Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the resistance against rotation of a two-piece abutment with or without the presence of a positioning hex in tapered internal connection implant systems.
Materials And Methods: A tapered internal connection implant with an 11-degree internal oblique angle was placed into a constructed three-dimensional (3D) bone model. Two types of abutments were compared: hex-type abutments with a positioning hex and two-piece round-type nonhex abutments. Vertical compressions equivalent to the screw tightening torque of 30 Ncm and 40 Ncm were applied to the abutment screws. A horizontal load of 150 N was applied to the superstructure to create moments. The contact area between the implant and abutment was compared and analyzed. The rotational displacement of the abutments was investigated as well.
Results: When a preload equivalent to 40 Ncm of tightening torque was applied, the round-type abutment exhibited a larger contact area than the hex-type abutment by approximately 2.5% to 3.5% in contrast to the internal surface area of the implant. When the screw tightening torque of 30 Ncm was applied, the rotational displacement of the hex-type abutment was approximately 0.54 degrees and the round-type was approximately 1.16 degrees under clockwise moment loading.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be assumed that the hexagonal design of the abutment acts as rotational resistance against moments.

Free oligosaccharides in human milk have many biological functions for infant health. The reducing end of most human milk oligosaccharides is lactose, and caprine milk was reported to contain oligosaccharides structurally similar to those present in human milk. The structures of oligosaccharides were traditionally determined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy or enzyme digestion followed by various detection methods, e.

Accidental ingestion of foreign bodies during dental procedures is relatively common, with the potential for serious complications, including intestinal perforations and severe pulmonary disorders. Our case report describes the prolonged, asymptomatic retention of a swallowed hex driver in the small bowel of a 38-year-old male, managed conservatively over an extended period. The patient, with a significant medical history of depression, was undergoing a dental procedure involving implant-supported restorations when the incident occurred.

This study investigated whether manual integration in the recognition of the endothelial cells produces different outcomes of morphometric parameters compared to a fully automatic approach. Eight hundred and ninety endothelial images, originally acquired by the Perseus Specular Microscope (CSO, Florence, Italy), from seven positions of right and left corneas were selected from the database of the Research Centre in Optics and Optometry at the University of Milano-Bicocca. For each image selected, two procedures of cell identification were performed by the Perseus: an automatic identification and a manual-integrated procedure to add potential additional cells with the available editing tool.

We studied the exciton delocalization of indodicarbocyanine 5 dye derivative (Cy5-R) heterodimers templated by a DNA Holliday junction (HJ), which was quantified by the exciton hopping parameter . These dyes were modified at the 5 and 5' positions of indole rings with substituent (R) H, Cl, Bu, Peg, and hexyloxy (Hex) groups that exhibit different bulkiness and electron-withdrawing/donating capacities. The substituents tune the physical properties of the dyes, such as hydrophobicity (log ) and solvent-accessible surface area (SASA).

Introduction: Anxiety and depression in older adults (60+ years of age) are under-diagnosed and under-treated. Older adults are less likely to seek help for these problems due to a lack of awareness, difficulty accessing health care due to availability or disability and fear of loss of independence. Existing points of contact between older adults and non-traditional services, for example, the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), could provide opportunities to support help-seeking for mental ill-health.
