Physiology
Bitter taste is mediated by the activation of bitter receptors, which are G protein-coupled and result in an increase in intracellular Ca+2 and subsequent neurotransmitter release, not by the activation of sodium channels as seen in salty taste tr
Periodontics
Equilibration aims to distribute occlusal forces evenly across the dentition to prevent excessive stress on individual teeth, thereby reducing the risk of mobility, wear, and periodontal issues.
Dental Materials
In orthodontics, wires with a high load deflection rate are beneficial in areas where minimal tooth movement is desired, such as in maximum anchorage extraction cases or during finishing.
