Article Abstract
Purpose: To observe the resistance to cyclic fatigue of maxillary incisors with flared canals restored with three post-and-core materials.
Methods: Standard cylindrical samples with flared canals were made of 48 human maxillary central incisors and were assigned randomly to two groups (without ferrule and 2mm ferrule). Each main group was then divided into 3 sub-groups of 8 specimens and restored with cast metal post-core-crown,carbon fiber+resin composite post-core-crown ,and glass fiber+resin composite post-core-crown, respectively. Each group was subjected to a cyclic fatigue test, and the numbers of load cycles that had tooth fracture were measured with cyclic fatigue testing machine. All data were analyzed statistically for two-way ANOVA with SPSS 12.0 software package.
Results: Fiber+resin composite post-core-crown showed significantly higher fatigue strength than cast metal post-core-crown in the two groups(P<0.05). Preparing dentin ferrules increased significantly fatigue resistance(P<0.05).
Conclusion: Fiber post-and-core system may get a long fatigue life in restoring pulpless teeth.Dentin ferrule preparation is necessary to enhance resistance to cyclic fatigue.

Two Million Cycle Fatigue Performance of Custom and Stock Conical-Hex Abutments: A Removal Torque and SEM Study.

Introduction: Screw loosening remains a frequent mechanical complication in implant-supported prostheses, primarily caused by the gradual loss of abutment-screw preload. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical performance of CAD-CAM custom and stock abutments by measuring removal torque values (RTV) at multiple time points and assessing surface morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), following prolonged loading up to 2 × 10 cycles.
Methods: Forty-four implant-abutment assemblies with an internal conical-hex connection were divided into two groups: Stock abutments (SA) and custom abutments (CA).

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of cross-section geometry on the mechanical properties of nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments by comparing two instruments with identical tip size, taper, and thermal treatment but differing in cross-section design.
Methods: One hundred four NiTi rotary instruments, being S-shaped and triangular cross-section, manufactured with Blueish thermal treatment, were tested (n = 52 per group). Differential scanning calorimetry was employed, and the metal mass volume and cross-section area were assessed.

The aim of this study is to present a compound core manufacturing defect identified in a nickel-titanium (NiTi) instrument via fractographic analysis during additional retrospective analysis after dynamic cyclic fatigue resistance testing. This study raises awareness of core manufacturing defects and fosters the development of high-quality NiTi instruments without defects for clinical application. A scanning electron microscope with an acceleration voltage of 5 kV was used for fractographic analysis after cyclic fatigue testing.

This study aimed to quantify how repetitive tensile loading alters the mechanical and structural properties of the annulus fibrosus (AF). Mechanical changes were evaluated through a three-step protocol involving pre-damage characterization of dynamic and viscoelastic properties, damage induction using predetermined loading cycles (n=400, 1600, 6400, 12,800) to a specified strain magnitude (11 %, 20 %, 28 %, 44 %), and post-damage characterization of the same properties. Structural changes were assessed by subjecting tissue to damage cycles and staining with hematoxylin and eosin or fluorescing collagen hybridizing peptides (F-CHP).

This paper presents the development, modeling, and analysis of an autonomous active ankle prosthesis with two degrees of freedom (2-DoF), designed to reproduce movements in the sagittal (dorsiflexion/plantarflexion) and frontal (inversion/eversion) planes in order to enhance the stability and naturalness of the user's gait. Unlike most commercial prostheses, which typically feature only one active degree of freedom, the proposed device combines a lightweight mechanical design, a screw drive with a stepper motor, and a microcontroller-based control system. The prototype was developed using CAD modeling in SolidWorks 2024, followed by dynamic modeling and finite element analysis (FEA).
