Do NOT use the Double Cord Technique in the Traditional Manner for Digital Impressions
There is a concept in digital dentistry that is called “mixing good and bad data”. What you have to appreciate is that two different objects can’t occupy the same space in the same 3D model. The clinical example of this is when you pack 2 cords, image the margins, then remove the top cord and image the preparation some more. This introduces a lot of errors and distortion at ...

CD Genomics Perspective: High-Throughput Sequencing Approach to Explore the Human Microbiome
The Use of Microbiome Sequencing in Cancer Research A growing body of evidence now suggests that human microbial dysbiosis has a crucial role in cancer development and progression. Unlike earlier studies relying on culturing bacteria from the tissue of cancer, high-throughput sequencing methods have enabled genotyping the microbial ecosystem within cancer tissue from hundreds to thousands of ...

Nitinol Applications
Although many nitinol applications are not well-known to the public, some applications are quite routine and familiar. The spectacle frame made of Nitinol severely deformed and then returned to normal. Similarly, a few years ago, when mobile phone antennas were made of Nitinol, they could bend without breaking or permanently bending. Another superelastic application of Nitinol is for orthodontic ...

PIOON 450nm blue diode laser - An innovative tool in modern dental practice
Compared to traditional treatments, the main principle of dental diode laser cutting soft tissue is to heat the tissue with a hot tip contact. By converting light energy into heat energy at the tip end, the high temperature can be high enough to evaporate the soft tissue. Dental diode lasers have significant advantages, mainly scarless wound healing and improved bacterial reduction. For patients, ...

Classification and Function of Amylase
Amylase (AMS), also known as 1,4-α-D-glucanohydrolase, is a general term for enzymes that hydrolyze starch and glycogen. The main function of amylase is to break down starch to produce simple sugars such as fructose, maltose, glucose and dextrin. Amylases are also used in food and beverage processing and other industries. Classification of amylases 1. Alpha-amylase Alpha-amylase is mainly ...

Sources, Functions and Therapeutic Applications of Bromelain
Bromelain is closely related to pineapple. Chemist Vicente Marcano first discovered bromelain in pineapple in 1891, and then another chemist, Russell Henry Chittenden, extracted bromelain from pineapple fruit, which was then called "proteolytic enzyme in pineapple juice". Scientists have found that ripe pineapple stems have higher levels of bromelain. Many tropical fruits, such as papaya, mango, ...

The Effects of Excipients on Pharmaceutical Preparations in Drug Design
Excipients are very important for pharmaceutical preparations. It can be said that without excipients, there will be no pharmaceutical preparations, let alone different pharmaceutical dosage forms such as powders, granules, tablets, oral liquids or injections. When the drug and the appropriate excipients are combined into a specific dosage form, the drug would become safer, more stable and more ...

Science: Blocking fibrin holds promise for the treatment of periodontal disease
In a new study, researchers from the National Institute of Dental Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) have found that blocking the function of a coagulation protein prevents bone loss caused by periodontal (gingival) disease in mice. According to animal and human data, they found that the accumulation of this clotting protein called fibrin triggers an excessive immune response that damages the gingiva ...
