Objective: To evaluate 4 interocclusal recording materials for their ability to reproduce accurately interocclusal relationships after a storage time of 1 or 48 hours.
Method And Materials: A custom-made metal apparatus was used to simulate the maxilla and mandible. The vertical discrepancies were measured by a precision dial gauge. Eight inter-occlusal records were made in each of the following groups: (G1) Futar D (polyvinyl siloxane; Kettenbach), (G2) Ramitec (polyether; 3M ESPE), (G3) LuxaBite (composite resin based on bisacryl; DMG), (G4) Aluwax (aluminum wax; Aluwax Dental Products), (G5) LuxaBite corrected with LuxaBite, and (G6) LuxaBite corrected with Aluwax. The vertical discrepancies were measured after storage of the records for 1 and 48 hours at room temperature and repositioning of the records in the metal apparatus. Data were statistically analyzed using 1-way analysis of variance followed by the Games-Howell test (P < or = .05).
Results: After storage times of 1 and 48 hours, respectively, the mean vertical discrepancies (microm) for G1 (23/33) and G2 (25/30) were statistically significantly lower than for G3 (431/745) and G4 (110/151) (P < .05) but higher than for G5 (8/16) and G6 (7/17). There was no statistically significant difference between G1 and G2 or between G5 and G6 for either measurement.
Conclusion: These vertical discrepancies increased after a storage time of 48 hours. However, correction of the LuxaBite records with LuxaBite or Aluwax showed significantly lower vertical discrepancies than all other materials. Clinically, the vertical discrepancies the corrected records caused could be insignificant.

Non-surgical correction of an adult Class II high-angle with occlusal plane cant by four compromised permanent first molars extraction, preadjusted lingual appliance and miniscrews: A case report.

This case report describes a complex full-step asymmetrical Class II division 1 high-angle in an adult patient treated by extraction of compromised first molars with a preadjusted lingual appliance. Since the patient presented severe sagittal and vertical discrepancies combined with an Izard orthofrontal profile with upper lip protrusion, an extraction camouflage was performed with the twofold aim of obtaining ideal occlusal relationship and profile improvement, correcting occlusal plane cant by selective intrusion with interradicular miniscrews. Appropriate biomechanical strategies, including extraction choice and anchorage control during space closure, were needed to achieve the planned results.

This study investigates the critical impact of incipient sediment motion on sediment transport estimation and riverbed evolution prediction. In this research, we examine the effects of ice cover on the vertical distribution of flow velocity, establishing a mathematical relationship between the vertical average flow velocities in open channel and ice-covered flows. This leads to the derivation of a formula for incipient motion velocity under ice cover.

A simple pore microstructure of parallel, identical, and inclined smooth-walled slits in a rigid solid, for which prediction of its geometrical and acoustic properties is straightforward, can yield useful sound absorption. This microstructure should be relatively amenable to 3D printing. Discrepancies between measurements and predictions of normal incidence sound absorption spectra of 3D printed vertical and slanted slit pore samples have been attributed to the rough surfaces of the slit walls and uneven slit cross-sections perpendicular to the printing direction.

Background: Virtual surgical planning for orthognathic surgery typically relies on two methods for intraoperative plan transfer: CAD/CAM occlusal splints and patient-specific implants (PSI). While CAD/CAM splints may offer limited accuracy, particularly in the vertical dimension, PSIs are constrained by higher costs and extended preparation times. Surgical navigation has emerged as a potential alternative, but existing protocols often involve invasive registration or lack transparent evaluation.

Article Synopsis
- Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a significant cause of infections in neonates and pregnant women, with Japan implementing guidelines for screening and antibiotic use, yet infections have not decreased significantly.
- Approximately 15% of pregnant women lack GBS screening, and issues like intermittent colonization lead to early-onset disease; current preventative measures don't address increasing cases of late-onset disease.
- This study found that using polymerase chain reaction for GBS detection was more effective than culture methods, highlighted the risk of horizontal transmission, and emphasized the need for better diagnostic tools and potential maternal vaccination for prevention.
