Abstract Objective Operating time is one of the main advantages attributed from the literature to the use of self‐ligating brackets (SLB). The aim of this study is to investigate the time needed for a complete archwire change procedure with conventional brackets (CB) and SLBs in a standardized in vitro research setting, comparing operators with ...

Supervariate Gel Transforms into Various Biominerals in Salt Solutions
It is revealed that common calcium‐based biominerals can form from a stable, non‐toxic ‘supervariate’ gel. This tunable gel selectively yields calcite or hydroxyapatite in carbonate/phosphate solutions, while CaCl₂ facilitates the formation of dihydrate calcium pyrophosphate, which converts to hydroxyapatite upon drying. These findings provide insights

Abstract Objective To investigate the fatigue behavior of cast and laser‐sintered cobalt‐chromium (CoCr) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material for a removable partial denture (RPD) clasps. Methods Dumbbell‐shaped specimens were digitally designed with the center part of the dumbbell being a half‐round shape at the cross‐sectional dimension of 1.25 ...

A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Carbon‐based piezoelectric materials are systematically categorized based on their structural and functional properties. The mechanisms of stress‐induced charge transfer are elucidated, and their applications are explored across three key domains: piezoelectric catalysis for energy conversion and environmental remediation, piezoelectric biomedical ...

Abstract Objectives Mechanical properties are cardinal for the long‐term clinical success of laminate veneer restorations but the selection of new restorative materials should ideally be based on clinical evidence, therefore, in vitro testing of dental materials is a good alternative to evaluate their properties and understand their behavior so this ...

Final Maxillary Incisor Inclination in Class II Div 1 Malocclusion Treated with Standard Edge Wises or Straight Wire Appliances [PDF]
Introduction: There are different orthodontic treatment systems, and currently the most common include standard edgewise and straightwire. Achieving ideal axial inclinations of all teeth at the end of active treatment is regarded as one of the criteria ...
