Evaluation on a teaching software for removable partial denture framework design.
Technol Health Care
October 2023
Article Synopsis
- Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are commonly used dental prosthetics, and the study aimed to assess how design software influences preclinical teaching of RPDs.
- Using Unreal Engine, researchers created teaching software and divided 131 stomatology students into three groups: traditional, flipped classroom, and software-based learning for evaluating RPD design skills.
- Results showed that while overall theoretical knowledge scores were similar across groups, the software group performed significantly better in design tasks and reported higher levels of engagement, with most students finding the software effective for visualizing and understanding RPD concepts.
Injury to lower genitourinary (GU) tissues, which may result in either infertility and/or organ dysfunctions, threatens the overall health of humans. Bioactive agent-based regenerative therapy is a promising therapeutic method. However, strategies for spatiotemporal delivery of bioactive agents with optimal stability, activity, and tunable delivery for effective sustained disease management are still in need and present challenges.

Semen parameters, including sperm kinetics, morphology, and DNA fragmentation index (DFI), were reviewed from 2952 men. Samples were divided into six age groups (≤25 years, 26-30 years, 31-35 years, 36-40 years, 41-45 years, and >45 years) and were divided into six groups according to different abstinence time (2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, and 7 days).

March 2021
Objective: This study aims to measure and analyze the lip and tooth dynamic esthetic characteristics at rest and during speech in order to provide a reference for its esthetic design and restoration among the Hani and Han populations in Yunnan Province, China.
Methods: Subjects of Hani and Han ethnicity in Yunnan were selected using multistage stratified sampling and inclusive criteria. The lip and tooth dynamic esthetic characteristics of the subjects at rest and during the pinyin pronunciation of "me", "yi", "fu", and "si" were recorded using digital photography and analyzed with computer software.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the thickness of porcelain layers and the underlying substrate affect the color properties and translucency of IPS e.max LT porcelain laminate veneers designed to cover tetracycline stained teeth.
- Various thickness combinations (both core and veneer) were tested under different backgrounds, with specific measurements of color differences and translucency parameters taken using a spectrophotometer.
- Results indicated that increased thickness generally improved color matching and translucency, but thickness impacts varied depending on the substrate, with significant distinctions found across different thickness combinations.
[Clinical study of complete dentures supported by two endosteal magnetic-attachment implants].

Objective: To evaluate treatment outcomes of mandibular complete denture supported by two endosteal magnetic-attachment implants in edentulous patients with severe mandibular alveolar ridge absorption.
Methods: Eight edentulous patients with severe mandibular alveolar ridge absorption were chosen. Each of them was treated with a complete denture supported by two CDIC implants.
