Comfort and Usability of Digital Versus Conventional Custom‐Fit Mouthguards: A Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesDental Traumatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives The use of mouthguards protects teeth and the supporting tissues against impacts. Digital impressions and 3D‐printed models can reduce manufacturing steps and minimize discomfort. This study evaluated the fit, comfort, and usability of custom‐made mouthguards, obtained by conventional and digital workflow, in amateur ...

The influence of post‐curing protocols on the optical properties of provisional and long‐term 3D‐printable resin composites

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract This study determined the influence of post‐curing protocols on the color stability of provisional and long‐term 3D‐printable resin composites. Disc‐shaped specimens were fabricated from a provisional (Prov) and long‐term (Crown) 3D‐printable resin composites using a digital light processing printer.

Optimizing diphenyl(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide concentration and post‐curing time to balance mechanical properties and color stability in a three‐dimensional‐printed restorative resin

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) printing is widely used in dental restorations; however, optimization of photoinitiator concentration and post‐curing protocols remains critical to achieve a balance between mechanical and esthetic performance. This study evaluated the combined effect of diphenyl(2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO) concentration

Lack of Compliance in Gillnet Fisheries Regulations Increases Risk to a Vulnerable Species

open access: yesFisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents an analysis of regulatory compliance in a Brazilian gillnet fishery, based on Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracking data. Satellite transmissions records, interpreted as proxies for gillnet haulings events, were analyzed and classified using a neural network to assess the level of compliance of the gillnet fleet.

Transcriptomic and proteomic signatures underlying nymphal adaptation and foam production in the forage pest Mahanarva spectabilis

open access: yesInsect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
RNA‐seq and Batelli gland proteomics of fifth‐instar Mahanarva spectabilis nymphs reveal transcripts and proteins associated with xylem feeding, foam production and environmental interaction. Functional annotation identified genes involved in osmoregulation, detoxification, chemosensation and stress responses, while proteomic analysis confirmed ...

A Two‐Step PCR Workflow Reveals Predominance of Flavobacterium covae in Ornamental Fish With Clinical Signs of Columnaris Disease

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Columnaris is an important bacterial disease of freshwater fish and is increasingly recognised as being caused by a species complex historically referred to as Flavobacterium columnare. A two‐step molecular workflow was applied to ornamental fish with clinical signs of columnaris disease from a multispecies commercial distributor operating a ...

An Effective Machine Learning for Prioritizing Hearing Loss Screening in Older Adults: A Primary Care Approach

open access: yesJournal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background/Objectives The high prevalence of hearing impairment in older adults and the scarcity of diagnostic resources in primary health care (PHC) highlight the need for solutions based on artificial intelligence. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a decision tree model to prioritize hearing examinations in this population. Methods An

A Review on Image Processing and Fractal Analysis in Oral Potentially Malignant Disorders

open access: yesOral Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The clinical evaluation of patients with oral potentially malignant disorders is primarily based on physical examination and observable clinical features. Clinical photographs play a key role in patient monitoring and help identify signs that may indicate malignant transformation.
