Computer-assisted open exposure of palatally impacted canines for orthodontic eruption: A randomized clinical trial.

Objective: This randomized clinical trial aimed to assess the feasibility of computer-assisted open exposure of palatally impacted canines.

Materials And Methods: Patients aged 11-30 years who required orthodontic eruption for the full palatal impaction of their canines were included in this study. Exclusion criteria were psychosocial and dental contraindications of orthodontic treatment, congenital craniofacial disorders, and trauma in the patient's history in the vicinity of the surgical site.

Advancing accuracy in guided implant placement: A comprehensive meta-analysis: Meta-Analysis evaluation of the accuracy of available implant placement Methods.

Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to determine the accuracy of currently available computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) modalities under in vitro conditions and investigate whether these novel techniques can achieve clinically acceptable accuracy.

Data: In vitro studies comparing the postoperative implant position with the preoperative plan were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool For In Vitro Studies (QUIN Tool) and a sensitivity analysis was conducted using funnel plots.

Does implant drill design influence the accuracy of dental implant placement using static computer-assisted implant surgery? An in vitro study.

Background: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the accuracy of implant placement in model surgeries according to the design of the drills (straight drills or step drills) used to finalize the implant bed during pilot-guided static computer-assisted implant surgery (sCAIS).

Methods: Model surgeries were carried out on resin models randomly assigned to three study groups. Virtual planning software (coDiagnostiX 10.

Accuracy of dental implant placement using augmented reality-based navigation, static computer assisted implant surgery, and the free-hand method: An in vitro study.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to compare the accuracy of implant placement in model surgeries carried out by implementation of three different methods.

Methods: An in vitro study was conducted on 3D printed study models randomly assigned to three study groups. In Group 1, model surgeries were assisted by augmented reality (AR)based dynamic navigation (Innooral System, Innoimplant Ltd, Budapest, Hungary).

The α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 4- and 5-related phospholipase Pummelig controls energy storage in .

Triglycerides (TGs) are the main energy storage form that accommodates changing organismal energy demands. In , the TG lipase Brummer is centrally important for body fat mobilization. Its gene () encodes the ortholog of mammalian adipose TG lipase, which becomes activated by α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 5 (ABHD5/CGI-58), one member of the paralogous gene pair, α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 4 () and In , the () gene encodes the single sequence-related protein to mammalian ABHD4/ABHD5 with unknown function.

Comparison of the effect of premolar extraction and non-extraction on the position and developmental changes of the lower third molars.

The aim of the present study was to comprehensively assess the posttreatment effect of premolar extraction versus non-extraction on the position and development of the lower third molars. The sample consisted of 227 patient's pre- and posttreatment panoramic radiographs (53 with four premolar extractions, 174 without extractions). The position and developmental stage of the lower third molars were evaluated by using Pell-Gregory's, Winter's, modified Miloro-DaBell's and Demirjian's classifications, respectively.

Interferon-γ restricts Toxoplasma gondii development in murine skeletal muscle cells via nitric oxide production and immunity-related GTPases.

The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is regularly transmitted to humans via the ingestion of contaminated meat products from chronically infected livestock. This route of transmission requires intracellular development and long-term survival of the parasite within muscle tissue. In this study, we determined the cell-autonomous immunity of mature primary embryonic or C2C12 skeletal muscle cells (SkMCs) to infection with T.

Primary skeletal muscle cells trigger spontaneous Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoite-to-bradyzoite conversion at higher rates than fibroblasts.

Toxoplasma gondii is one of the most common eukaryotic parasites and an important opportunistic pathogen of humans. The interconversion from proliferative tachyzoites into quiescent encysted bradyzoites plays pivotal roles in the lifelong persistence of T. gondii in its host and the pathogenesis of toxoplasmosis.
