Article Synopsis
- Factors driving freshwater salinization syndrome (FSS) include inputs of salt ions, erosion rates, hydrologic cycles, rising water temperatures, and ecosystem recovery potential.
- These factors operate in distinct stages that lead to failures in critical ecosystem functions, such as providing clean drinking water, supporting agriculture, and maintaining biodiversity.
- Future research should focus on diagnosing, predicting, and addressing FSS using the identified state factors and their stages.
Following a preliminary study indicating that at least 10 percent of single-unit crown temporary restorations failed in patients who received treatment by predoctoral students, a comprehensive examination of provisional crown failure was initiated to identify strategies to reduce the failure rate. For all provisionalized, natural tooth, single-unit crown preparations in University of North Carolina School of Dentistry predoctoral clinics for one year (N=1008), we noted tooth type, type of crown, student level, faculty coverage experience, treatment clinic, temporary material and luting agent, and retreatment (failure) of the provisional restoration. For failures, we also noted the stage of crown preparation at failure and the time since initial placement of the temporary.
