The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of implant/abutment joint designs on abutment screw loosening in a dental implant system, using nonlinear dynamic analysis of the finite element method (FEM). This finite element simulation study used two dental implant systems: the Ankylos implant system (Degusa Dental, Hanau, German) with a taper joint (taper joint-type model), and the Bränemark implant system (Nobel Biocare, Gothenburg, Sweden) with an external hex joint (external hex joint-type model). The nonlinear dynamic analysis was performed using three-dimensional finite element analysis. In comparing the movement of the taper type-joint model and external hex type-joint model, it was found that the external hex type-joint model had greater movement than the taper type-joint model. The external hex joint-type model showed rotation movement, whereas the movement of the taper joint-type model showed no rotation. It was concluded that the nonlinear dynamic analysis used in this study clearly demonstrated the differences in rotation of components in dental implant systems with taper or external hex joints.

Article Synopsis
- Higher olefins (HO) are important chemicals used to make various products including plastics, lubricants, and detergents, and their developmental toxicity was studied for regulatory purposes.
- Five specific HO were tested on pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats at different doses (0, 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg bw/day) to assess their effects from Day 3 to Day 19 of gestation.
- The studies found no significant maternal or fetal toxicity from HO, with a No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) of 1000 mg/kg bw/day, indicating safety for both mother and fetus at this dose.
Radioactivity Levels and Heavy Metal Concentration in Mining Areas in Zacatecas, Mexico.

The state of Zacatecas (Mexico) is one of the places most affected by pollution from the mining industry. A total of 21 samples from two areas were collected (6 samples from zone A and 15 samples from zone B) to evaluate the level of radioactivity and the degree of contamination with heavy metals. The activity concentration for U and Th was within typical values but that of Ra exceeded the value of 60 Bq kg in both areas.

This study was conducted in Lahij city, Yemen, to evaluate the concentrations and potential health risks of natural radioactive nuclides and heavy metals in soil and drinking water. A total of 21 soil samples and 17 water samples were collected from various locations. A high-purity germanium gamma detector HPGe was used to measure the concentrations of K, Th, and Ra in all samples, along with the concentrations of heavy metals.

The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of abutment screw head sizes on preload stability when secured to a standard external hex implant under oblique compressive forces. Fifteen metal crowns were divided into 3 equal groups. The first group had 5 angulated cemented crowns connected to a 3-mm-tall straight hexagonal abutment with an external hex abutment screw.
