Today implant dentistry has made great inroads into the treatment modalities that are available in treating an edentulous patient. Popularity of a two implant retained overdenture has created a necessity to examine the various attachment systems being used and the stresses that are transmitted to the alveolar bone. Hence a Three dimensional Finite Element Analysis was done to analyze the stress distribution in the mandibular bone with implant-supported overdenture having Ball/O-ring and Magnet attachments of different diameters. A segment of the anterior region of the mandible was modeled with implant and the overdenture. Four different models were generated having Ball/O-Ring and Magnet Attachments. Forces of 10 N, 35 N and 70 N were applied from the horizontal, vertical and oblique directions respectively and the stress distribution studied. It was concluded that the greatest stress concentrations were seen at the crest of the cortical bone and could be reduced by using smaller sized attachments for implant supported-overdenture.

Overexpression of AtbZIP69 in transgenic wheat confers tolerance to nitrogen and drought stress.

Planta

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Crop Gene Resources and Breeding, Institute of Crop Sciences, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS), Beijing, 100081, China.

AtbZIP69 overexpression in wheat significantly enhanced drought and low nitrogen tolerance by modulating ABA synthesis, antioxidant activity, nitrogen allocation, and transporter gene expression, boosting yield. In this study, we generated wheat plants with improved low nitrogen (LN) and drought tolerance by introducing AtbZIP69, a gene encoding a basic leucine zipper domain transcription factor, into the wheat cultivar Shi 4056. AtbZIP69 localized to the nucleus and activated transcription.

Objective: To study the biomechanical changes induced by differences in perioral force in patients with missing anterior maxillary teeth at rest via finite element analysis (FEA).

Methods: Using conical beam CT (CBCT) images of a healthy person, models of the complete maxillary anterior dental region (Model A) and maxillary anterior dental region with a missing left maxillary central incisor (Model B) were constructed. The labial and palatine alveolar bone and tooth surface of the bilateral incisor and cusp regions were selected as the application sites, the resting perioral force was applied perpendicular to the tissue surface, and the changes in maxillary stress and displacement after the perioral force was simulated were analyzed.

Purpose: A finite element analysis was performed to simulate the biomechanical differences between anterior-posterior (AP) direction and posterior-anterior (PA) direction placement of two cannulated screws in Hoffa fractures.

Methods: Computed tomography images of an healthy male volunteer were used to simulate Letenneur Ⅰ, Ⅱa, Ⅱb, Ⅱc, Ⅲ Hoffa fractures, and two groups of screw internal fixation models were constructed. Two 6.

Objectives: To evaluate the color change and trans-amelodentinal cytotoxicity of a 22% carbamide peroxide (CP) bleaching gel containing different concentration of manganese oxide (MnO).

Material And Methods: Enamel/dentin discs adapted to artificial pulp chambers were distributed according to treatments: CN-No treatment; CP22%-22%CP; CP22 + 2MnO-22%CP + 2 mg/mLMnO; CP22% + 6MnO-22%CP + 6 mg/mLMnO; CP22% + 10MnO-22%CP + 10 mg/mLMnO applied for 2 h for 15 days. Color change-CC (ΔE and ΔWI) (n = 8) was determined at 5, 10, and 15-day periods (ANOVA/Sidak).
