A total of 118 healthy patients (52 male, 66 female), with an average age of 27 years, were assessed “to compare the peak incidence of success, onset, and incidence of pulpal anesthesia from 2 to 68 minutes in maxillary first molars following a buccal infiltration of 1.8 mL or 3.6 mL of 4% articaine with 1:100 000 epinephrine.” Patients were randomized into two groups and underwent two instances of receiving anesthesia spaced two weeks apart. Each patient received the 1.8- and 3.6-mL doses at the first appointment and then the opposite amount at the second to compare the results.
Woo et al. report that they found no statistical significance for the anesthetic success, which occurred between 14 and 18 minutes, for either volume. This was also true of the onset times (4.5 minutes for 1.8 mL; 4.5 for 3.4 mL). The significance occurred in the incidence of anesthesia at minute 48. The researchers found a greater decline in the incidence for the 1.8-mL volume from 48 to 68 minutes. For both the 1.8-mL and 3.4-mL volumes, the incidence began to decline at about 30 minutes, with the greatest decline happening at 48 minutes. However, 78% of patients had a higher incidence rate of pulpal anesthesia, from 48 to 68 minutes. Neither volume was successful at providing anesthesia for all subjects for 60 minutes.
This study shows that increasing the volume of anesthesia from 1.8 to 3.4 mL for lengthy dental procedures provided a longer pain control duration in procedures lasting more than 48 minutes. However, it also highlighted the need for additional action in administering additional anesthesia for longer dental procedures to ensure optimal patient comfort. Woo and colleagues state that anesthesia “reinjection could be a clinical strategy to ensure adequate anesthesia in the maxilla for procedures lasting 60 minutes or longer.”

The Cronin Foundation grant includes funds to hire a part-time robotics coordinator to oversee the nonprofit’s seven robotics teams (grades K-3, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12), and to train and provide on-demand support for Marshall teachers.
“We’ve established an expertise in running robotics programs,” said Caroline Hurteau, executive director of Innovate Albion. “Our success at FIRST Championship boosted our program’s popularity.”
Innovate Albion’s work in Marshall schools includes developing STEM curricula for elementary school teachers through funding from the Guido A. and Elizabeth H. Binda Foundation and the Manufacturing Education Fund from the Albion Community Foundation. Earlier this year, Innovate Albion received the Friend of the Youth Award from the Marshall Teacher’s Association for its work in the school district.
“We’re honored by the community’s growing support of our efforts to boost STEM and STEAM education,” Hurteau said. “That’s part of our mission, and to see it embraced by local schools and foundations proves we’re not alone in our efforts.”
Since its launch in 2019, Innovate Albion has become a hub for students interested in coding and robotics. Located in a refurbished three-story, 100-year-old masonic temple, the tech education center features a machine shop, classrooms and a regulation-size high school robotics field.

With Tango Extend, Teams Phone is available very cost-effectively to the deskless workforce, such as frontline, hybrid and gig workers. Frontline employees and employees on-the-go typically do not have company mobile phones or good quality voice access to their corporate communications platforms.
But in a recent survey of 403 IT managers commissioned by Tango Networks, 76% said they allow frontline workers to use personal mobile phones for business. Extend enables these workers to stay connected with office colleagues and customers with the device they already have, which improves user satisfaction, productivity and engagement right across the business. Extend is based on Tango Networks’ fixed-mobile convergence technology and uses universal eSIM technology to enable provisioning of remote users in minutes with a simple QR code.
“Microsoft Teams has millions of users. Now thanks to Extend, companies deploying Teams can turn any user’s mobile phone into a full-featured extension of Teams, including personal BYOD phones. It’s a new approach to deliver voice services,” said Doug Bartek, President & CEO of Tango Networks. “We’re proud to receive the ‘Unified Communications Solution Of The Year’ award for Extend. As a company, we’re also proud to be able to develop this groundbreaking technology for a workforce that, over the years, hasn’t traditionally had access to significant UC innovations and collaboration.”
The mission of the annual Mobile Breakthrough Awards is to honor excellence and recognize the innovation, hard work and success in a range of mobile and wireless technology categories, including Cloud Computing, Mobile Management, Wireless and Broadband, Mobile Analytics, IoT and Smart City and many more. This year’s program included thousands of nominations from over 15 different countries throughout the world.
“Extend for Teams is a breakthrough in mobilizing unified communications for business users as it literally extends best-in-class business communications to billions of potential users for the first time,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, Mobile Breakthrough. “Traditional methods of mobilizing corporate fixed lines for business communications have relied on poorly performing downloadable voice apps. These apps are often inconvenient to use and offer poor-quality. Extend is a game-changer in mobile unified communications, enabling mobile phones to become another endpoint. The result is helping millions of workers communicate in retail, delivery, services, education, finance – and virtually any other industry.”
Typically, a Tango eSIM is provisioned as a Teams line in each user’s personal mobile phone, sharing the existing business number. By using a QR code, installation is quick and can be done while logged in to the Teams desktop client. The eSIM is connected to the Teams user’s account and Teams phone number. The new eSIM behaves just like an office phone or laptop client endpoint. In addition, the phone’s original personal SIM retains the personal identity and number of the user, and communications remain private and secure at all times.
