Milling has superior mechanical properties to other fabrication methods for PMMA denture bases: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Objectives: This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to compare different PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) complete denture base manufacturing techniques by evaluating their mechanical properties. The objective was to determine which method-compression molding, injection molding, milling, or 3D printing-offers the best performance.

Data: In vitro studies investigating mechanical properties of PMMA denture base resins.

Non-Invasive Strategies for Remineralization and Hypersensitivity Management in Molar-Incisor Hypomineralization-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Molar-incisor hypomineralization (MIH) is an enamel defect affecting molars and incisors, often leading to hypersensitivity, enamel breakdown, and increased caries risk. Non-invasive treatments, such as casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and fluoride varnish, show potential in remineralizing affected enamel and reducing sensitivity, but their efficacy is still debated. This study systematically reviews and analyzes the effectiveness of CPP-ACP and other non-invasive agents in improving remineralization and reducing hypersensitivity in MIH-affected teeth.

Maternal factors increase risk of orofacial cleft: a meta-analysis.

Orofacial clefts are among the most prevalent birth defects, with severe medical and psychosocial consequences. Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL ± P) and cleft palate only (CPO) affect on average nearly 1/700 births worldwide. The cause of most non-syndromic cases is unknown.

Prediabetes and poorly controlled type-2 diabetes as risk indicators for peri-implant diseases:A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The study answers the PECO question: "In adults with dental implants (P), do subjects suffering from type-2 diabetes or prediabetes (E) have worse peri-implant conditions (O) than subjects without type-2 diabetes and prediabetes (C)?". Prediabetes (5.7-6.

Advancing accuracy in guided implant placement: A comprehensive meta-analysis: Meta-Analysis evaluation of the accuracy of available implant placement Methods.

Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to determine the accuracy of currently available computer-assisted implant surgery (CAIS) modalities under in vitro conditions and investigate whether these novel techniques can achieve clinically acceptable accuracy.

Data: In vitro studies comparing the postoperative implant position with the preoperative plan were included. Risk of bias was assessed using the Quality Assessment Tool For In Vitro Studies (QUIN Tool) and a sensitivity analysis was conducted using funnel plots.

IRE1 Less Common Homozygous Genotype in Families With Positive History of Cancer and Individuals Born With Cleft Lip/Palate.

The aim of this study was to test if the marker rs196929 in IRE1 associated with cleft lip and palate depending on the family history for cancer. A consecutive sample of 836 individuals were recruited between April and October of 2019 (303 born with cleft lip and palate, 256 relatives mostly of the maternal side of individuals born with cleft lip and palate, and 277 unaffected unrelated individuals). Parents or guardians of the children answered a questionnaire with basic demographic information about their children and their family history of cleft lip and palate and cancer.

Talon Cusp Associates With MMP2 in a Cohort of Individuals Born With Oral Clefts.

Objective: The aim of this study was to use dental development as a tool to subphenotype oral clefts and investigate the association of with dentin-pulp complex anomalies, in order to identify dental anomalies that are a part of a "cleft syndrome."

Design: Two hundred and ninety individuals born with cleft lip and palate were evaluated and several clinical features, such as cleft completeness or incompleteness, laterality, and presence of dental anomalies were used to assess each individual's cleft status. We tested for overrepresentation of single nucleotide polymorphism rs9923304 alleles depending on individuals having certain dental anomalies.

Effect of the incorporation of BB-12 microencapsulated with sweet whey and inulin on the properties of Greek-style yogurt.

The effect of the addition of BB-12 microencapsulated by spray drying with sweet whey and inulin on the microbiological, physicochemical and texture properties of Greek-style yogurt was evaluated during 28 days of storage. The survival of this probiotic under simulated gastrointestinal conditions was assessed after this storage time. Three formulations of Greek-style yogurt were produced: Control (with free cells); SW (with microcapsules produced only with sweet whey); and SWI (with microcapsules produced with sweet whey and inulin).

Rapid detection of Van genes in rectal swabs by real time PCR in Southern Brazil.

Introduction: Laboratory-based surveillance is an important component in the control of vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE).

Methods: The study aimed to evaluate real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) (genes vanA-vanB) for VRE detection on 115 swabs from patients included in a surveillance program.

Results: Sensitivity of RT-PCR was similar to primary culture (75% and 79.

Utility of the ceftazidime-imipenem antagonism test (CIAT) to detect and confirm the presence of inducible AmpC beta-lactamases among enterobacteriaceae.

Detection of AmpC beta-lactamase production by enterobacteria has been problematic. Contrary to ESBLs, no specific guidelines are available for detection and confirmation of AmpC production by clinical relevant microorganisms. Moreover, some bacterial species may produce inducible AmpC beta-lactamases that can be easily overlooked by routine susceptibility tests.
