Accurate casting to achieve a passive prosthesis is very important. Also, fabrication of a restoration because of the proximity implants remains a challenge. In this case report, one approach to this problem is discussed. Also, the goal of this study is analyzing fabrication an implant level cast with the help of angled abutment and acrylic resin cap. The advantage of the mentioned method is th...

A concept for the casting of metallic fuels pins containing low vapor pressure materials is presented and discussed. The important physics of this concept include the mass transport of americium from the melt, the induction heating and stirring of the melt, plus the casting of long slender fuel rods. This paper discusses and presents preliminary modeling results for the casting of long, slender...

The casting production is considered as one of the main factors influencing the development of world economy. actual capacity of the world’s casting production, which is higher than 60 million metric tones per year, is strongly diversified. The last decade brought significant changes in the world map of the greatest casting producers. Globalisation and transformation of economic systems is refl...

Casting as a treatment of scoliosis has been practiced since 1800s. However, the practice fell into disfavor following the serious chest deformities and thoracic constrictions secondary to casting, as well as tremendous improvements in the surgical modalities. Recently, there has been a resurgence of this technique in early-onset scoliosis (EOS) and it has been considered to be a definitive tre...

New Mg-3Zn-2Ca magnesium alloy was prepared using different processing techniques: gravity casting as well as squeeze casting in liquid and semisolid states. Materials were further thermally treated; thermal treatment of the gravity cast alloy was additionally combined with the equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). Alloy processed by the squeeze casting in liquid as well as in semisolid state ...

Lost-foam (also known as Expendable Pattern Casting, EPC) is an ever-growing metal casting technique, capable of producing complex metal components without parting lines. Mold preparation for lost-foam casting is typically accurate, but expensive and slow. The goal of this research was to develop a new approach for producing rapid lost-foam molds. With this new approach, patterns generated by S...

Many controversies exist regarding the practicality, the theoretical premises, and the supporting evidence for the use of casts in the management of joint hypomobility and hypertonia (ie, increase in joint resistance to passive movement resulting from hyperactivity of the stretch reflex and/or changes in the muscles and connective tissues). The purpose of this review was to determine current be...
