Short- and long-term results of liver transplantation according to age at transplant: a single-center experience of 351 children.

Pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) has very good results at experienced transplant centers. However, there is still an ongoing discussion about inferior outcomes, especially in young infants. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate outcomes of infants compared to older recipients in a single center over 20 years.

Vestibuloplasty with Retroauricular Skin Grafts for Dental Implant Rehabilitation in Vascularized Fibula Grafts: Two Case Reports.

The aim of this study was to present the use of retroauricular full-thickness skin grafts in vestibuloplasty surgeries for dental implant rehabilitation in vascularized fibula grafts. Two patients underwent mandibular reconstruction with vascularized fibula grafts due to mandibular gunshot injuries. Inadequate sulcus gaps secondary to mandibular soft tissue deficiencies were managed by full-thickness autologous skin grafts harvested from the retroauricular region.

Influence of core thickness and artificial aging on the biaxial flexural strength of different all-ceramic materials: An in-vitro study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the flexural strength of all-ceramics with varying core thicknesses submitted to aging. In-Ceram Alumina (IC), IPS e.max Press (EM) and Katana (K) (n=40), were selected.

A Nanocomposite Shield Constructed for Protection Against the Harmful Effects of Dental X-Rays.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare a number of new nano-composites capable of protecting the jaw from ionizing radiation.

Materials And Methods: Four different types of nano-powders [Ti, Zr (IV) oxide, Ag and Co] were mixed in a polymer matrix to create nano-composites with doping values of 8% in weight. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis was performed using a HECUSSAXS system with 50 kV- 50 mA.
