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...

Association between salivary alkaline phosphatase levels and periodontal disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

This updated meta-analysis evaluated salivary alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels in individuals with gingivitis and periodontitis compared to periodontally healthy individuals. The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251273461). Searches were co...

Stress Distribution Pattern in Implant-Assisted Removable Partial Denture (IARPD): A 3D Finite Element Analysis

Abstract Removable partial dentures (RPDs) held in place by clasps have become a favored option for treating patients with partial tooth loss. However, these dentures have their drawbacks, including the issue of frequent displacement, which can lead to patient dissatisfaction and...

Mesenteric Panniculitis and the Gut–Mesentery–Metabolic Axis: A Hypothesis-Generating Narrative Review

Mesenteric panniculitis (MP) is an uncommon inflammatory disorder of mesenteric adipose tissue. Its pathophysiology remains unclear. Gut dysbiosis, intestinal barrier dysfunction, metabolic endotoxemia, glycemic variability (GV), and vascular dysfunction have been implicated in i...

Radiological findings of new-onset acute myeloid leukemia presenting as acute respiratory failure: A case report

In rare cases, the onset of acute myeloid leukemia can mimic other organ disorders, creating diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in identification and management. We report the case of a patient with acute respiratory failure and a history of urothelial carcinoma. Computed tomo...

Association between toileting behaviors and overactive bladder symptoms among female university students in Lebanon and Armenia: a comparative study

Abstract Background: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent lower urinary tract symptom syndrome among young women, with potentially modifiable behavioral risk factors including toileting behaviors. This cross-sectional study investigated the association between toileting behavi...

Implant-Supported and Conventional Dentures: A Meta-Analysis in Older Adults

Statement of problem Edentulism is highly prevalent among older adults, with approximately 30% of adults aged ≥60 years affected by complete tooth loss in at least one dental arch. Conventional complete dentures (CCDs) often provide suboptimal retention and stability, negatively...

Stress Evaluation of Indirect Composite Superstructure on Different Copings in CAD-on Technique for Restoration of Titanium Dental Implants—3D Finite Element Analysis

Abstract The aim of the study is to evaluate and compare the stress distribution and total deformation of indirect composite veneered superstructures fabricated using different coping materials—zirconia, biocompatible high-performance polymer (BioHPP), and polyetherketoneketone (...
