Large-span fixed restorations in the treatment of periodontally compromised patients are technically difficult to realize. Despite existing techniques of regenerative periodontal surgery and implant therapy aimed at preventing large spans by increasing the number of abutments, prosthetic complications do occur. The present article describes a method that introduces galvanic caps to conventional prosthetic technology, which facilitates clinical procedures and reduces complications by improving precision of fit.

The rapid advancement of mobile laser scanner technology used for terrain mapping, among other things, imposes increasing requirements for scanning frequency and distance measurement accuracy. To meet these requirements, rangefinder modules are expected to operate with high echo signal dynamics and to allow accurate distance measurement even based on single-laser-pulse echo detection. Such performance can be potentially achieved using pulsed time-of-flight (ToF) laser rangefinders (LRF).

Innovations in digital manufacturing enabled the fabrication of implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (ISFDPs) in a wide variety of recently introduced materials. Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milling allows the fabrication of ISFDPs with high accuracy by reducing the fabrication steps of large-span frameworks. The longevity of ISFDPs depends on the overall mechanical properties of the framework material including its fit, and the physical properties of the veneering material and its bond with the framework.

One edentulous mandibular model with implants and screw fixed abutments at bilateral canines and the first molars was selected and used as the mandibular full arch implant-supported model. At the same time, a Kennedy class Ⅰ maxillary dentition defect model was selected.

Purpose: To synthesize a zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) composite with 85% alumina matrix reinforced by 15% zirconia and to characterize its optical and mechanical properties before and after artificial aging, to be compared with a conventional dental zirconia (3Y-TZP).
Material And Methods: After syntheses, ZTA and 3Y-TZP powders were uniaxially and isostatically pressed. Green-body samples were sintered and polished to obtain 80 disc-shaped specimens per group (12 × 1 mm, ISO 6872:2015).
Beating the Standard Sensitivity-Bandwidth Limit of Cavity-Enhanced Interferometers with Internal Squeezed-Light Generation.

The shot-noise limited peak sensitivity of cavity-enhanced interferometric measurement devices, such as gravitational-wave detectors, can be improved by increasing the cavity finesse, even when comparing fixed intracavity light powers. For a fixed light power inside the detector, this comes at the price of a proportional reduction in the detection bandwidth. High sensitivity over a large span of signal frequencies, however, is essential for astronomical observations.
