Twenty posts of 1.25 mm diameter and 10 of 1.0 mm diameter were cast in 4 different metals, namely, Argenco 4, Argenco 9, Wiron 99 and Rexillium V (5 each). These posts as well as pre-formed wrought stainless steel and titanium posts (5 each of the same diameter) were tested in an Instron machine to a deformation point of one millimetre. Of the cast posts, those of Rexillium proved to be the most rigid but could only withstand 68 per cent of the force that the wrought posts could resist. No statistically significant differences were found between the wrought posts of stainless steel and titanium and between gold and Argenco 9 in the 1.25 mm category and between stainless steel and titanium and Wiron 99, Argenco 9 and gold in the 1.0 mm category.

Background: Proper torque control is crucial to the outcome of orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to employ finite element analysis to compare the torque capabilities of a novel spherical self-ligating bracket with a lock-hook system against those of commonly used passive self-ligating and conventional bracket systems, as well as to reveal the biomechanical changes in the periodontal ligament (PDL) during torque expression.
Methods: A maxillary right central incisor, along with its PDL and alveolar bone, were modeled.

Under current minimally invasive treatment regimes, minor tooth preparation and thinner biomimetic ceramic restoration are used to preserve the restored tooth's vitality, aesthetics, and function. New computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic-like material are now available. To guarantee longevity, a dental clinician must know these newly launched product's mechanical strength compared to the relatively brittle glass-matrix ceramic.

The large amounts of attention directed towards the commercialization of renewable energy systems have motivated extensive research to develop non-precious-metal-based catalysts for promoting the electrochemical production of H and O from water. Here, we report promising technology, , electrochemical water splitting for OER and HER. This work used a simple hydrothermal method to synthesize a novel CoTe-FeC nanocomposite directly on a stainless-steel substrate.

Dissimilar laser welding of martensitic AISI 1060 carbon steel and Duplex Stainless Steel 2205 was performed based on an experimental and numerical study. The experiments were then conducted based on central composite design experiments (CCD) and analyzed via the response surface methodology (RSM) by considering the effect of laser welding process parameters (incident laser power, speed of welding, nozzle distance and deviation of laser beam) on the weld joint characterization. The experimental results showed that the laser power had a remarkable effect on the melt pool depth.

This study aims to evaluate the rice husk (EE-R) and lemongrass (EE-L) derived-eco-enzymes (EE) as alternatives to chemical-based disinfectants. The EE-R and EE-L's antimicrobial activity were tested against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococcus aureus using a broth microdilution method. The antibiofilm activities of EE were determined using crystal violet staining.
