Abstract:
Customization of post-and-cores using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) requires the scanning of a pattern and the subsequent digital design. This technique describes a method of fabricating a CAD-CAM-customized post-and-core designed from a scanned polyvinyl siloxane impression and milled from a nanoparticle/nanocluster-filled resin block. The polyvinyl siloxane impression allowed a faster and more efficient customization of the CAD-CAM post-and-core than a conventional acrylic resin pattern. The properties of the nanoparticle/nanocluster filled resin block make the material suitable for chairside CAD-CAM post-and-core fabrication.

The paradox
Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...
