Statement Of Problem: Direct-metal laser-sintering (DMLS) technologies are being used to manufacture removable partial denture frameworks; however, the build parameters are not well documented.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the impact of 3 different build angulations on a dental cobalt-chromium (Sint-Tech ST2724G) alloy by comparing the tensile properties and nanoindentation hardness. The null hypothesis was that no change would be found in the tensile properties of the different build angulation groups.
Material And Methods: Dumbbell-shaped tensile specimens were produced by using stereolithographic models in accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials testing standard E8/E8M-16ae1. Specimens (n=10) were fabricated by using DMLS additive manufacturing with 3 different angulations (0, 45, and 90 degrees). Tensile testing was carried out to assess yield strength (0.2% permanent offset), elongation (%) at failure, and ultimate tensile strength (GPa). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were used to analyze the fracture surfaces. One 10×10×10 mm cube specimen at each orientation was prepared, and nanoindentation was used to determine hardness and elastic modulus. One-way ANOVA was used to evaluate the overall effects with interaction between groups and post hoc testing applied where the interaction was statistically significant (α=.05).
Results: The 45-degree build angulation resulted in the lowest mean elastic modulus of 213.3 GPa and the highest tensile strength of 1180.9 MPa. The 90-degree build angulation resulted in the highest mean elongation of 10.6% and the highest elastic modulus of 234.0 MPa. Within comparison of the different angulations indicated that various groups had statistically significant differences (P<.05). The SEM analysis indicated different fracture topography among the different build angles.
Conclusions: The cobalt-chromium dental alloy manufactured by DMLS produced favorable mechanical properties. The SEM analysis combined with the tensile test results suggest that the direction of the build angle in relation to the laser melt pattern does impact the mechanical properties of the alloy.

Prevalence and natural history of gibbus deformity in patients with Hurler syndrome.

Department of Radiology, 420 Delaware St. SE #MMC 292, Minneapolis, MN, 55455, USA.
Introduction: Gibbus deformity has been documented as a common musculoskeletal abnormality in mucopolysaccharidosis type I (Hurler syndrome, MPS IH), and its recognition often leads to the diagnosis of MPS IH. While the incidence has been described, the progression of gibbus deformities is not well known. Here we describe the natural history of gibbus deformity in a single center patient population using serial spinal MRI scans.

Repair of functionally graded biological interfaces requires joining dissimilar materials such as hard bone to soft tendon/ligament, with re-injuries/re-tears expected to be minimized by incorporating biomimicking, stress-reducing features within grafts. At bone-tendon interfaces (entheses), stress can be reduced via angled insertion, geometric flaring, mechanical gradation, and interdigitation of tissues. Here, we incorporated enthesis attributes into 3D in silico and physical models of a unique suture anchor-tendon hybrid graft (SATHG) and investigated their effects on stress reduction via finite element analyses (FEA) studies.

Various 3D printing systems for interim fixed dental restorations are commercially available. This study aimed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of 3D printed resins used for interim restorations fabricated using various 3D printing systems and printing angulations after accelerated aging. Three different interim restorative materials were provided and printed using their specific 3D printing systems (A: NextDent; B: Asiga; C: Nova3D), and the testing specimens from each system were printed at two building angles: (1) 0° and (2) 90°.

Introduction: Whilst many technical factors for the postero-anterior (PA) chest projection are well-researched and standardised, anecdotal evidence suggests a discrepancy regarding positioning of the X-ray tube; some radiographers using a horizontal tube, and others apply an angle. Currently there is a lack of published evidence supporting the benefits of either technique.
Methods: Following University ethical approval, an invitation e-mail containing a link to a short questionnaire and participant information sheet was sent to radiographers and assistant practitioners in Liverpool and the surrounding areas, via professional networks/research team contacts.
