Background: Immature maxillary central teeth can be managed by using several treatment options. The aim of this finite element stress analysis study was to evaluate the effect of different treatment procedures on the stresses on immature maxillary incisor teeth models that generated on cone beam computed tomography, by trauma and bite forces.
Methods: A total of 11 different models consisting of revascularization treatment using MTA and biodentine and the state of the root apex formed with cement after treatment, apexification, modified apexification, traditional root canal treatment and two different control groups have been created.
Purpose: Photoaging is characterised by cutaneous changes caused by exposure to ultraviolet light over time. Quercetin is a bioflavanoid with antioxidant, antineoplastic, and anti-inflammatory effects. This study investigated the therapeutic effects of topical quercetin on photoaging, a phenomenon not previously studied in ultraviolet A (UVA)-induced photoaging.

This study aimed to elucidate the possible relationship between BAV and TGF-β1 gene expression levels. Forty-eight pediatric patients diagnosed with isolated BAV and 50 healthy children with innocent heart murmurs were included in the study.

It was aimed to determine the acute effect of MFR technique on pain and flexibility in CLBP.
Methods: Forty CLBP patients (19 female; 21 male) with an average age of 40 years were randomized as MFR technique and classical massage groups.
Article Synopsis
- Fanconi anemia (FA) is a genetic disorder that leads to bone marrow failure, causing low blood cell counts and increased cancer risk, along with various physical abnormalities.
- A study identified a specific genetic mutation, a large deletion in the FANCA gene, as a common cause among eight individuals from six unrelated Turkish families, highlighting the importance of genetic research in understanding the disease.
- The researchers developed a simple PCR test for this mutation, facilitating accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families, especially in the Turkish population.
