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.

A randomized clinical trial on zirconia versus titanium implants in maxillary single tooth replacement.

Objectives: This RCT aimed to compare zirconia and titanium dental implants in the maxillary premolar region. The comparison was based on marginal bone level (MBL) changes, clinical parameters, aesthetic outcomes, and patient related outcome measures (PROMs) 1 year after prosthetic loading.

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients were randomly assigned to receive either a zirconia (ZrO, n = 25) implant or a titanium (Ti, n = 25) bone-level implant.

Pharmacist Metrics in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit: an Exploration of the Medication Regimen Complexity-Intensive Care Unit (MRC-ICU) Score.

Introduction: The medication regimen complexity-intensive care unit (MRC-ICU) score has been developed and validated as an objective predictive metric for patient outcomes and pharmacist workload in the adult critically ill population. The purpose of this study was to explore the MRC-ICU and other workload metrics in the pediatric ICU (PICU).

Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort of pediatric ICU patients admitted to a single institution -between February 2, 2022 - August 2, 2022.

Integrating organizational climate theory: A domain-independent explanation for climate formation and function.

Organizational climate is arguably the most studied representation of the social context of organizations, having been examined as an antecedent, outcome, or boundary condition in virtually every domain of inquiry in the organizational sciences. Yet there is no commonly recognized, domain-independent theory that is used to explain why and how climates both form and affect behavior. Rather, there is a set of climate theories (and literatures) housed across a variety of divergent content domains.

Between-hospital variation in clinical decision support availability for common inpatient pediatric conditions: Results of a national Pediatric Research in Inpatient Settings (PRĪS) Network survey.

Implementing pediatric-focused clinical decision support (CDS) into hospital electronic health records can lead to improvements in patient care and accelerate quality improvement and research initiatives. However, its design, development, and implementation can be a time-consuming and costly endeavor that may not be feasible for all hospital settings. In this cross-sectional study, we surveyed Pediatric Research in Inpatient Settings (PRĪS) Network hospitals about the availability of CDS tools to gain an understanding of the functionality available across 8 common inpatient pediatric diagnoses.
