Article Abstract
Background: Contemporary fixed orthodontic appliances are shifting from non-customized pre-adjusted appliances to custom-designed and printed appliances with novel digital setup systems. We are one step closer to precision dentistry and orthodontics using personalized mechanics and custom appliances. However, despite the evidential enhancement and other improvements to fixed appliances, tooth movement is still limited to five degrees of freedom. Opening or closing spaces still requires manually placing elastomeric chains or coil springs.
Aim: In this article, we aimed to demonstrate how advancements in CAD/CAM technology, reverse engineering, and digital customization are helping orthodontics constantly evolve, enabling treatment with enhanced esthetics and minimal compliance. The clinical system (InBrace®, Irvine, CA) described in this article uses a patient-specific, digitally designed multiloop NITI wire that delivers friction-free, light, and continuous forces and activates automatically whenever the malocclusion deviates from the digital setup.
Conclusion: Through digital customization, InBrace allows for automated tooth movement in all six degrees of freedom, including space opening or closure, via programmed non-sliding mechanics.
Clinical Significance: Precision orthodontics and personalized treatment have been significant developments in orthodontics recently. This article focuses on how a technologically advanced lingual appliance system could achieve targeted cosmetic results methodically via automation and personalization.

A digital workflow merging root submergence, immediate dental implant and definitive intermediate abutment placements, and custom healing abutment fabrication to enhance esthetic and biological outcomes in immediate implant procedures is described. The procedure involves a prosthetically driven plan on intraoral and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, digital planning using a specialized software program, the creation of a surgical guide, and the digital design of custom components. A 3-dimensionally (3D) printed healing abutment was produced by following specific protocols.

Aims: We sought to explore staff experience of a paediatric randomized controlled trial (RCT), comparing operative fixation and nonoperative treatment for displaced medial epicondyle fractures.
Methods: A total of 20 staff (eight surgeons and 12 research delivery staff) recruiting to the RCT in 18 NHS Trusts across the UK took part in a telephone/online qualitative interview. Interviews were informed by Heideggerian Phenomenology and thematic analysis.

Campylobacter jejuni is the leading cause of foodborne illness in humans, typically after consuming contaminated chicken meat, and it holds significant public health importance. C. jejuni enters viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state in response to various environmental stressors, including low temperatures and nutrient starvation.

Background: Despite the Coronary Artery Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) providing a standardized approach, radiologists continue to favor free-text reports. This preference creates significant challenges for data extraction and analysis in longitudinal studies, potentially limiting large-scale research and quality assessment initiatives.
Objective: To evaluate the ability of the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT)-4o model to convert real-world coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) free-text reports into structured data and automatically identify CAD-RADS categories and P categories.
