In vitro evaluation of the precision of working casts for implant-supported restoration with multiple abutments

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of two working cast fabrication techniques using strain-gauge analysis. Methods: Two working cast fabrication methods were evaluated. Based on a master model, 20 working casts were fabricated by means of an indirect impression technique using polyether after splinting the square transfer copings with acrylic resin. Specimens were assigned to 2 groups (n=10): Group A (GA): type IV dental stone was poured around the abutment analogs in the conventional way; Group B (GB), the dental stone was poured in two stages. Spacers were used over the abutment analogs (rubber tubes) and type IV dental stone was poured around the abutment analogs in the conventional way. After the stone had hardened completely, the spacers were removed and more stone was inserted in the spaces created. Six strain-gauges (Excel Ltd.), positioned in a cast bar, which was dimensionally accurate (perfect fit) to the master model, recorded the microstrains generated by each specimen. Data were analyzed statistically by the variance analysis (ANOVA) and Tukey's test (α= 5%). Results: The microstrain values (με) were (mean±SD): GA: 263.7±109.07με, and GB: 193.73±78.83με. Conclusion: There was no statistical difference between the two methods studied.

Harmonic superspace from the AdS5 × S5 pure spinor formalism

On-shell supergravity vertex operators in an AdS 5 × S 5 background are described in the pure spinor formalism by the zero mode cohomology of a BRST operator. After expanding the pure spinor BRST operator in terms of the AdS 5 radius variable, this cohomology is computed using $ \mathcal{N}=4 $ harmonic superspace variables and explicit super-field expressions are obtained for the behavior of supergravity vertex operators near the boundary of AdS 5. © 2013 SISSA, Trieste, Italy.

Dynamical twisting and the b ghost in the pure spinor formalism

After adding an RNS-like fermionic vector ψ m to the pure spinor formalism, the non-minimal b ghost takes a simple form similar to the pure spinor BRST operator. The N=2 superconformal field theory generated by the b ghost and the BRST current can be interpreted as a dynamical twisting of the RNS formalism where the choice of which spin 1/2 ψ m variables are twisted into spin 0 and spin 1 variables is determined by the pure spinor variables that parameterize the coset SO(10)/U(5). © 2013 SISSA, Trieste, Italy.

La creciente heterogeneidad en la edad al primer hijo en el Uruguay: un análisis de las cohortes de 1951 a 1990

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los cambios en la edad al primer hijo de las mujeres uruguayas nacidas entre 1951 y 1990. Los datos provienen del Censo Nacional de Población de 2011, en que se incluyó por primera vez una pregunta sobre el año de nacimiento del primer hijo para las mujeres con al menos un hijo nacido vivo. Mediante la construcción de tablas de vida se calcularon las probabilidades condicionales del nacimiento del primer hijo y la proporción de mujeres sin hijos, por edad. Para examinar las diferencias dentro de la cohorte, se utilizó la distribución de sus integrantes según los años aprobados en la enseñanza formal. La proporción de mujeres que inician la maternidad en la adolescencia prácticamente no exhibe cambios entre las cohortes, mientras que aumenta de manera sostenida el porcentaje de mujeres que aplazan la maternidad hasta después de los 30 años. Este patrón, fuertemente asociado con el nivel educativo, determina la creciente heterogeneidad de la edad al primer hijo en el Uruguay.

A MICROSTRAIN COMPARISON OF PASSIVELY FITTING SCREW-RETAINED AND CEMENTED TITANIUM FRAMEWORKS

Statement of problem. An imprecise fit between frameworks and supporting dental implants in loaded protocols increases the strain transferred to the periimplant bone, which may impair healing or generate microgaps.Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the microstrain between premachined 1-piece screw-retained frameworks (group STF) and screw-retained frameworks fabricated by cementing titanium cylinders to the prefabricated framework (group CTF). This procedure was developed to correct the misfit between frameworks and loaded implants.Material and methods. Four internal hexagon cylindrical implants were placed 10 mm apart in a polyurethane block by using the surgical guides of the corresponding implant system. Previously fabricated titanium frameworks (n=10) were divided into 2 groups. In group STF, prefabricated machined frameworks were used (n=5), and, in group CTF, the frameworks were fabricated by using a passive fit procedure, which was developed to correct the misfit between the cast titanium frameworks and supporting dental implants (n=5). Both groups were screw-retained under torque control (10 Ncm). Six strain gauges were placed on the upper surface of the polyurethane block, and 3 strain measurements were recorded for each framework. Data were analyzed with the Student t test (alpha=.05).Results. The mean microstrain values between the framework and the implants were significantly higher for group STF (2517 me) than for group CTF (844 me) (P<.05).Conclusions. Complete-arch implant frameworks designed for load application and fabricated by using the passive fit procedure decreased the strain between the frameworks and implants more than 1 piece prefabricated machined frameworks.

Estudo da deformação heterogênea no ensaio do anel de atrito

The plastic deformation is widely used in the metallurgical market due to its positive factors such as low prices and high speed production. Forming process products are obtained in high quality, both surface quality and mechanical properties. Friction is an importante factor in metal forming. Friction study in metal forming can be accomplished indirectly, such as the ring test of friction. Two samples of different materials being mild steel and copper alloy were used. The results showed the influence of friction in the flow behavior of the deformation of the second phase, as evidenced by standard metallography. It is observed that in the outer regions of the ring, plastic deformation occured in the radial direction. In the central region of the disc deformation occured in the direction of compression and the inner region of the ring flux lines showed a significant deformation in the radial direction towards the center of the ring
