Hybrid Ceramics Cementation Protocols: Scope Review.

Background: Compared to high modulus repair materials such as zirconia and alumina, hybrid polymer-ceramic materials have lower stress concentrations in the tooth structure and bonding interface. The aim of this study is to evaluate viable cementation protocols through an integrative review and meta-analysis.

Material And Methods: This systematic review was based on the PRISMA criteria.

Intra- and interspecific density-dependent effects on growth in helminth parasites of the cormorant, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis.

The action of intra- and interspecific competition, mediated by density-dependent effects on growth, was investigated among the 3 helminth species found in the alimentary tract of 104 cormorants, Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis. Intraspecific density-dependent effects on worm sizes were observed in the abundant nematode Contracaecum rudolphii, as shown by a negative correlation between mean worm size and intensity of infection. Higher intensities of infection by C.
