Effects of Loading Forces, Loading Positions, and Splinting of Two, Three, or Four Ti-Zr (Roxolid) Mini-Implants Supporting the Mandibular Overdentures on Peri-Implant and Posterior Edentulous Area Strains.

Clinical indications for the Ti-Zr alloy (Roxolid) mini-implants (MDIs) in subjects with narrow ridges are still under review. The aim was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area strains dependent on the MDI number, splinting status, loading force, and loading position. Six models were digitally designed and printed.

Utilizing standard high-resolution graphic computer-to-film process for computer-generated hologram printing.

The computer-generated hologram (CGH) has wide use in many fields but often comes at a high cost due to complex proprietary equipment. For this research, we developed a new robust computational method, and applied and tested common computer-to-film (CtF) technology to create affordable and high-resolution prints of CGHs that can be used primarily in security printing. The proposed method also allows for quick authentication with no need for a complex optical setup, while offering high-level security analysis through a simple yet robust system.
