Fluid intake and recurrence and progression risk of patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Objectives: To evaluate the association of pre- and post-diagnosis fluid intake with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) recurrence and progression risk.

Patients And Methods: Data were used from the multicentre prospective cohort study UroLife. Participants reported pre-diagnosis fluid intake at 6 weeks (food frequency questionnaire [FFQ]) (n = 1322) and post-diagnosis fluid intake at 3 and 15 months (FFQ and 4-day 24-h fluid diaries) (n = 1275) after diagnosis.

One-Piece Monolithic Zirconia Single Tooth Implant-Supported Restorations in the Posterior Region: A 1-Year Prospective Case Series Study.

Objective: To assess the clinical, radiographic and patient-reported outcome measures, and the success of screw-retained one-piece monolithic zirconia implant-supported restorations in the posterior region during a 1-year follow-up.

Methods: In a prospective case series, 50 single molar sites in the posterior region of 41 patients with a minimum age of 18 years and sufficient bone volume for placing an implant (≥ 8 mm) and space for an anatomical restoration were included. Following prosthetic-driven digital three-dimensional treatment planning, a tissue-level implant with an internal connection was inserted during a one-stage surgical procedure.

Metal-Free Custom-Made Zirconia Implants-A Prospective 5-Year Follow-Up Single-Arm Clinical Trial.

Background: Dental implants made of zirconia (ZrO) are a potential alternative for titanium implants in dentistry because of their good biocompatibility, mechanical properties and excellent aesthetic results. However, solid long-term scientific data to prove clinical success of ZrO implants are scarce.

Aim: The aim of this study was to describe and to examine the clinical performance of custom-made two-piece ZrO implants, to identify possible influencing factors: a) manipulation of the implant after placement and b) the occlusal scheme on the survival rate, and to evaluate the performance of the implant-supported crown.

Outcomes of implants placed in sites of previously failed implants: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The survival rate of implants placed at sites of previous failures including the best treatment strategies remain unclear. This systematic review was performed to assess implant survival and peri-implant health for such cases, including subgroup analyses of immediate versus delayed implant placement and augmentation. Four electronic databases were searched.
