Accuracy, Reproducibility, and Gaps in Different Angulations of 3D-Printed versus Milled Hybrid Ceramic Crown.

Objectives:  This article compared the accuracy, reproducibility, and gap of crowns resulting from variations in print angulation of three-dimensional (3D)-printed VarseoSmile Crown (VS) and milled resin-ceramic hybrid materials (Cerasmart 270, CS, and Enamic, E).

Materials And Methods:  A total of 60 specimens, consisting of VS printed at four different angulations (30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees), along with CS and E were investigated. External and internal accuracy and reproducibility were measured with the 3D deviation analysis.

The effect of powder to liquid ratio on physical properties and fluoride release of glass ionomer cements containing pre-reacted spherical glass fillers.

The aim was to assess the effect of powder to liquid ratio (PLR) on setting time, fluoride release, and compressive strength of conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) containing pre-reacted spherical glass fillers (SPG). GICs were prepared by mixing SPG with Fuji IX Universal liquid using PLR of 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.

In vitro activity of Caspofungin combined with Fluconazole on mixed Candida albicans and Candida glabrata biofilm.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal effect of caspofungin (CAS) combined with fluconazole (FLU) on the biofilm biomass and cultivable viability and microstructure of Candida albicans and Candida glabrata mixed biofilm in vitro.Biofilms were formed in a 96-well microtiter plate for crystal violet assay and colony forming unit (CFU) method and grown on plastic coverslip disks for scanning electron microscopy. MIC50 of CAS and FLU against single Candida spp.
