Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how wall thickness impacts the fracture load of 3D printed hollow zirconia teeth.
- Different wall thicknesses (0.30, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 mm) were tested, with results showing that thicker walls (≥0.75 mm) had a greater fracture resistance.
- Filling hollow teeth with resin significantly improved their strength, especially in thinner designs, highlighting the importance of wall thickness and material in dental applications.
Article Synopsis
- Telepathology and digital pathology are new tech that use AI to help doctors and vets share information, learn, and diagnose diseases more accurately.
- Machine learning is proving to be very effective, sometimes even better than human doctors at finding problems in samples.
- The study dives into both the good and bad sides of using AI in these fields and stresses how important it is for real doctors to be involved in using this technology.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different wall thicknesses of 3D-printed hollow zirconia teeth influence their shape accuracy.
- Data was collected on teeth with varying wall thicknesses (0.30 to 1.00 mm) and angular deviations were measured.
- Results indicated that a minimum wall thickness of 0.5 mm is necessary to achieve acceptable shape accuracy, with thinner walls showing significantly larger measurement deviations.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of undercut depths on abutment teeth regarding the retentive force of clasps fabricated through selective laser melting (SLM), and to compare them with conventional cast clasps.
Methods: Akers clasps made of cobalt chromium alloy were fabricated using the SLM method (SLM), and the retentive forces were compared with clasps made with the conventional cast method (Cast). Three undercut amounts (0.
