Background: An accurate impression is crucial to the long-term success of dental implants. This investigation evaluated the accuracy of the open and closed implant impression techniques in partially edentulous patients who received two adjacent implants.
Material And Methods: Forty patients received Osstem Implants (Osstem Implant System, Seoul, Korea). Two impressions were made for each patient, one using an open tray and a second with a closed tray technique. The horizontal distances between two impression copings were measured and compared to similar measurements on the master casts. Also, under a stereomicroscope (AmScop14370, Myford Road, #150, Irvine, CA 92606 USA) at a 50-fold magnification, the presence or absence of the marginal discrepancies was evaluated.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences regarding horizontal measurements and in the marginal relationship for the two impression techniques, except between the anterior and posterior regions, for the closed tray technique. There were also no statistically significant differences in the impression accuracy between maxillary and the mandibular arches. In addition, there were no statistically significant differences for the intraoral horizontal distances, compared to similar horizontal measurements on master casts, between the open and closed tray techniques.
Conclusions: Within the limitations of the present study, there were generally no differences in the impression accuracy between the open and closed tray techniques in partially edentulous patients with two adjacent implants.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how the design of implant analogs and the thickness of printing layers influence the accuracy of digitally made casts compared to traditional stone casts.
- Results indicated that the type of analog used and the layer thickness significantly affected both linear and angular deviations, with S analogs generally demonstrating better accuracy than N analogs.
- The findings suggest that using S-50 analogs might provide greater positional accuracy than other groups, emphasizing the importance of design and manufacturing methods in dental applications.

Aim: To compare the effect of different ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light exposure times on the dimensional stability of addition silicone dental impressions.
Materials And Methods: The dimensional stability of the addition silicone dental impressions was assessed by measuring specific dimensions on dental casts that were recovered from an upper acrylic resin model of dental implants. The impressions were reproduced using a customized tray adapted in a three-point simplex dental articulator permitting only opening and closing movements.
Cementless, Cruciate-Retaining Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty Using Conventional Instrumentation: Technical Pearls and Intraoperative Considerations.

Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, especially when non-surgical treatments fail, leading to significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life.
- The procedure can use various components (cemented, cementless, or a hybrid) and is generally performed with a focus on mechanical alignment, although newer alignment strategies like gap and kinematic balancing are showing promising results in early studies.
- The preferred surgical technique for cementless TKA involves a specific patient positioning and incision approach, starting with the application of a thigh tourniquet and a parapatellar incision, ensuring proper alignment and access during the surgery.*

The microbiome affects important aspects of mosquito biology and differences in microbial composition can affect the outcomes of laboratory studies. To determine how the biotic and abiotic conditions in an insectary affect the composition of the bacterial microbiome of mosquitoes we reared mosquitoes from a single cohort of eggs from one genetically homogeneous inbred colony, which were split into three batches, and transferred to each of three different insectaries located within the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. Using three replicate trays per insectary, we assessed and compared the bacterial microbiome composition as mosquitoes developed from these eggs.

Article Synopsis
- Banbianhong (Prunus salicina) is an important fruit crop in southwestern China, but in July 2023, a dieback disease with a 10% incidence was reported in Yunnan Province, causing significant damage.
- The disease manifests with brownish nodules and dry cracking of the plant's cortex, leading to wilting and death, as observed through lesion analysis in infected twigs.
- Research identified two fungal isolates, WG2-1 and WG2-3, as Rugonectria rugulosa through morphological and molecular testing, with their sequences deposited in a plant pathogen lab for further study.
