The long-term results of implant retained restorations with casted and milled frames were compared in clinical and experimental settings. Electrochemical features of milled and casted titanium by contact with titanium implant were assessed. The biocompatibility of milled and casted titanium was studied in mesenchymal stem cells culture. Cross sections were used to assess the marginal fit precision of milled and casted frames.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the characteristics of the ceramic bonding to cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys fabricated by casting, milling, and additive manufacturing, compared with zirconia and nickel-chromium. One hundred specimens (N = 100), prepared with the dimensions of 25 × 3 × 0.5 mm, were assigned to five groups (n = 20): presintered milled Co-Cr (Group M), additively manufactured Co-Cr (Group SLM), cast Co-Cr (Group C), presintered zirconia (Group Zi), and cast Ni-Cr (Group Ni).

Statement Of Problem: The mechanical properties and microstructure of cobalt chromium (Co-Cr) alloys should be considered when choosing the best alloy for each clinical situation. More information is needed on the digital manufacturing methods of metals in dentistry, such as computer numerical control (CNC), and direct laser metal sintering (DMLS).
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the 3 different Co-Cr manufacturing processes on the mechanical properties and microstructure of Co-Cr dental alloys.

Micron-sized Si anodes garner renewed attention due to their advantages of low cost, small specific surface area, and high energy density. However, micron-sized Si anodes undergo significant volume changes during lithiation/delithiation, leading to particle cracking and pulverization. This study employs the tape casting method and ultrafast high-temperature sintering technology to construct a porous sheet, within which a solid framework constrains the Si particles.

This work represents a new composite film with a nacre-mimetic structure through the alignment of hybrids comprising cellulose nanocrystals and ball-milled boron nitride (CNC-BNNS), within polypropylene carbonate (PPC) endowed with various properties. The impact of CNC-BNNS hybrids on mechanical strength mechanisms was evaluated under two-directional forces, marking the first such assessment. Using a solution casting approach, incorporating 5 % CNC-BNNS improved tensile strength by 67.

Background: Different bar construction techniques will affect the bar passive fitness, which may induce stresses or strain on the implant and/or tightening screw and sequentially may affect the biting force and patient satisfaction.
Aim Of The Study: This clinical investigation assessed patient satisfaction and maximum biting force (MBF) using three differently constructed (conventional casting, milling, and 3D printing CAD/CAM techniques) cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) bar-retained implants mandibular overdentures over a one-year period of follow-up.
Materials And Methods: Thirty edentulous patients seeking for two implants bar-retained mandibular overdentures were randomly assigned into three groups as the following: Group I: 10 patients received a Co-Cr conventional casting bar, Group II: 10 patients received a Co-Cr CAD/CAM milled bar, and Group III: 10 patients received a Co-Cr CAD/CAM 3D-printed bar.
