Association between life's essential 8 and male biochemical androgen deficiency: evidence from NHANES 2013-2016.

Purpose: To evaluate the association of Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and its subscales with male biochemical androgen deficiency (MBAD) and total testosterone based on the data from the national health and nutrition examination survey (NHANES) database.

Methods: Data of males aged 20 years or older from NHANES of 2013-2016 were extracted. LE8 score was calculated based on American Heart Association definitions.

Effect of distance between the abutment and the adjacent teeth on intraoral scanning: An in vitro study.

Statement Of Problem: The introduction of intraoral scanners has increased the use of digital technology in dental procedures. However, data on the accuracy of abutment scans according to the distance between the adjacent tooth and the abutment are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the 3D accuracy of abutment scans according to the distance between the adjacent tooth and the abutment.

A method to evaluate the accuracy of dental implant placement without postoperative radiography after computer-guided implant surgery: A dental technique.

This technique allows evaluation of the accuracy of a dental implant's position after computer-guided surgery without postoperative radiography. Once the scanned implant and scan body file were prepared, the position of the placed implant was verified by using a computer-guided implant software program instead of radiography, thus reducing radiation exposure.
