Additive manufacturing trueness and internal fit of crowns in resin modified with a commercially available ceramic composite concentrate.

Statement Of Problem: Inorganic fillers can be incorporated into additively manufactured (AM) resins to improve their properties, and a ceramic composite concentrate has been recently marketed for this purpose. However, knowledge on the printability of AM resins modified with this concentrate is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the manufacturing trueness and internal fit of AM crowns in a dental resin modified with a commercially available ceramic composite concentrate.

Can nonhazardous postprocessing cleaning solutions enable adequate surface properties for printed dental casts in different resins?

Statement Of Problem: Printed casts and dental devices and prostheses are increasingly being used, and the ecological impact of additive manufacturing should be considered in addition to the fabrication accuracy and surface properties of the printed object. To overcome the ecological drawbacks of alcohol postprocessing, water-washable, 3-dimensionally (3D) printable cast resins and postprocessing cleaning solutions that do not include alcohol have been introduced. However, whether using only water rather than chemical solvents would enable the surface smoothness and hardness required for accurate diagnostic and prosthetic procedures is unknown.

Improving the Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Fermented Milks with Exopolysaccharides-Producing Strains.

Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) producing lactic acid bacteria have been claimed to confer various health benefits to the host, including the ability to face oxidative and inflammatory-related stress. This study investigated the ability of food-borne () to improve the antioxidant activity of fermented milks by producing EPSs. Two strains, selected as lower and higher EPSs producers, have been applied in lab-scale fermented milk production, in combination with conventional starters.

Complete Digital Workflow for Fabricating an Occlusal Device Using Artificial Intelligence- Powered Design Software and Additive Manufacturing: A Dental Method.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been expanding into areas that were thought to be reserved for human experts and has a tremendous potential to improve patient care and revolutionize the healthcare field. Recently launched AI-powered dental design solutions enable automated occlusal device design. This article describes a dental method for the complete digital workflow for occlusal device fabrication using two different AIpowered design software programs (Medit Splints and 3Shape Automate) and additive manufacturing.
