Ranking Technologies of Additive Manufacturing of Removable Complete Dentures by the Results of Their Mechanical Testing.

In this study, a methodology was developed for ranking manufacturing technologies of removable complete dentures (RCDs) according to the results of their full-scale mechanical tests. The actuality of the study is motivated by establishing the advantages and drawbacks of 3D-printed RCDs in contrast with ones manufactured via an analog protocol. The RCDs were fabricated via four technological routes that included various combinations of subtractive technologies (hot polymerization/HP and CAD/CAM milling) and additive manufacturing (digital light processing/DLP) ones and the installation of commercially available cosmetic denture teeth (DT).

Dental Material Selection for the Additive Manufacturing of Removable Complete Dentures (RCD).

This research addresses the development of a formalized approach to dental material selection (DMS) in manufacturing removable complete dentures (RDC). Three types of commercially available polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) grades, processed by an identical Digital Light Processing (DLP) 3D printer, were compared. In this way, a combination of mechanical, tribological, technological, microbiological, and economic factors was assessed.

Algorithm for Designing a Removable Complete Denture (RCD) Based on the FEM Analysis of Its Service Life.

(1) Background: The paper addresses the computer simulation and prediction of the service life of the base of removable complete dentures (RCDs) under typical loads caused by biting and chewing food. For this purpose, the finite element method (FEM) was used. It is assumed that various blocks of teeth, such as incisors, canines, premolars and molars, are subjected to cyclic impacts during a human life.

Ni-Doped Ordered Nanoporous Carbon Prepared from Chestnut Wood Tannins for the Removal and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue.

In this work, Ni-doped ordered nanoporous carbon was prepared by a simple and green one-pot solvent evaporation induced self-assembly process, where chestnut wood tannins were used as a precursor, Pluronic F-127 as a soft template, and Ni as a crosslinking agent and catalytic component. The prepared carbon exhibited a 2D hexagonally ordered nanorod array mesoporous structure with an average pore diameter of ~5 nm. Nickel was found to be present on the surface of nanoporous carbon in the form of nickel oxide, nickel hydroxide, and metallic nickel.

[Colonization activity of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms and features of biofilm formation on the surface of thermoplastic polymer material].

The Purpose Of The Study: Was to assess the microbial colonization and biofilm-forming activity of conditionally pathogenic microorganisms in vitro to samples of acrylic-free thermoplastic polymer material and to assess the possibility of its use for the manufacture of removable tooth splinting structures by injection method.

Materials And Methods: The reference strains . Biofilm-forming activity was assessed by the level of ethanol extraction of a 0.
