INFLUENCE OF THE ANGLE OF CERVICAL CONVERGENCE ON STRESSES TO THE PDL OF ABUTMENTS: A 3D ANALYSIS USING FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Influence of the Angle of Cervical Convergence on Stresses to the PDL of Abutments: A 3D Analysis Using Finite Element Method

Objective: This study was designed to compare the stress produced at the PDL of abutment teeth with two orbit atomizer angles of cervical convergence, in otherwise similar settings.Materials and Methods: Two finite element models were designed for a second premolar and a removable partial denture frame containing an I-bar clasp.Maximum Principal St

Elderly male with late-onset heroin dependence

Substance use disorders usually have their onset during the adolescent period.However, in rare cases environmental and psychosocial factors can contribute toward a later onset.We describe a case of an elderly male who initiated his heroin use for the first time at 65 years of age and eventually developed dependence.This late-onset of heroin use dan

The Challenge of Sustainability: Turning Science into Art

This paper addresses the critical question of how to turn climate concern into climate action as we move forward towards the 1.5-degree Celsius global warming target adopted by COP 26 in 2021 and reaffirmed by COP 27 in 2022.It argues that it has taken scientists more than a Century to accept, first: that climate change is real and second: that it

Modeling ore quality using ore caving technique

Relevance of the research is caused by the need to expand the application of sublevel caving with front draw owing to the trend of mining conversion to underground method.The conversion is limited by a high yellow shirt relics level of ore losses and dilution.The aim of the research is to study the possibility of reducing ore technical losses and d
