Background: Recent developments in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and 3D printing have enabled the fabrication of digital indirect bonding (IDB) transfer trays. These modern products require thorough investigation.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to determine the accuracy of one-piece and three-piece IDB transfer trays in vitro.
Material And Methods: An initial dental scan (IDS) of a randomly selected patient with digitally positioned brackets served as the master scan (MS) for designing 16 IDB transfer trays of each type. They were 3D printed and used for bonding 448 brackets to the models. Subsequently, the models were scanned with a TRIOS® 3 Intraoral Scanner (3Shape A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark), producing actual scans (ASs). The accuracy of bracket positioning was measured digitally on both MSs and ASs. The measurements were compared to the Objective Grading System for dental casts provided by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO).
Results: The 2 types of IDB transfer trays showed comparable accuracy. All linear errors were within the clinically acceptable range, whereas the angular measurements demonstrated significant variability, resulting in clinically unacceptable transfer errors that ranged from 3.3% to 90.3%.
Conclusions: The study results cannot be unconditionally extrapolated to other types of IDB transfer trays due to the diversity of their properties and features. The study evaluated the in vitro accuracy of IDB transfer trays. The revealed number of errors may be even higher in vivo due to limitations in visibility, salivary flow, interference from the tongue, and difficulties in achieving a proper fit of the IDB transfer tray to the teeth.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a sustainable genetic control method to effectively suppress mosquito vector populations below sanitary and nuisance thresholds. The SIT requires a cost-effective production and release of radio sterilized insects of high and consistent quality and quantity. In this study, we report a new procedure to hatch, aliquot and introduce Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti larvae into larval mass rearing units using dissolvable vegetable capsules containing brushed eggs and larval diet.

Article Synopsis
- In November 2022, two 'Shenandoah' European pears at the USDA Appalachian Fruit Research Station exhibited significant decay, with over 75% of the surface showing brown discoloration and softening, which indicated a potential fungal disease.
- Tissue samples from the affected pears were collected, purified, and the fungal isolate was found to have rapid growth characteristics and distinct conidia (spore) sizes.
- Genetic analysis revealed that the isolate (WV22SR1P5) is closely related to a Diaporthe species known for affecting cucumbers, suggesting this may be a newly identified pathogen not yet formally classified.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the accuracy and fit of 3D-printed indirect bonding trays made from different photopolymer resin materials, using a maxillary plaster model and replicas for testing.
- Six types of trays were printed, revealing significant linear transfer errors, mainly in the vertical direction, with specific resins showing varying levels of precision.
- The findings highlighted that linear errors are more influenced by the material used than angular errors, indicating the need for designs tailored to the specific resins to enhance the fit and alignment of brackets.
