Influence of material surface on the scanning error of a powder-free 3D measuring system
Conclusions The inaccuracies between the tooth and material surfaces, as well as the scan noise for the materials, were within the range of error for measurements used for conventional impressions and are therefore negligible. The presence of water, however, greatly affects the scan. Clinical relevance The tested powder-free 3D measuring system can safely be used to scan different material surfaces without the prior application of a powder, although drying of the surface prior to scanning is highly advisable.

The effects of static pressure on chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation in condylar chondrocytes from temporomandibular joint
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a common disease in the oral and maxillofacial region. Orofacial pain, joint sounds, and abnormal mandibular movement are common clinical manifestations of TMD.1,2 The aetiology and pathological mechanisms of TMD are still unclear. Usually, the condyle bears the pressure from jaw movements, and the disc plays an important role in buffering and dispersing pressure. When the disc loses its normal function, the physical microenvironment of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) will be destroyed and the intra-articular pressure will abnormally elevate.
