Assessing evidence on the impacts of nature-based interventions for climate change mitigation: a systematic map of primary and secondary research from subtropical and tropical terrestrial regions.

Background: Nature-based interventions (NbIs) for climate change mitigation include a diverse set of interventions aimed at conserving, restoring, and/or managing natural and modified ecosystems to improve their ability to store and sequester carbon and avoid greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Recent projections estimate that terrestrial NbIs can lead to more than one-third of the climate change mitigation necessary to meet the Paris Climate Agreement by 2030. Further, these interventions can provide co-benefits in the form of social and ecological outcomes.

In Vitro Analysis of Bonding and Wear Properties of 3D Printed Denture Tooth Materials.

Purpose: While additive manufacturing (3D printing) has recently enhanced removable prosthodontics, the properties of new 3D printed materials are not well understood. This study aims to elucidate the physical properties of these materials, focusing on bonding to a 3D printed denture base material and wear resistance.

Methods: For denture tooth-denture base bonding analyses, the same denture tooth material (Premium Teeth, Formlabs) was used with three denture base-bonding group assignments (n=6 each group) bonded using three protocols: Group A1 was bonded with Lucitone Digital Print-3D Denture Base using the Lucitone Fuse System (Dentsply), Group A2 with Formlabs Denture Base using the Formlabs Denture Base Bonding System, and Group A3 with Formlabs Denture Base using the Ivoclar Ivotion Bonding System (Ivoclar).

Trueness and precision of complete arch dentate digital models produced by intraoral and desktop scanners: An ex-vivo study.

Objectives: The study aimed to compare the trueness and precision of five intraoral scanners (Emerald S, iTero Element 5D, Medit i700, Primescan, and Trios 4) and two indirect digitization techniques for both teeth and soft tissues on fresh mandibular and maxillary cadaver jaws.

Methods: The maxilla and mandible of a fully dentate cadaver were scanned by the ATOS industrial scanner to create a master model. Then, the specimens were scanned eight times by each intraoral scanner (IOS).

Evaluation of Prosthetic Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction With 3D-Printed Implant-Supported Fixed Prosthesis.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to quantify the number and type of prosthetic complications associated with 3D-printed implant-supported fixed prostheses (3DISFP) and to evaluate patient satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life over a four-month period.

Methods:  Fifteen edentulous patients who underwent implant therapy were included in the study. Each patient received a 3D-printed prosthesis using OnX dental resin.

Accuracy of 3D printed scan bodies for dental implants using two additive manufacturing systems: An in vitro study.

This study compared the accuracy of implant scan bodies printed using stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) technologies to the control (manufacturer's scan body) Scan bodies were printed using SLA (n = 10) and DLP (n = 10) methods. Ten manufacturer's scan bodies were used as control. The scan body was placed onto a simulated 3D printed cast with a single implant placed.
