Digital Workflows in Implant Dentistry Utilizing Intraoperative CT Scanning.

Many digital workflows have been utilized in the past few years in the acquisition of implant positions for full arch implant positions intraoperatively and postoperatively. The goal of the different workflows is to offer speed, precision, and predictability. This study outlines the steps for an innovative fully digital full arch workflow that ensures predictable and fast outcomes using digital tools available in most dental implant centers.

Estimation of bottom microplastic flux in the Indonesian seas.

Marine debris, particularly microplastics, is an important environmental problem for Indonesia, impacting vast coastline and diverse marine ecosystems. However, little is known about the microplastics flux to the seafloor in the Indonesian Seas. This study employs HYCOM data and Lagrangian particle tracking model to analyze the distribution of microplastics flux to the seafloor from 68 rivers in Indonesia.

Association between Family Household Income and Cognitive Resilience among Older US Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Cognitive resilience has emerged as a mechanism that may help explain individual differences in cognitive function associated with aging and/or pathology. It is unknown whether an association exists between family income level and cognitive resilience. We performed a cross-sectional study to estimate the relationship between family income level and high cognitive resilience using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) among older adults (age≥60).
