Development of a web-based care networking system to support visiting healthcare professionals in the community.

Background: The role of visiting health services has been proven to be effective in promoting the health of older populations. Hence, developing a web system for nurses may help improve the quality of visiting health services for community-dwelling frail older adults. This study was conducted to develop a web application that reflects the needs of visiting nurses.

Evaluation of the color stability of 3D printed resin according to the oxygen inhibition effect and temperature difference in the post-polymerization process.

The aim of this study was to determine the color stability of 3D printed resin according to the post-curing conditions (polymerization conditions and temperature). Specimens were post-polymerized under different conditions of oxygen inhibition, such as on glycerin immersion (GLY), medium-low vacuum environment (VA), and oxygen contact (CON, the control group), and temperature (35 °C, 60 °C, and 80 °C). The degree of conversion (DC), water sorption (W) and solubility (W), surface roughness (Ra) were measured.

Properties of river organic carbon affected by wastewater treatment plants.

Tracking the sources of organic carbon (OC) is critical not only for understanding riverine carbon dynamics but also for providing management options to improve water quality. We collected water samples from upland forest streams to the mainstream Geumho River (GHR) of South Korea, which included a variety of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) effluents. We analyzed the concentrations, optical properties, and dual carbon isotope ratios of these samples to identify the sources of OC.

Effect of abutment shade, ceramic thickness, and coping type on the final shade of zirconia all-ceramic restorations: in vitro study of color masking ability.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of abutment shade, ceramic thickness, and coping type on the final shade of zirconia all-ceramic restorations.

Materials And Methods: Three different types of disk-shaped zirconia coping specimens (Lava, Cercon, Zirkonzahn: ø10 mm × 0.4 mm) were fabricated and veneered with IPS e.

Effect of cement washout on loosening of abutment screws and vice versa in screw- and cement- retained implant-supported dental prosthesis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the abutment screw stability of screw- and cement-retained implant-supported dental prosthesis (SCP) after simulated cement washout as well as the stability of SCP cements after complete loosening of abutment screws.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six titanium CAD/CAM-made implant prostheses were fabricated on two implants placed in the resin models. Each prosthesis is a two-unit SCP: one screw-retained and the other cemented.

In vitro evaluation of resonance frequency analysis values to different implant contact ratio and stiffness of surrounding material.

Purpose: The present study was aimed to evaluate the influence of implant contact ratio and stiffness of implant-surrounding materials on the resonance frequency analysis (RFA) values.

Materials And Methods: Seventy resin blocks that had the different amounts (100, 50, 30, 15%) of resin-implant contact (RIC) were fabricated. Ten silicone putty blocks with 100% silicone-implant contact were also made.

Effect of loading time on the survival rate of anodic oxidized implants: prospective multicenter study.

Purpose: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the effect of early loading on survival rate or clinical parameter of anodic oxidized implants during the 12-month postloading period.

Materials And Methods: Total 69 implants were placed in 42 patients. Anodic oxidized implants (GS II, Osstem Cor.

In vitro evaluation of reverse torque value of abutment screw and marginal opening in a screw- and cement-retained implant fixed partial denture design.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of implant prostheses retained by screws and cement (SCPs) by examining the reverse torque values (RTVs) of the abutment screws and the marginal openings of the implant prostheses.

Materials And Methods: Two implants (3.8 x 13 mm; Camlog Biotechnologies) were embedded in an acrylic resin block 5 mm apart.

Simplified abutment tooth extrusion using a mini-implant.

This is the report of a patient with an anterior four-unit fixed partial denture in whom a screw was used to extrude a too-short abutment tooth. Due to the mini-implant, fewer teeth needed to be bonded, thereby keeping more teeth out of harm's way.
