Article Synopsis
  • A systematic review was conducted to see if acid etching would improve the bond strength of universal adhesives (UAs) on caries-affected dentin, both before and after aging.
  • Researchers analyzed 26 studies focusing mainly on mild UAs, finding that acid etching had no significant effect on their bond strength (p > 0.05).
  • The study concluded that aging significantly weakened the bond strength of mild UAs to caries-affected dentin, with bond strength being notably lower compared to sound dentin (p < 0.05).

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether urinary glycosaminoglycans (GAG) levels reflect clinical status in men with lower urinary tract symptoms and if they could be used as a marker in management of overactive bladder (OAB).

Methods: A total of 34 patients were recruited who were admitted with LUTS and diagnosed as having clinically bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) due to prostate enlargement. These newly diagnosed, never treated patients underwent routine investigation, consisting of history, physical examination, PSA, ultrasound, uroflowmetry, assessment of symptoms scored by both International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Marmara- Overactive Bladder Questionnaire (M-OBQ).
