Objectives: This study investigates longevity of glass ionomer restorations in an older adult population.
Methods: This was a retrospective study based on clinical records. Patient records for 3,665 restorations in 1,777 adults 65 or older who had received a restoration between 12th July 2016 and 20th October 2022 were extracted from the electronic dental records system of the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics.
Introduction: Older adults living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) often have poor oral health and difficulty accessing dental services. The aim was to implement a virtual dental home (VDH) program for residents in two LTCFs utilizing asynchronous teledentistry techniques and mobile dental equipment.

Background: This study aimed to assess the performance of currently available risk calculators in a cohort of patients with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) and to create an MPNST-specific prognostic model including type-specific predictors for overall survival (OS).
Methods: This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study of patients with MPNST from 11 secondary or tertiary centers in The Netherlands, Italy and the United States of America. All patients diagnosed with primary MPNST who underwent macroscopically complete surgical resection from 2000 to 2019 were included in this study.
