Purpose: This study evaluated the usability of and satisfaction with two types of computer-aided design (CAD) software among users who had experience with dental implant CAD software and those who did not. Materials and Methods: Dental technicians (n = 20) who had previous experience with dental implant CAD Software and students from the College of Dentistry (n = 12) who had never designed implant custom abutments were asked to evaluate two types of CAD Software, Exocad and Deltanine. In addition, the participants were asked to fill out a structured questionnaire (Section 1: Entering basic information and retrieving files; Section 2: Setting conditions before abutment design; Section 3: Setting abutment design; and Section 4: Overall satisfaction). For the statistical analysis of the collected data, Mann-Whitney U test was used (${\alpha}=.05$). Results: The ease of design and satisfaction with the implant CAD Software, evaluated with respect to 21 statements divided into four Stages, were significantly higher for Exocad in both groups for Secion 1. For Sections 2 and 3, participants with experience evaluated Deltanine to be significantly better. For Section 4, both groups evaluated Exocad Software to be better. Conclusion: Overall, the Exocad Software was evaluated as having better usability and offering greater satisfaction. However, in terms of performance in the core of the design process, i.e. Sections 2 and 3, Deltanine was rated higher by the experienced users. Thus, if the user interface design parts are supplemented, Deltanine CAD Software could be put to a wider use in clinics.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the effect of prolonged sandblasting on the bond durability of dual-cure adhesive resin cement to computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) restoratives. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Nano-ceramic LAVA Ultimate and hybrid-ceramic VITA Enamic CAD/CAM blocks were used for this study. Each CAD/CAM block was sectioned into slabs of 4-mm thickness for the microtensile test (${\mu}TBS$) test and 2-mm thickness for the surface roughness test. Three groups were created according to the sandblasting protocols; group 1: specimens were sandblasted for 15 seconds, group 2: specimens were sandblasted for 30 seconds, and group 3: specimens were sandblasted for 60 seconds. After sandblasting, all specimens were luted using RelyX Ultimate Clicker. Half the specimens were subjected to ${\mu}TBS$ tests at 24 hours, and the other half were subjected to tests after 5000 thermocycles. Additionally, a total of 96 CAD/CAM block sections were prepared for surface roughness tests and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) evaluations. The Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance, and Dunn's post hoc test were used to compare continuous variables among the groups. RESULTS. At baseline, group 1, group 2, and group 3 exhibited statistically similar ${\mu}TBS$ results for LAVA. However, group 3 had significantly lower ${\mu}TBS$ values than groups 1 and 2 for VITA. After 5000 thermocycles, ${\mu}TBS$ values significantly decreased for each block (P<.05). CONCLUSION. It is important to perform controlled sandblasting because it may affect bond strength results. Sixty seconds of sandblasting disturbs the initial ${\mu}TBS$ values and the stability of adhesion of CAD/CAM restoratives to dual-cure adhesive resin cement for VITA Enamic.

In this paper, we propose a method that directly converts 3D CAD files for handheld phones designed by a commercial CAD S/W, PATRAN, to FDTD modeling with 1mm resolution. To qualify the accuracy of this method, we compared the calculation of radiation pattern using 3D transient far zone transformation with the measured results by gain comparison method in anechoic chamber and the difference is less than 0.5 dB. The calculation of magnetic field distributions on the front of handheld phones has been done to find a factor contributes to SAR. The result showed up the H-field in the width direction of the phone gives more dominant effect than the field in the length or inside to the front direction.

CAD/CAM system may have such advantages of cost reduction, production time shortening, and product quality improvement. But current advanced versions of CAD/CAM system for 3-D NC data generation are too much expensive to purchase and too difficult to make full use for small-scale manufacturers whose main products are of 2-D simple shapes. The objective of this paper is to introduce a cost-effective way to 2-D NC data generation with a widely spread CAD software. Using VISUAL LISP in the well-known AUTO-CAD, the contents and steps of an automatic NC data generation program are presented for 2-D machining of contours and pockets. To approve the usefulness of program, a test application to a real part is exhibited also.

It was proposed that technologies derived from CAD-CAM and computed tomography may be useful for flapless implant treatment procedures. The aims of this study were to validate the reliability of this concept in a prospective 12-month clinical study. Twelve patients with fully edentulous areas in their mandibles were included in this study. A total of 71 implants were inserted in interforaminal regions by use of a CAD/CAM drill template($NobelGuide^{TM}$), specially designed for flapless implant surgery. To assess the degree of pain and discomfort, the patients were examined at 2 days and 1 week after surgery. Patient satisfaction and implant functionality were further evaluated at follow-up intervals of 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. One implant failed early in 1 patient. All of the other implants were in a good functional state throughout the study. The mean marginal bone loss after 1 year of follow-up was 0.3 mm (SD, 0.1) at center, 0.5 mm (SD, 0.1) at canine and 0.7 mm (SD, 0.2) at distal fixtures, respectively. Statistically, there was not significant differences among each sites(P>.05)The mean ISQ change after 1 year of follow-up was -1.05 (SD, 2.76) at center, -0.85 (SD, 2.59) at canine and -1.27 (SD, 2.18) at distal fixtures, respectively. This prospective pilot study showed that the use of CAD/CAM technology and flapless implant surgery may be considered reliable for fully edentulous mandible of patients.

To investigate the mechanism of germ cell death in postnatal stage of mouse, the involvement of apoptotic executioners, caspase-3 and caspase-activated DNase(CAD), and apoptotic initiators, Bax Fas and Fas ligand, in the germ cell death has been studied. Immune-labels of active caspase-3 and CAD were located in TUNEL-positive, apoptotic, oocytes as well as normal oocytes of primary or secondary follicles. CAD immune-labels were also detected in the nucleus of TUNEL-positive oocytes. Most of oocytes showing positive immune-labeling of active caspase-3 or CAD had vacuoles in their cytoplasm, which is the morphological characteristic of oocyte during folliclar atresia. Bax immune-stains were detected in the atretic oocytes which showed the vacuole in their cytoplasm. Positive immune-labels for Fas ligand was localized in TUNEL-positive or atretic oocytes. Presence of immunoreactivity of active caspase-3 and CAD in TUNEL-positive germ cells implicate that active raspase-3 and CAD might play a role in germ cell apoptosis during early development of mouse ovarian follicle. Immunohistochemical localization of Bax and Fas ligand in TUNEL-positive oocytes suggests that these might be the most plausible modulator of oocyte apoptosis.
