Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare 2 common methods of measuring orthodontic shear bond strength.

Methods: Brackets were bonded to 40 bovine incisors, and the teeth were mounted in a jig. The teeth were paired for symmetry, and the pairs were divided into 2 groups for debonding. In group 1, the shear force was applied with a rectangular wire under the tie wings. In group 2, a shearing blade applied force to the junction between the bracket base and the adhesive.

Results: Debonding with the shear blade produced higher (24.86 +/- 7.44 MPa) and more dispersed (coefficient of variation = 29.91%) bond strengths compared with the wire loop (17.12 +/- 3.16 MPa, coefficient of variation = 18.44%). Adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores showed a tendency for cohesive failure in the enamel in the shear-blade group (ARI = 5) compared with adhesive failure (ARI = 3) in the wire group.

Conclusions: There is a need to standardize bond strength tests. The results of this study favor the wire-loop method, which might have more similarity to clinical loads. The regression formula might make comparison of previous studies easier.

Temperature Control of Quartz-Glass Melting Areas in Laser Additive Manufacturing.

Micromachines (Basel)

December 2024

Lightweight Optics and Advanced Materials Technology Center, Institute of Optics and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Chengdu 610209, China.

Direct energy deposition is an additive technology that can quickly manufacture irregularly shaped quartz-glass devices. Based on this technology and coaxial laser/wire feeding, open-loop tests were conducted under different process parameters. A closed-loop temperature control system was designed and built for the molten pool temperature in quartz-glass additive manufacturing.

Introduction: The docking button of the Aveir leadless pacemaker (LP) is occasionally difficult to access due to its inappropriate position in the right ventricle (RV).

Methods And Results: We report a case where the Aveir LP was successfully retrieved by releasing the wedged docking button in the inferior wall of the RV using a loop wire technique.

Conclusion: The loop wire technique may be useful to change the position of the Aveir LP.

Iatrogenic type A aortic dissection (IAAD) is a rare but life-threatening complication of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often presenting significant therapeutic challenges. A looped guidewire between the right subclavian artery and brachiocephalic artery during coronary angiography (CAG) via right radial artery access can complicate catheter manipulation. This report discusses the case of a 58-year-old hypertensive female patient who developed aortic dissection during PCI, specifically due to wire manipulation at the brachiocephalic loop.
