Purpose: To investigate, in vitro, the dimensional accuracy of two impression techniques (squared impression copings and squared impression copings sandblasted and coated with impression adhesive) made of vinyl polysiloxane and polyether impression materials.
Materials And Methods: A master cast (control group) with four parallel implant abutment analogs, a passive framework, and a custom aluminum tray was fabricated. Four groups (n = 5 each group) were tested: squared Impregum (SI), squared Express (SE), sandblasted adhesive squared Impregum (ASI), and sandblasted adhesive squared Express (ASE). The measurement method employed was just one titanium screw tightened to the framework. A stereomicroscope was used to evaluate the fit of the framework by measuring the size of the gap between the abutment and the framework. The results were analyzed statistically.
Results: The mean values for the abutment/framework interface gaps were: master cast, 31.63 µm (SD 2.16); SI, 38.03 µm (SD 9.29); ASI, 46.80 µm (SD 8.47); SE, 151.21 µm (SD 22.79); and ASE, 136.59 µm (SD 29.80). No significant difference was detected between the SI or ASI techniques and the master cast. No significant difference was detected between the SE and ASE techniques.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that Impregum Soft medium consistency was the best impression material and the impression technique did not influence the accuracy of the stone casts.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if segmental aneuploid embryos exhibited distinct morphokinetic patterns compared to euploid and whole-chromosome aneuploid embryos during development.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 7,000 embryos cultured in European IVF clinics and found that segmental aneuploids had significantly slower cleavage rates, particularly during the first three cell cycles.
- A logistic regression model was developed to predict aneuploidy types based on morphokinetic data, but its overall predictive performance was modest when tested on new data.

The industry of off-highway vehicles is one of the fields of major application of nodular cast irons, which guarantee the manufacture of complex geometries and ensure good mechanical properties. The present investigation deals with the fatigue design of off-highway axles made of EN-GJS-500-7. Typically, off-highway axles are weakened by stress risers which must be assessed against fatigue.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of finishing and polishing techniques on the fit accuracy, metal loss, and surface roughness of conventional versus CAD-CAM removable partial denture (RPD) frameworks.
Materials And Methods: A 3D-printed maxillary Kennedy class III modification I model served as the master cast. Forty impressions (20 conventional and 20 digital) were divided into four groups: lost-wax technique (Group I: LWT), CAD-printed (Group II: CAD-RP), CAD-printed from a stone cast (Group III: CAD-RPS), and lost-wax technique from resin-printed models (Group IV: LWTR).
