Published: January 2018

Introduction: The implant angulation plays a very important role in the outcome of prosthetic and functional outcome. The conventional surgical stents uses a ring system to drill the pilot drill, only the CAD printed stents provides a guide sleeves for the sequential drill for implant placement.

The Purpose Of This Study: The purpose of the study was to fabricate a drill bit guide for the stent to transfer the angulation and implant placement planned using conventional method in prescribed drilling sequence.

Material And Methods: A surgical stent with a threaded guide ring system was fabricated with internal drill bit guiding system. The interchangeable sequential drilling allows the drill bit to be in predetermined position throughout the procedure.

Results: The surgical stent with the drill bit guiding system provided less than 1% error with a mean deviation of 0.48%.

Conclusion: The drill bit guide fabricated has a complete limiting system and transfers the angulation and placement as desired with very minimal or no alteration, which enables the predetermined prosthetic outcome.

Background: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a common diagnostic surgical procedure for patients with medically refractory epilepsy. We aimed to describe our initial experience with the recently released NeuroOne Evo SEEG electrode product (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN) and review technical specifications for other currently approved depth SEEG electrodes.

Methods: We performed a record review on the first five patients implanted with NeuroOne Evo SEEG electrode product using the robotic stereotactic assistance robot platform and described our surgical technique in detail.

Estimating the rate of penetration (ROP) is one of most critical tasks for evaluating the efficiency and profitability of drilling operation, which will aim in decision-making related to well planning, time estimation, cost estimation, bit selection, operational troubles, and logistics in drilling operation. The rise in unconventional resource development underscores the need for accurate ROP prediction to optimize drilling operations in these valuable reserves. ROP prediction and optimization in unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs are challenging due to the formations' heterogeneity, high strength, and brittleness.

Core decompression was developed as a joint-preserving procedure for patients with early-stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head. Previous studies indicated a high success rate that outperforms nonoperative management of pre-collapse hips. The traditional single-tunnel core decompression technique uses a cannulated drill bit inserted into the lateral cortex of the proximal femur.

This study aimed to investigate the drilling signal characteristics when a PDC drill bit penetrates media of different strengths and to assess the potential of these signals for identifying weak layers within rock formations. Laboratory-scale experiments were conducted, and the response characteristics of the PDC drill bit in different-strength media were analyzed across the time domain, frequency domain, and time-frequency domain using statistical analysis, Fourier transform, and empirical mode decomposition (EMD). The results indicate that in the lowest-strength concrete (C10), the drilling speed was the fastest, while the mean, median, and primary distribution ranges of the thrust and torque were the smallest.

Impact of Drill Bit Wear on Screw Withdrawal Resistance in Pinewood.

Materials (Basel)

November 2024

Department of Furniture Design, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Poznań University of Life Sciences, 60-637 Poznań, Poland.

Many factors affect screw withdrawal resistance (SWR), including screw size, embedment depth, the pre-drilled hole's diameter, dimensional accuracy, and the furniture pieces' material properties being joined. While prior research has extensively examined the influence of these factors, this study aimed to explore a neglected factor: how drill bit wear impacts pilot hole quality and subsequent SWR. The experimental setup included pinewood samples with pre-drilled 5 mm diameter blind pilot holes with a depth of 45 mm.
