3D‐Printed Sinus Lift Training Models as an Educational Tool for Dental Students
ABSTRACT Purpose/Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate whether 3D‐printed models can be an inexpensive and suitable way to train dental students to perform a sinus lift. Methods The sinus lift model was created using CAD/CAM technology. Approximately one year prior to their final examination, thirty‐one dental students evaluated and tested ...

This study compares two techniques for creating lead shielding masks to replace the current process for superficial/orthovoltage facial radiotherapy: Plaster Cast Positive Mould (PCPM), CT Scanned 3D Print (CT3DP), and Optical Scan 3D Print (OS3DP). CT3DP was found to be more accurate and preferred over OS3DP.

ABSTRACT Volcanic ash (tephra) provides an important chronostratigraphic framework for correlating Quaternary records. In ultra‐distal ( > $\gt $1500 km) settings such as ice cores and marine sediments, deposits are typically preserved as cryptotephra composed of glass shards ≤ 20 μ $\le 20\,\mu

Synergistic effects of maize defoliation and common bean relay cropping in Western Ethiopia
Abstract Background Maize defoliation is practiced to enhance crop management by improving light penetration, nutrient allocation, controlling weeds, and providing supplementary feeds for livestock. A rapid decline in soil fertility and low crop yields associated with maize‐based monocropping has prompted the recent introduction of maize common bean ...

Reduced compression time is not sufficient for stability in patellar buttons
Abstract Purpose Patellar resurfacing in total knee arthroplasty requires stable cement fixation of the patellar button. Unlike femoral and tibial components, the patellar button is held under manual compression until cement curing, potentially prolonging operative time.
