Correlation Between the New Bite Force Meter and GC Dental Prescale II
This study evaluated a new one‐sided bite force meter (OBM‐01). In healthy and older adults, the device showed good reliability and moderate correlation with Dental Prescale II measurements. Habitual chewing side bite force was significantly higher, suggesting OBM‐01 may be useful for assessing oral function in clinical settings.

Abstract A technique is described to obtain a 3D‐printed custom tray for complete dentures through open‐source, free software and additive manufacturing. This approach enables the production of custom trays in a cost‐effective and optimized manner. A three‐dimensional (3D) digital cast is obtained by photogrammetry and later used to design a digital ...

Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate
Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.

Electromyographic Assessment of Sleep Bruxism in Patients With Periodontitis: A Case–Control Study
ABSTRACT Objective The relationship between periodontitis and bruxism has always been a matter of debate. The aim of the present paper is to investigate the association between advanced stages of periodontitis (Stage III/IV) and the intensity and duration of sleep bruxism events, measured as bruxism work index (BWI) and bruxism time index (BTI) through
