, which have been evident before its start. The
time to restore trust in policies and make decisive choices is fast approaching, as the
urgency of re-prioritizing and reforming systems continues worldwide.
The main directions and peculiarities of the anti-crisis measures of many
developed and developing countries and the impact of several crises on the leading
macroeconomic indicators of the selected countries have been studied and presented in
the paper.
A comparative analysis of macroeconomic indicators with the countries that have
developed, developing and transition economies, such as the United States of America,
Canada, Japan, Australia, China, India, Brazil, neighboring countries of Armenia and
EAEU member- states was carried out. All of that allowed us to identify the
effectiveness of their implementation mechanisms and evaluate the tangible economic
results.

Գինու հայկական բրենդի առաջմղումը ոգելից խմիչքների միջազգային շուկայում / Promoting Armenian Wine Brands in International Beverage Market
Authors: ISKAJYAN SIMON
Published: December 2023

The paper explores the importance and
methodology of brand promotion in international markets. The
Armenian wine brand acts as an object of research, and the
subject is the branding of Armenian wine in international markets.
The importance of the research is determined by the great
potential of Armenian wine and the growing demand for wine and
wine-based products in international markets. For organizations
producing wine and other wine-based products, establishment in
international markets is quite a difficult and costly process, with
results often expected over decades. This circumstance is a
primary obstacle for brand development in international markets.
Nevertheless, the Armenian wine brand has huge opportunities
for development in international markets. The regions of North
America and South Asia, where consumers' demands and
preferences for wine are growing at a tremendous pace, are
particularly inclusive markets. The promotion of the Armenian
brand in international markets is possible only with the use of
systematic branding by the state and trade organizations that
produce wine, and other stakeholders of the field. Based on the
objective of the paper, the study incorporates a review of the
works of contemporary Armenian and foreign authors on the
subject. The analysis employs a range of research methods,
including comparative, observational, statistical, inductive and
deductive approaches.

Food service management requires 3 main cost components, namely food costs, labor costs, and overhead costs. The preparation of food costs has an impact on the quality of food and the nutritional content in each serving. At Catering X Cirebon, food financing prioritizes low prices, but still pays attention to the variety of meals with four choices of animal side dishes. The purpose of this study is to analyze the cost and nutritional content contained in the employee menu at Catering X. Research methods used are descriptive quantitative with data collection techniques using interviews and food weighing to determine portion standards. This study was conducted on 11th until 21st April 2022 during Ramadan. All data was collected from the population in this study with a total of 9 employees. Based on the results of the study, the entire employee menu served by Jasaboga X has not met the standards for fulfilling sahoor nutrition for workers. However, the low price strategy that has been set can meet commercial benefits and can still provide a variety of balanced nutritional foods, namely staple foods (rice), animal side dishes with 4 choices per day, vegetable side dishes, vegetables, and fruit. The advice that can be given by researchers in this study is that it is necessary to make portion standards starting from rice preparation, cutting vegetable and animal side dishes, vegetables, and fruit cutting to meet 40% of employee feeding standards.Suatu penyelenggaraan makanan memerlukan 3 komponen biaya utama yaitu biaya bahan (food cost), biaya tenaga kerja (labor cost), dan biaya overhead.

We present a Reduced Order Method approach to the heat exchange and loses in a simulated 3D cavity of CSP tower receivers. We validate the method in a 2D Boussinesq model problem for natural convection monitoring temperature, pressure and velocity for different values of the Rayleigh number. For the 3D problem of heat loses estimation we compute the snapshots with Ansys Fluent in a realistic model of a cavity with wind velocity and wall temperatures as varying parameters. The reduction in computational time can be up to four orders of magnitude with relative errors of 10^-5.

Published: December 2023

Solar heat for industrial processes (SHIP) is becoming one of the most attractive solutions for industry decarbonisation. Solar plants require a complex control system to manage the fluctuation of their source, solar radiation. One of the problems of this system is the possibility of overheating when solar production is greater than consumption. The main objective of this study was to design a defocus controller for the SunDial, the rotatory Fresnel collector. A dynamic simulation was carried out for a SHIP system with the defocus controller. Finally, a solution to satisfy the accuracy needed for the SunDial was presented.

Authors: Balan Valerian , Sarban Vasile
Published: December 2023

Pruning is a basic procedure in the sweet cherry trees cultivation, which significantly affects the yield and quality of the fruit. The objective of this study was to examine the influence of the pruning time on the biological properties of sweet cherry trees (Prunus avium L.). The orchard in which the research was carried out was established in the central area of the Republic of Moldova in the fall of 2012. The Kordia and Regina sweet cherries, grafted on MaxMa 14, whose crowns had a naturally improved reduced volume, were planted at a distance of 5 x 3 m. The maintenance and fruiting pruning of the sweet cherry trees were done during the dormant and vegetation phases as follows. The flowering and fruit ripening time, the trunk cross-sectional area (TCSA), the number of fruiting buds and the fruit weight and yield were studied. The results showed that the pruning time had had a significant impact on the yield. The data on the yield of the Kordia and Regina sweet cherry varieties grafted on MaxMa 14 are promising and prove that the pruning done in the first decade of September has a positive effect on the fruit yield.

Published: December 2023

The paper presents some viticultural centers in Oltenia, where viticulture, once well-represented, has seen a decline in terms of cultivated areas and interest in using grape production through winemaking (e.g., Brabova, Brădești, Plenița). The paper aimed to highlight the history of the place, the evolution of vineyards in the area, as well as recent activities focused on the capitalization of the economic potential of the localities that are the viticultural centers. With the launch of the Wine Route concept, tourist interest in wine-producing and historical areas has increased, especially since wine tourism offers interesting experiences through wine tastings, gastronomic dishes, and the beauty of the places. For this reason, the long-term tourism development of the Oltenia region should also consider oenotourism resources, which ensure the diversification of the local economy and the creation of new job opportunities for the community, with an impact on improving the quality of life for residents.

A Comparative Study of Fire and Water Metaphor in COVID-19 Reports in Chinese and English
Authors: Luo Na , Jiang Xiangyong
Published: December 2023

The outbreak of COVID-19 came suddenly at the end of 2019, and soon swept the world. People used war metaphor, journey metaphor, water metaphor, fire metaphor etc. to conceptualize COVID-19. This paper aims to compare the universality and variation of the use of water and fire metaphors on COVID-19 reports in Chinese and English websites, by resorting to MIP for quantitative data collection from the People’s Daily Corpus and The Coronavirus Corpus, trying to explore the universality and variation of metaphors for COVID-19. From the perspective of resonance value, the situation of the water and fire metaphors of the epidemic in English and Chinese is entirely similar, and the difference in the water metaphor is greater than that of fire metaphor. The variation is reflected in the selection and distribution of keywords. The roots of these differences can be attributed to the characteristics and structures of the two cultures themselves, as well as the national ideology and emotional attitudes towards the same worldwide event. Therefore, with regards to the style and connotation of metaphorical expression, Chinese tends to use static descriptions that portray the atmosphere and emphasize the subjective initiative of people, while English tends to rely on dynamic depictions that state objectively and illustrate the resistance of the epidemic.

品牌形象是消費者記憶中所喚回對該產品的意象，知覺價值是消費者對產品整體效用的評價，品牌忠誠度是指消費者以回購或其他方式繼續使用或支持某個品牌，更反復表現購買支持某一品牌的產品或服務的積極行為，甚至以口口相傳的方式向別人宣傳這個品牌。7-ELEVEN以『整個城市就是我的咖啡館』，進入許多產值的咖啡市場。CITY CAFÉ利用門市據點的優勢，塑造咖啡故事行銷，在知名代言人及密集的廣告下，打造出 CITY CAFÉ的品牌傳奇，因此本研究將以CITYCAFÉ為研究的主題。以CITY CAFÉ消費者為調查對象，以結構方程模式探討品牌形象、知覺價值與品牌忠誠度之間的關係。整體而言，品牌形象對知覺價值、知覺價值對品牌忠誠度均有直接正向影響，但是品牌形象對品牌忠誠度的影響不顯著。

 

Brand image is consumers’ general perception and impression of a brand (Herzog, 1963). It is consumers’ perception of a product’s total attributes (Newman, 1985). It is consumers’ general impression of the product or service (Dichter, 1985). Perceived value is the worth that a product or service has in the mind of the consumer and the consumer’s perceived value of a good or service affects the price that he or she is willing to pay for it (Lv, Wu, Huang, and Zhu, 2015). Brand Loyalty consists of a consumer’s commitment to repurchase or continue to use the brand. It can be demonstrated by repeated buying of a product, service, or other positive behaviors such as word of mouth advocacy. (Dick & Basu, 1994). 7-Eleven enters the coffee market which creates lots of output values every year with the slogan "The whole city is my cafe". CITY CAFÉ makes use of the advantage of the store base to shape the coffee story marketing, and creates the brand legend of CITY CAFÉ under the well-known spokesperson and intensive advertisements. Therefore, this research will take CITY CAFÉ as the research topic. Taking CITY CAFÉ consumers as the survey objects, the structural equation model is used to explore the relationship between brand image, perceived value and brand loyalty. Overall, brand image has a direct positive impact on perceived value and perceived value has a direct positive impact on brand loyalty, but the impact of brand image on brand loyalty is not significant.

Authors: LOZER Priscila Endlich , ROSÁRIO Denes Kaic Alves , SÃO JOSÉ Jackline Freitas Brilhante de
Published: December 2023

Labeling is an important tool used to provide consumers with information about food products in compliance with health regulations. The aim of this study was to investigate the compliance of labels associated with pickled vegetable products produced by rural family agroindustries in the Serrana Region, Espírito Santo State, Brazil, with the Brazilian sanitary surveillance legislation. Secondary data from the State Food Monitoring Program developed by Espírito Santo State’s sanitary surveillance agency were herein used. Collected data were systematized into a legislation-based checklist comprising 108 items that were divided into 8 blocks, namely, General principles, Language, Mandatory information, Mandatory information presentation and distribution, Voluntary labeling, Gluten, Allergens, and Nutritional labeling of packaged foods. The results were analyzed through descriptive statistics, multivariate data analysis based on the Ward method, and non-hierarchical data analysis based on the K-means method. The minimum and maximum adequacy rates reached 23.1% and 94.3%, respectively, and the mean adequacy rate was 57.1%. The highest non-compliance mean values were linked to nutritional labeling (66.4%), gluten-incidence indication (55.2%), voluntary labeling (56.0%), and mandatory information presentation and distribution (42.8%). All product labels were classified as non-compliant; therefore, the health legislation was not met.

Kombucha is a beverage obtained by fermenting tea with a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeasts. It has been investigated to explore less-used raw materials added to kombucha to partially replace tea and flavor the drink. This influences the sensory characteristics and the concentration of bioactive compounds. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of adding strawberry guava pulp on the total phenolic compound (TPC) content and in vitro antioxidant capacity of kombuchas made with green tea and yerba mate. Thus, it was observed that the fermentative process resulted in increased TPC content in the formulations made with green tea (T1) and with green tea and yerba mate (1:1) (T3). Furthermore, these formulations flavored with strawberry guava pulp presented the highest TPC contents [184.39 and 150.78 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 mL, respectively]. Furthermore, the formulation T1 showed a high antioxidant capacity for ABTS+ and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) methods. On the contrary, the formulation T3 added with strawberry guava pulp showed the highest antioxidant capacity (5.24 µM TEAC/mL) by the ferric reductive antioxidant potential (FRAP) method. Thus, the strawberry guava pulp proved to be a promising alternative for the flavoring and diversification of kombuchas.

Taro [Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott] is an important food source worldwide, as it contains several macro- and micronutrients, standing out as a source of polysaccharides such as starch, mucilage, minerals, and bioactive compounds, including flavonoids. However, taro also contains antinutrients, such as oxalates, which impede its consumption in the fresh form. This critical review addresses the main studies on the physicochemical and nutritional composition of the tuber in fresh, cooked, or flour form, in addition to various food applications, aiming to improve the scientific and industrial visibility of this tuber.

O objetivo nessa revisão da literatura foi avaliar a influência das fontes de luz emitidas por diodo (LEDs) de segunda e terceira geração sobre a dureza de compósitos restauradores. Nas bases de dados PubMed e Google Scholar foram pré-selecionados 239 artigos na língua inglesa entre os anos de 2010 e 2020, utilizando os  termos: lightcuring, LED light sources, and dental LEDs. dos 239 artigos inicialmente selecionados, 37 artigos  foram avaliados devido aos critérios de inclusão/exclusão no estudo. Vários estudos apontaram diferenças importantes na dureza dos compósitos restauradores testados, tanto na superfície de topo quanto na base. No entanto, essas diferenças estavam mais associadas à características como: estado de conservação do LED, irradiância, tempo de ativação, espectro de emissão dos aparelhos e sua compatibilidade ao fotoiniciador presente no compósito. Assim, podemos considerar que o monitoramento das condições do aparelho, e a escolha correta da fonte de luz de acordo com o compósito a ser utilizado são essenciais para maximizar a dureza dos compósitos restauradores, pois embora os aparelhos de terceira geração sejam preferencialmente indicados para compósitos com fotoiniciadores alternativos, os aparelhos que emitem luz azul apresentam vantagens quando o compósito é ativado apenas pela Canforoquinona.
Tampão apical em dentes adjacentes à fissura labiopalatina

Objetivos: Revisar a literatura sobre o uso do tampão apical em dentes com rizogênese incompleta adjacentes às fissuras labiopalatinas, através de buscas nas principais bases de dados nacionais e internacionais usando descritores específicos. Revisão de literatura: a fissura labiopalatina (FLP) é a anomalia congênita mais comum diagnosticada na região craniofacial e resulta de falhas na coalescência anatômica dos processos faciais, entre a 4ª e a 12ª semana da gestação. Dentre outras alterações sistêmicas e locais, as anormalidades dentárias e esqueléticas ocorrem com frequência nas regiões afetadas pela FLP. Em alguns casos, não ocorre a formação completa da raiz dentária e consequentemente do forame apical de dentes adjacentes à FLP. Necrose pulpar e lesões irreversíveis à polpa ocorrem com frequência após processos agressores como cárie e traumatismos dentários e o tratamento endodôntico pode ser necessário. Nestas condições, há o risco de extravasamento do material obturador nos tecidos periapicais, podendo ocorrer reações inflamatórias. Para a realização da adequada obturação pode ser utilizado a manobra do tampão apical que se fundamenta na aplicação de um material biocompatível, geralmente o Agregado Trióxido Mineral (MTA), para vedar a região apical, como uma barreira mecânica, evitando a disseminação de  processos infecciosos que estejam no dente/periápice, preservando adequadamente os dentes e periodonto adjacente à área de FLP. Considerações finais: É necessário difundir conhecimento sobre o tratamento odontológico nos indivíduos com FLP, para que estes tenham mais acesso aos tratamentos adequados, em prol de oferecer mais qualidade na reabilitação bucal.

Objective: The aim of this study was to answer which is the best technique to removing glass fiber post and cast metal post considering time, preservation of tooth structure, and costs. Methods: An in vitro, randomized, blinded study was conducted. Sixty endodontically treated teeth were randomized into two groups according to post type. A second randomization was performed for each type of removal technique (ultrasound, drill, or combined; n=10). One-way ANOVA was used to compare the time to post removal, paired t-test compared the amount of tooth structure removed and Kruskal Wallis followed by post hoc Mann-Whitney test were used for cost analysis (P=0.05). Results: There was no difference in post removal time considering post type or technique (P=0.630). The average loss of tooth structure in the cervical region was greater than 30% when only a diamond bur was used to remove fiber glass post (P<0.00001) and cast metal post (P=0.008). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, we can conclude that the selection of the removal technique will depend on the skill of the operator, and some loss of tooth structure will always occur, although greater loss is expected when only diamond burs are used for this purpose.

Published: December 2023

Objectives: to analyze, through literature review, the available literature on orthodontic treatment in traumatized permanent teeth. Methods: A literature search was performed in electronic databases (PubMed and SciELO) using the descriptors [tooth injuries] OR [injuries, teeth] OR [injury, teeth] OR [teeth injury] OR [injuries, tooth] OR [injury, tooth] OR [tooth injury] OR [teeth injuries] AND [orthodontics]. Observational studies and clinical trials were included, narrative reviews, laboratory and in vitro studies, case reports and series as well as articles that presented abstracts written in languages other than Portuguese, English and Spanish were excluded from the study. Two reviewers considered the eligibility, the risk of bias of the analyzed data and the qualitative synthesis of the studies included. A total of 1,322 references were found and 4 articles met all inclusion criteria and were included in the qualitative analysis. Some consequences like pulp necrosis and root resorption have been highlighted and trauma severity should be considered when orthodontically intervening in previously traumatized teeth. Final considerations: The traumatized teeth can be orthodontically treated as long as the time of tissue reorganization is respected, and the pull and periodontal conditions are followed up.
