Germplasm repositories can benefit sustainable aquaculture by supporting genetic improvement, assisted reproduction, and management of valuable genetic resources. Lack of reliable quality management tools has impeded repository development in the past several decades. Microfabricated open-hardware devices have emerged as a new approach to assist repository development by providing standardized quality assessment capabilities to enable routine quality control. However, prototyping of microfabricated devices (microdevices) traditionally relies on photolithography techniques that are costly, time intensive, and accessible only through specialized engineering laboratories. Although resin 3-D printing has been introduced into the microfabrication domain, existing publications focus on customized or high-cost (>thousands of USD) printers. The goal of this report was to identify and call attention to the emerging opportunities to support innovation in microfabrication by use of low-cost (

Purpose: To analyze the stress distribution of polyetheretherketone framework of implant-supported fixed maxillary prosthesis by three-dimensional finite element method.

Methods: Three dimensional finite element model of implant-supported fixed maxillary prosthesis was established. Polyetheretherketone as framework material, resin, zirconia, PEEK, baked plastic and lithium silicate were used to make crown prosthesis as experimental group, pure titanium and monolithic zirconia prosthesis model was used as control group.

Background: Considering the development of new 3D printing technologies that use different printing techniques, further studies must be conducted to evaluate the impact of different printing systems on the mechanical properties of 3D-printed materials. This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties of 3D-printed materials for occlusal devices using different 3D printers and printing layer thicknesses.

Material And Methods: Ninety rectangular samples were manufactured and divided into nine groups according to the 3D printer model they were printed on (AnyCubic Mono X, Elegoo Mars 2, or FlashForge Hunter) and the layer thickness (20, 50, or 100 µm) and were subjected to superficial microhardness, flexural resistance, and elasticity modulus tests.

On the suitability of photocuring-assisted DIW for manufacturing complex prosthesis from commercial dental composites.

J Mater Sci Mater Med

September 2024

Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de los Materiales, Universidad de Extremadura, Badajoz, Spain.

A 3-D printing method to produce dental prostheses of complex shapes from a commercial, photocurable resin-ceramic slurry is developed and optimized. The microstructure, mechanical properties and wear behavior of the resulting material are evaluated and compared with a conventional/control sample and other ceramic-polymer dental composites. Commercial resin-ceramic dental slurries can be successfully extruded and appropriately photocured in a low cost 3-D printing system to produce cost-efficient complex dental parts that could be used in indirect restorations.

Department of Prosthodontics and Implantology, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, IND.

Introduction:  Interim restorations are essential in restorative dentistry, serving as temporary solutions until permanent restorations can be placed. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a promising solution for customizing teeth for removable dentures to match the exact requirements of patients. The color stability of these restorations is critical for patient satisfaction.

Bisphenol A (BPA) has been widely used in the production of polycarbonate (PC) plastics, flame retardants and epoxy resins, which is one of the most important endocrine disrupting chemicals and can cause damage to the estrogen system of human. In this work, organic conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNPs) were synthesized through nanoprecipitation method using liposome 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine-N-[methoxy (polyethylene glycol)-2000] (DSPE-mPEG2000) coated poly[(4,4'-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]silole)-2,6-diyl-alt-4,7-di(4-hexyl-2-thienyl)-5,6-difluoro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole] (PDTS-hDTBT) and poly[(4,4'-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]silole)-2,6-diyl-alt-4,7-di(4-(2-ethylhexyl)-2-thienyl)-5,6-difluoro-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole] (PDTS-ehDTBT). These two polymers have different side chains, which can affect the configuration of the polymers, thereby affecting the π-π interaction between BPA and CPNPs.
