Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the accuracy of new wireless intraoral scanners (IOSs) with traditional wired IOSs in different scenarios related to fixed partial dentures (FPDs).
- Models of partially edentulous maxillae were scanned using both types of scanners and results were analyzed against reference scans to measure trueness and precision.
- Findings revealed that while the wireless IOSs showed good accuracy, wired IOSs outperformed in certain metrics, particularly in angular and interimplant distance measurements, with higher inaccuracies noted in posterior FPDs.
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are at the top of the pyramid of evidence as they offer the best answer on the efficacy of a new treatment. RCTs are true experiments in which participants are randomly allocated to receive a certain intervention (experimental group) or a different intervention (comparison group), or no treatment at all (control or placebo group). Randomization, along with other methodological features such as blinding and allocation concealment, safeguard against biases.

Material And Methods: A mandibular right first molar typodont was prepared and digitized using an intraoral scanner to virtually design an onlay restoration with the minimum occlusal thickness of 1.5 mm.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the outcomes of children who underwent Cohen ureteroneocystostomy (UNC) for vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) over a long-term follow-up period.
- A retrospective review of 241 patients revealed that 28.6% experienced lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) in adulthood, with various factors such as being female and having a history of bladder-bowel dysfunction influencing this outcome.
- Despite effective management of VUR, a small percentage of patients still faced complications like febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs) and hypertension, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and care even after surgical intervention.
