Article Synopsis
- Endocrowns are a restoration option for teeth that have undergone root canal treatment, and this study explores their use in teeth treated with full pulpotomy, a specific type of partial tooth removal.
- The research involved testing 110 extracted molars and 110 resin simulators to compare their mechanical strength under various treatment protocols and preparation designs.
- Findings revealed that strength resistance was significantly lower in resin simulators compared to natural teeth, indicating that resin models are not effective for in vitro strength assessments, and strength may not be the key factor in selecting materials or methods for endocrown restorations.
The control of the COVID-19 epidemics has been one global health priorities for the last 2 years. To that end, more reliable and easy-to-use, regardless of age, diagnostic tests are necessary. Considering that, we evaluated an innovative two-step self-test, the AAZ COVID-VIRO ALL IN®, switching from the classic nasal swab to a nasal sponge.

The nasopharyngeal sampling method being often uncomfortable, nasal sampling could prove to be a viable alternative to the reference sampling method. We performed a multicentre, prospective validation study of the COVID-VIRO® test, using a nasal swab sampling method, in a point-of-care setting.

First-generation immigrant African women attending the Centre Hospitalier Régional of Orléans, France, were prospectively subjected to endocervical swabs for HPV DNA PCR and Pap smear. Fifty women (mean age, 41.

We conducted a pilot study to assess the feasibility of identifying patient priorities in routine geriatrics care and to compare clinicians' recommendations for patients who did or did not have their priorities identified.
Design: Retrospective chart review.
