Article Synopsis
- The study compares the biomechanical stability of two magnesium alloys (WE43 and ZK60) with titanium (Ti-6Al-4 V) for use in LeFort I osteotomy, analyzing how different configurations respond under stress.
- The results showed that magnesium screws had varying stress levels in bone compared to titanium, with ZK60 plates presenting lower fracture risk and better stability.
- Despite promising stress distribution with magnesium alloys, the overall strength of the screws needs enhancement to be viable for bone fixation applications.
(1) Background: Metastatic L-type sarcomas (liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma) are rare and have a poor prognosis. Trabectedin is an effective agent that can be used after anthracyclines. This study was designed to evaluate the real-life effectiveness and safety of trabectedin.

- Traditional cephalometric radiographs can result in errors because they represent 3D structures in a 2D format, while cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers clearer, distortion-free images.
- This study compared artificial intelligence-enhanced low-dose CBCT images to traditional and standard CBCT cephalograms using a sample of 16 participants.
- The results showed that while most measurements were comparable across the groups, low-dose CBCT demonstrates potential for efficient dentofacial analysis, indicating a need for more research into AI technologies in dental imaging.
The aim of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy of a poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)-coated magnesium (Mg)-Dysprosium (Dy) membrane in guided bone regeneration (GBR) using a rabbit calvarium model. The microstructure of the Mg-Dy membrane surface and thickness of the PLLA coating were examined. In vitro degradation and cytotoxicity test was conducted.

- - The study aimed to optimize CAD/CAM custom implants for mandibular bone defects and compare the biocompatibility and osseointegration of machined titanium, SLA titanium, and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) implants.
- - Researchers hypothesized that SLA titanium would show the best osseointegration and prevent bone atrophy when placed in the gonial angle defect.
- - Results indicated that while all implants were biocompatible, SLA titanium outperformed the others in osseointegration and minimal soft tissue reactions, making it the preferred choice for facilitating bone regeneration and long-term stability.
