Effect of Thermocycling on Color Stability, Fracture Resistance, and Shear Bond Strength of CAD-on Restorations (Lithium Disilicate and Polymer-Infiltrated Ceramic Network) Fabricated on Zirconia Copings

Abstract The goal of the current in vitro investigation was to assess how artificial aging via thermocycling affected color stability, fracture resistance, and shear bond strength of CAD-on restorations made on zirconia copings veneered with polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (P...

Clove oil nanoemulsion as a delivery system for Acmella oleracea mediated silver nanoparticles to curtail growth and biofilm in bacterial pathogens causing dental caries

Abstract Dental issues are a global concern affecting individuals of all ages. Oral microorganisms, including Streptococcus mutans and Enterococcus faecalis , contribute to gum inflammation and tooth detachment by forming biofilms that demineralize enamel and promote denture biof...

Cardioprotective Effects of Aloe vera-Derived Bioactive Compounds in Myocardial Infarction: A Preclinical Review of Mechanisms and Dosages

Myocardial infarction (MI) is characterized by sudden cardiomyocyte death due to impaired blood supply and remains a leading cause of mortality despite advances in management. Aloe vera, a plant rich in over 75 bioactive compounds, including vitamins, minerals, polysaccharides, a...

Metacognitive team-based learning for creative problem-solving in Indian medical undergraduates: a single-arm pre-post quasi-experimental mixed-methods study

Abstract Background Metacognitive and team-based strategies can strengthen problem-solving; however, many Indian medical undergraduates remain reliant on rote memorisation with limited exposure to structured, creativity-focused pedagogy. Structured interventions combining metacog...

Early Outcomes and Complications of Skin Graft Reconstruction for Complex Wounds at a Tertiary Hospital: A Single-Centre Study in Oman

Background: Complex wounds present significant reconstructive challenges owing to impaired healing, infections, and tissue loss. Skin grafting remains a widely used reconstructive technique; however, outcome data from the Gulf region are limited to a few studies. This study aimed...
