Multifunctional Design of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Structures for Temporary Pediatric Fixation Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A metallic implant's higher stiffness compared to the surrounding bone leads to stress shielding problems, causing bone density reduction and bone growth interference in pediatric patients. 3D‐printed triply periodic minimal surface structures present a promising engineering solution.

Design of quantum correlation based automatic focus detection system during dental laser operation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Dental laser has been developed recently and gradually replaced the conventional dental treatment methods, especially in dental caries removal. The utility of laser in dentistry contributes to reduce the pain during surgery and decrease the risk of sequelae after surgery.

Nanomagnetic-Mediated Drug Delivery for The Treatment of Dental Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Maintaining the vitality of the dental pulp, the highly innervated and highly vascular, innermost layer of the tooth, is a critical goal of any dental procedure. Upon injury, targeting the pulp with specific therapies is challenging because it is encased

Development of Ternary Magnesium Alloys for Laser Powder Bed Fusion: Optimizing Oxide Layer Thickness

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing of magnesium alloys by laser is difficult because the melting point of the oxide layer is much higher than the evaporation temperature of the metal underneath. Making the oxide layer thinner can solve this problem. Alloying magnesium with strontium makes the oxide layer thinner, especially at 0.5 wt%.

Bayesian Nonparametric Policy Search with Application to Periodontal Recall Intervals [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
Tooth loss from periodontal disease is a major public health burden in the United States. Standard clinical practice is to recommend a dental visit every six months; however, this practice is not evidence-based, and poor dental outcomes and increasing dental insurance premiums indicate room for improvement.
