Biomechanical Analysis of 3D Printed and Thermoformed EVA Custom‐Made Mouthguard: Experimental and Finite Element Analyses

Dental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objective 3D printed materials have been evaluated for fabricating mouthguards; however, little is known about their biomechanical performance in preventing dental trauma. This study aimed to compare two 3D printed polymers and three ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) sheets used for mouthguard fabrication regarding their mechanical ...

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 ...

Professional Training and Clinical/Radiographic Factors Associated With Endodontic Decision‐Making: A Before‐and‐After Study

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Endodontic decision‐making is influenced by clinicians' professional training and by the clinical and radiographic characteristics of each case. This study aimed to assess the association of these factors with treatment decisions and to determine whether the addition of clinical information modifies treatment choices compared with

The influence of post‐curing protocols on the optical properties of provisional and long‐term 3D‐printable resin composites

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study determined the influence of post‐curing protocols on the color stability of provisional and long‐term 3D‐printable resin composites. Disc‐shaped specimens were fabricated from a provisional (Prov) and long‐term (Crown) 3D‐printable resin composites using a digital light processing printer.

The malate–aspartate shuttle supports thermogenic lipid mobilization in brown adipocytes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Brown fat cells burn lipids within their mitochondria to generate heat. This process involves two energy “shuttles,” one of which is naturally blocked during heat production. We found that the second shuttle (MASh) is not required to generate heat. However, when MASh is disabled, the fatty acids meant for fuel are instead converted back into stored fat.

Characterization of dermatan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate profiles during brain regeneration in Styela plicata

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Adult ascidians are capable of regenerating their entire brains following injury, and glycosaminoglycans have been shown to either promote or inhibit neuritogenesis. In this study, dermatan 2,6‐disulfate (D2,6S) was identified as the predominant complex carbohydrate in the ascidian brain.
