Purpose: To evaluate and compare: (1) the effect of the bacterial biofilm on the dentin mineral density at the restoration-tooth interface and (2) the mineralization potential of three resin-based restorative materials (RBRM).
Methods: 16 extracted human molars free of caries and cracks were collected and stored for disinfection. Each tooth received two standardized Class II preparations with the cervical margin placed in dentin.
Article Synopsis
- - This study aimed to find the best time for labor induction in normotensive singleton pregnancies to reduce risks like stillbirth, analyzing 70,293 births in Iceland from 1997 to 2018 while excluding high-risk cases.
- - Results showed that inducing labor at or after 40 weeks decreased cesarean rates without increasing adverse outcomes, while earlier inductions did not show significant benefits.
- - The conclusion emphasized that inducing labor post-40 weeks is safer for women without heightening risks for mothers or babies, and earlier induction in low-risk pregnancies isn’t beneficial.
Background: Given its complexity, childbirth can elicit both positive and negative psychological reactions and, in some cases, women may experience symptoms of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD). Several risk factors for CB-PTSD have been identified previously, including history of mental health issues and childbirth related complications. The aim of our study was to explore the role of satisfaction with care in CB-PTSD symptoms.

Methods: Between April 2020 and March 2021, routine blood appointments at our HIV clinic were replaced by virtual consultations in 'stable' people living with HIV (PLWH), defined using standard operating procedure (SOP) criteria.
