Effects of autoclaving and disinfection on 3D surgical guides using LCD technology for dental implant.

Background: Surgical guides can improve the precision of implant placement and minimize procedural errors and their related complications. This study aims to determine how different disinfection and sterilization methods affect the size changes of drill guide templates and the mechanical properties of 3D-printed surgical guides made with LCD technology.

Methods: We produced a total of 100 samples.

Design of a new artificial breathing system for simulating the human respiratory activities.

The purpose of this work is the conception and implementation of an artificial active respiratory system that allows the simulation of human respiratory activities. The system consists of two modules, mechanical and electronical. The first one represents a cylindrical lung adjustable in resistance and compliance.
