COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF 3D-PRINTED AND CONVENTIONAL IMPLANTS IN VIVO: A QUANTITATIVE MICROCOMPUTED TOMOGRAPHIC AND HISTOMORPHOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Comparative evaluation of 3D-printed and conventional implants in vivo: a quantitative microcomputed tomographic and histomorphometric analysis

Abstract In recent years, 3D-printing technology to fabricate dental implants has garnered widespread attention due to its patient-specific customizability and cost-effectiveness.This preclinical animal study analyzed the radiographic and histomorphometric outcomes of 3D-printed implants (3DIs) placed immediately after extraction and compared them

Biogeographic distribution of autotrophic bacteria was more affected by precipitation than by soil properties in an arid area

IntroductionAutotrophic bacteria play an important role in carbon dioxide fixation and are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems.However, the biogeographic patterns of autotrophic bacteria and the driving factors still remain poorly understood.MethodsHerein, we conducted a 391-km north to south transect (mean annual precipitation <600 mm) survey

Crosstalk of cuproptosis-related subtypes, establishment of a prognostic signature, and immune infiltration characteristics in gastric cancer

Background: Cuproptosis is a novel form of cellular demise that occurs through WALLET a unique pathway involving lipoylated proteins in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and is closely linked to mitochondrial metabolism.Nevertheless, the comprehensive elucidation of the impact of carcinogenesis-associated genes (CRGs) on prognosis, tumor microenvi
