Non-Contact Thermometer for Improved Air Temperature Measurements.

A compact thermometer for air temperature based on the measurement of the speed of sound was developed at INRIM. This paper focuses on the comparison of this instrument with platinum resistance thermometers in a climatic chamber over a temperature range (-30 ÷ +55) °C, relative humidity (10 ÷ 90)%rh, and irradiation (>1 kW/m) values similar to those of surface atmospheric conditions. Overall uncertainty values of 0.

Calibration Uncertainty of Non-Catching Precipitation Gauges.

Precipitation is among the most important meteorological variables for, e.g., meteorological, hydrological, water management and climate studies.

Minimally invasive digital implant-prosthetic procedure in "all on 4" rehabilitation in patients with special needs: a three-year follow-up.

The present study describes an innovative procedure for resolving implant-prosthetic cases in patients with edentulous special needs. In 2017 a 56-year-old female patient came to the Department of Dentistry of Vita-Salute San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, Italy, requiring implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of the dental arches given the difficulty in wearing removable prostheses. The first level radiological examinations were evaluated, two technical photographs were taken with specific reference, the 2D Digital Smile Design (Smile Design) was then carried out, the provisional prosthesis was performed and the CBCT requested with repere and provisional prostheses to realize the computerized implant project and an atraumatic flapless guided surgery.

Traditional prosthetic workflow for implant rehabilitations with a reduced number of fixtures: proposal of a protocol.

The aim of this study was to describe a standardized protocol for the creation of a definitive prosthetic rehabilitation supported by a reduced number of implants, achievable with a limited number of an optimized appointments. The proposed protocol provides only for 4 appointments to finalize the set work. During the first appointment, definitive impressions are taken in order to obtain the master models and plaster bars.

Computer-assisted prosthetic planning and implant design with integrated digital bite registration: a treatment protocol.

The aim of this clinical study is to present an integrated digital project through the description of a clinical case, made entirely in digitized form, taking advantage of the opportunity offered by instrumental diagnostic software. A case report participant is a 65-year-old female patient presents with loss of diffuse bone support, caused by periodontal disease. After a sign of an informed consent and an explication of a plan of treatment, technical intraoral and extraoral pictures and intraoral digital impressions were taken.
