Background: Recently, recommendations were given for a new scoring of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). The original seven domain structure should be replaced by a four-dimensional scale.
Objectives: To investigate the effect of dental prosthetic treatment on the seven domains and the four-dimensional scale of the OHIP-G49/53 questionnaire.
The aim of this study was to translate the Liverpool Oral Rehabilitation Questionnaire version 3 (LORQv3) into German and validate this version in order to assess oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among head and neck cancer patients. This study was conducted at a German university clinic among patients who had completed therapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). The original English-language LORQv3 was translated into German according to the forward-backward approach.

Materials And Methods: A total of 151 patients participated in this prospective bicenter clinical study (mean age: 64.7 ± 10.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture resistance, flexural strength and Weibull modulus of an innovative CAD/CAM polymer and to compare its fracture resistance with that of glass ceramics.
Materials And Methods: A total of 32 (n = 16 IPS e.max CAD (LIDI); n = 16 LuxaCam Composite (LUXA)) first mandibular molar crowns were fabricated and cemented onto metal dies by use of luting composite.

Article Synopsis
- Spanins are essential phage lysis proteins that facilitate the breakdown of the outer membrane in Gram-negative bacteria, existing as either two-component spanins (like Rz-Rz1) or unimolecular spanins (like gp11), each with distinct structural features and functions.* -
- The study introduces the SpaninDataBase, which catalogs 528 two-component spanins and 58 unimolecular spanins, revealing significant differences in their secondary structures and highlighting the vast diversity among spanin families through genetic analysis.* -
- Findings suggest that, despite their structural differences, both types of spanins share a common mechanism that involves the fusion of the outer and inner membranes to release viral progeny, while also showing evolutionary insights
