Clinical indications for the Ti-Zr alloy (Roxolid) mini-implants (MDIs) in subjects with narrow ridges are still under review. The aim was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area strains dependent on the MDI number, splinting status, loading force, and loading position. Six models were digitally designed and printed.

The aim of this study was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area microstrains utilizing models of the mandible mimicking a "real" mouth situation with two (splinted with a bar or as single units) or four unsplinted Ti-Zr MDIs. The models were virtually designed from a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of a convenient patient and printed.

Article Synopsis
- This study presents a detailed examination of the structures of the organic spin liquid κ-(BEDT-TTF)Ag(CN) at room temperature and 100 K, revealing its true triclinic symmetry rather than the previously assumed monoclinic structure.
- The findings indicate that despite identifying two non-equivalent dimers in the unit cell, there is surprisingly no significant charge imbalance between the dimers.
- The research emphasizes the role of the anionic layer and transition metal positioning in symmetry breaking, highlighting its potential but minor effect on the spin-liquid behavior and the influence of various disorders on the material's properties.
Objective: This study evaluated the effects of curing modes on surface microhardness of visible light-cured resin-modified glass ionomer cements (VLC RMGIC) and a giomer after different storage periods in comparison to auto-cured resin-modified glass ionomer cements (AC RMGIC).
Materials And Methods: The following materials were used: VLC RMIC: Fuji II LC Improved, Photac Fil Quick Aplicap, AC RMGIC: Fuji Plus, Fuji VIII and Giomer: Beautifil II. The measurements of microhardness were performed using a Vickers test (100 g loads were applied for 10 s) in the following time intervals: immediately after the recommended cure and after 1, 7 and 14 days of immersion in distilled water.
Objectives: To investigate radiant energy, microhardness, and temperature rise in eight resin composites cured with a blue or violet-blue curing unit, using a curing protocol which exceeded manufacturer recommendations.
Materials And Methods: Cylindrical composite specimens (d = 8 mm, h = 2 or 4 mm, n = 5 per experimental group) were light-cured for 30 s. Light transmittance through specimens was recorded in real time to calculate radiant energy delivered to the specimen bottom.
