Impact of Artificial Aging on the Physical and Mechanical Characteristics of Denture Base Materials Fabricated via 3D Printing.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is becoming more prevalent in the dental sector due to its potential to save time for dental practitioners, streamline fabrication processes, enhance precision and consistency in fabricating prosthetic models, and offer cost-effective solutions. However, the effect of aging in artificial saliva of this type of material has not been explored. To assess the physical and mechanical properties of the two types of 3D-printed materials before and after being subjected to artificial saliva, a total of 219 acrylic resin specimens were produced.

Do Implant Coatings Affect Healing of Placed Implants? An Umbrella Review.

Purpose: To analyze the available evidence and assess the effect of different implant coatings on healing outcomes.

Materials And Methods: Using the PICOS strategy, a structured question was formed. A protocol was agreed upon and registered with PROSPERO (no.

Do metal artifact reduction algorithms influence the detection of implant-related injuries to the inferior alveolar canal in CBCT images?

Background: The routine application of dental implants for replacing missing teeth has revolutionized restorative and prosthetic dentistry. However, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) evaluations of structures adjacent to the implants are limited by metal artifacts. There are several methods for reducing metal artifacts, but this remains a challenging task.

Parks, Trails, and Greenways for Physical Activity: A Community Guide Systematic Economic Review.

Introduction: This systematic economic review examined the cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness of park, trail, and greenway infrastructure interventions to increase physical activity or infrastructure use.

Methods: The search period covered the date of inception of publications databases through February 2022. Inclusion was limited to studies that reported cost-benefit or cost-effectiveness outcomes and were based in the U.

Soft tissue simulant materials in X-ray-based imaging in dentomaxillofacial radiology: a scoping review.

Introduction: In in-vitro dental radiographic research, simulation of soft tissue is required to replicate the clinical condition as close as possible. This study aimed to find out which soft tissue simulation material have been studied to use in dentomaxillofacial radiology and showed similarity in radiodensity to the soft tissues of the maxillofacial region.

Methods: In this scoping review, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, Google scholar and PubMed databases were searched on April 9, 2023, considering the following PICOS: Population: soft tissue simulants, Intervention: X-ray-based imaging, Comparison: -, Outcome: properties of the soft tissue simulants, Study design: in-vitro studies.
