Assessing the influence of titanium dioxide nanotubes incorporation on thermal and thermomechanical characteristics of 3D‐printed denture base resin

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose This study aims to evaluate the effects of adding titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes (NTs) to three‐dimensional (3D) printed denture base resin on the thermal and thermomechanical properties, which have high clinical relevance. Materials and Methods TiO2 NTs with dimensions of 30–70 nm in diameter and 2–4 µm in length were added to the ...

Obstetric racism in Europe: Linguistic racism, exoticization, and uneven reproduction in the Netherlands

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we conceptualize how Davis’ two concepts of uneven reproduction and obstetric racism—both rooted in the US context—are effectuated in the Netherlands. We consider uneven reproduction to consist of bio‐ and necropolitics, namely the management and regulation of a population's bodies, life and death.
