Statement Of Problem: The use of dissimilar materials for opposing complete-mouth implant-supported prosthesis has become popular, especially when one arch is made from anatomical contour zirconia. However, the amount of wear zirconia causes on resin and other denture tooth materials is largely unknown.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the volumetric wear of 4 commercially available resin materials used for denture teeth in complete-arch implant-supported prostheses opposed by zirconia.

Material And Methods: A total of 32 maxillary central incisor denture teeth were evaluated (n=8): double crosslinked polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) (DCL), nanohybrid composite resin (PHO), and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM)-fabricated teeth made from crosslinked PMMA (TEL) and acrylate polymer (ZCAD). Antagonist cone-shaped specimens were milled from zirconia. Specimens were mounted in acrylic resin, polished to a flat surface by using 1200-grit SiC paper, and stored in water (37 °C for 24 hours) before exposure in a custom dual-axis wear simulator for 200 000 cycles with a vertical load of 20 N, a horizontal slide of 2 mm, and a frequency of 1 Hz. Volumetric wear was measured by using a noncontact profilometer and a superimposition software program. Data were analyzed with a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) post hoc test (α=.05).

Results: A statistically significant difference in volumetric wear was found between groups (P<.001), with PHO (4.3 ±1.0 mm)
Conclusions: Denture teeth made from different materials demonstrate significantly different volumetric substance loss when subjected to occlusal wear by zirconia antagonists. Nanohybrid composite resin denture teeth had the least amount of volumetric substance loss.

Measurement of volumetric wear of printed polymer resin and milled polymer infused ceramic network definitive restorative materials.

Statement Of Problem: Currently there is no regulatory requirement or international standard for the wear resistance of dental materials and therefore no need to test prior to market launch.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the total volumetric wear characteristics of milled polymer infiltrated ceramic network (MPICN) and printed polymer resin (PPR) as substrates opposing five antagonists, human enamel (EN), lithium disilicate (LD), zirconia (ZR), MPICN, and PPR, and to evaluate and compare the volumetric wear of these same materials as antagonists.

Material And Methods: Ten of each antagonist for a total of 50 EN, LD (IPS e.

This paper provides a detailed analysis of the operation of representative forging tools (in the context of using various surface engineering techniques) used in the process of the hot forging of nickel-chromium steel elements. The influence of the microstructure and hardness of the material on the durability of the tools is also discussed, which is important for understanding the mechanisms of their wear. The research showed that the standard tools used in the process (only after nitriding) as a reference point worked for the shortest period, making an average of about 1400 forgings.

Association between axial elongation and corneal topography in children undergoing orthokeratology with different back optic zone diameters.

Eye Vis (Lond)

January 2025

Contact Lens and Visual Optics Laboratory, Optometry and Vision Science, Centre for Vision and Eye Research, Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia.

Purpose: To explore the associations between myopia defocus dosage (MDD), aberration coefficients (primary spherical aberration and coma), and axial elongation in children undergoing orthokeratology (ortho-k) with back optic zone diameters (BOZD) of 5 mm and 6 mm over 2 years.

Methods: Data from 80 participants from two ortho-k studies were analyzed: 22 and 58 children wore lenses with 5-mm and 6-mm BOZD, respectively. Four MDD metrics were calculated from corneal topography data over a 5-mm pupil for the 1-month and 24-month visits: the circumferential, flat, steep, and volumetric MDD.

Multicriteria assessment of optical coherence tomography using non-raster trajectories.

Université de Franche-Comté, CNRS, AS2M Department, FEMTO-ST Institute, Besançon, France.

This article presents a qualitative, quantitative, and experimental analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) volumes obtained using different families of non-raster trajectories. We propose a multicriteria analysis to be used in the assessment of scan trajectories used in obtaining OCT volumetric point cloud data. The novel criteria includes exploitation/exploration ratio of the OCT data obtained, smoothness of the scan trajectory and fast preview of the acquired OCT data in addition to conventional criteria; time and quality (expressed as volume similarity rather than slice-by-slice image quality).

Total Knee Replacements (TKRs) are a commonly used treatment to help patients suffering from severely damaged knee joints, which is normally brought on by osteoarthritis. The aim of the surgery is to reduce pain and regain function of the joint, however, some of these implants fail prematurely with implant wear being one of the main factors of failure. Computational analysis is an efficient tool that can provide an in-depth insight on the evolution of wear, before utilising experimental techniques which are time-consuming and costly.
