Comfort and Usability of Digital Versus Conventional Custom‐Fit Mouthguards: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives The use of mouthguards protects teeth and the supporting tissues against impacts. Digital impressions and 3D‐printed models can reduce manufacturing steps and minimize discomfort. This study evaluated the fit, comfort, and usability of custom‐made mouthguards, obtained by conventional and digital workflow, in amateur ...

Loss of Tooth Structure After Successive Removal of Temporary Restorative Materials by Dental Students Between Endodontic Treatment Sessions: An In Vitro Study

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the loss of tooth structure after the removal of temporary restorative materials between endodontic treatment sessions performed by undergraduate students. Methods Twenty human molar teeth underwent endodontic coronal access and were randomly divided into two groups.

Isogeometric Analysis of FGM Plates

Materials Today: Proceedings, 2018
Abstract This work presents an isogeometric formulation for the geometrically nonlinear analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plates. FGM plates are made of a mixture of two components (ceramic and metal) whose volume fractions vary smoothly along the thickness.

Thermal buckling and post-buckling analysis of geometrically imperfect FGM clamped tubes on nonlinear elastic foundation

Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2019
Present research deals with the thermal buckling and post-buckling analysis of the geometrically imperfect functionally graded tubes on nonlinear elastic foundation. Imperfect FGM tube with immovable clamped–clamped end conditions is subjected to thermal

Fatigue behaviour of root filled teeth: The role of endodontic sealers and restorative techniques

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the fatigue behaviour of root canal treated teeth, filled with either AH Plus Jet (AHP) or AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer (AHPB) and rehabilitated with either mesio‐occlusal‐distal (MOD) restorations (direct resin composite) or endocrowns (indirect resin composite).

Estimates of female genital mutilation/cutting in the Netherlands: a comparison between a nationwide survey in midwifery practices and extrapolation-model

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background Owing to migration, female genital mutilation or cutting (FGM/C) has become a growing concern in host countries in which FGM/C is not familiar.

3D free vibration analysis of multi-directional FGM parallelepipeds using the quadrature element method

Applied Mathematical Modelling, 2019
In this paper, the existing quadrature element method (QEM) is extended to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) free vibration of multi-directional functionally graded material (FGM) parallelepipeds under general boundary conditions.
