Two-Year Clinical Evaluation of Enamel Wear Antagonistic to Polished and Glazed Monolithic Zirconia Endocrowns.

Objective: To assess the effect of chairside adjustment and polishing on the clinical performance of zirconia endocrowns and digitally calculate the opposing enamel wear.

Materials And Methods: A total of 20 participants received zirconia endocrowns on their endodontically treated lower first molars. All endocrowns were fabricated using CAD/CAM technology.

Impact of previously failed extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy on ureterorenoscopy outcomes in upper urinary tract stones: a prospective comparative study.

Objective: We sought to prospectively evaluate the impact of previously failed SWL on subsequent URS outcomes in the treatment of upper urinary tract stones.

Materials And Methods: Between May 2021 and May 2023, one hundred thirty-six patients with proximal ureteral stones < 1.5 cm and renal stones < 2.

Evaluation of plant-derived biomaterials for the development of tissue-engineered corneal substitutes.

Corneal blindness affects over 10 million patients worldwide. Due to the limited supply of donor corneas and frequent graft failure, bioengineered alternatives are crucial. To overcome drawbacks associated with corneal substitutes from synthetic biomaterials, fabrication from plant-derived biomaterials is a potential alternative.

Furosemide drug as a corrosion inhibitor for carbon steel in 1.0 M hydrochloric acid.

Furosemide (4-chloro-2-furan-2-ylmethylamino-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid) was examined as an inhibitor for the corrosion of carbon steel (CS) in 1.0 M HCl. The investigation included mass loss (ML) and electrochemical techniques: potentiodynamic polarization (PP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and electrochemical frequency modulation (EFM).
