Interface Wettability Transition‐Driven Drug Release and Dual‐Phase Functionalization in Implant Abutment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A temporally controlled drug release coating is developed for abutments using a superhydrophobic coating self‐assembled on mesoporous silica. This surface provides sequential functionality: initial contamination resistance through non‐wetting, followed by controlled drug release via wettability transition.

Influence of the lateral pterygoid muscle on the growth of the mandibular condilar cartilage

Revista Ciencias de la Salud, 2013
At the end of the last century, a model to explain clinical observations related to the mandibular growth was developed. According to it, the lateral pterigoid muscle (LPM) was one of the main modulators of the differentiation of mesenquimal cells inside

Smart Denture with Embedded Thin‐Film Temperature Sensors Patterned by Femtosecond Laser Pulse for Elderly Healthcare

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
We demonstrate the direct‐laser patterning of a gold thin film on polymethyl methacrylate to fabricate a temperature sensor for dentures. The temperature sensor‐embedded smart dentures are evaluated in an oral environment, enabling in‐situ monitoring for elderly healthcare.

Seeing Through the Face: Robust Facial Diagnosis Enhanced by Landmark Detection and Pose Normalization

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a robust, generalizable new approach for facial type diagnosis. Based on landmark detection and pose normalization, a 94.7% diagnostic accuracy is achieved by Combined Heatmap Regression and Coordinate Regression network. This research makes the AI‐generated preliminary diagnosis more interpretable and reducing the impact of ...

Pathophysiological mechanism of the developing maxillofacial radicular cyst [PDF]

Acta chirurgica Iugoslavica, 2008
The radicular cysts are result of inflammatory process in the periapical tissues associated with necrotic and infected pulps. Humoral and cellular immune responses play a central role in the pathogenesis of these lesions. The most important role in the growth of these lesion have proinflammatore cytokine TNF-?, IL-1 and IL-6.
