Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how different surgical guide designs and implant placement locations impact the accuracy of guided implant placement in single edentulous sites.
- 45 models were scanned and divided into three groups based on surgical guide design, with a total of 180 implants placed and evaluated for accuracy using surface scans.
- Results showed that while all guide designs performed satisfactorily, shorter surgical guides had higher accuracy for single implants, while full-arch guides with a crossbar were more effective for placing multiple implants simultaneously.
In this paper, near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and jumping optical tweezers were used to measure the tissue oxygenation and the elasticity of erythrocytes, respectively. The correlation between tissue oxygenation induced by arterial occlusion test (AOT) and the mechanical properties of individual erythrocytes from a blood sample obtained after AOT was studied. The experimental results show a linear correlation between the oxygenation signal caused by AOT and the elasticity of erythrocytes.
