The increasing use of zirconia in dental restorations necessitates a comprehensive understanding of effective bonding techniques to ensure long-term clinical success. Zirconia's unique chemical composition presents challenges in achieving a durable bond as it lacks the glass phase necessary for traditional etching and silanization processes. This review evaluates current methods and emerging innovations for enhancing zirconia bond strength to resin cements.

The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to collect and critically appraise the available evidence about the effectiveness of interventions designed to improve the mental health of faculty.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted by searching PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Web of Science, and CINAHL to identify relevant studies published in English language from January 1st, 2000 until October 1st, 2023.
During the 3 years following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the African continent, like other regions of the world, was substantially impacted by COVID-19. In Morocco, the COVID-19 pandemic has been marked by the emergence and spread of several SARS-CoV-2 variants, leading to a substantial increase in the incidence of infections and deaths. Nevertheless, the comprehensive understanding of the genetic diversity, evolution, and epidemiology of several viral lineages remained limited in Morocco.

- The primary cause of congenital hearing loss is mostly genetic, with the GJB2 gene being crucial across different ethnicities.
- A study involving Sanger sequencing analyzed GJB2 in 17 deaf children from 13 families in Ivory Coast, discovering pathogenic variants in one family with two deaf children.
- The identified variants included a known nonsense substitution and a new 7-base pair duplication, marking the first report of GJB2 involvement in congenital hearing loss within an Ivorian family.
Objectives: With Artificial Intelligence (AI) profoundly affecting education, ensuring that students in health disciplines are ready to embrace AI is essential for their future workforce integration. This study aims to explore dental students' readiness to use AI, perceptions about AI in health education and healthcare, and their AI-related educational needs.
Material And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among dental students at the College of Dental Medicine, Qatar University.
