Article Synopsis
- Composites containing copper-doped mesoporous bioactive nanospheres (Cu-MBGN) were created to help prevent secondary caries by offering antimicrobial effects and promoting remineralization through ion release.
- Seven types of composites were produced with varying concentrations (1%, 5%, and 10%) of Cu-MBGN, and their properties, such as temperature changes during curing and potential toxicity, were tested using zebrafish embryos.
- The composite with 5% Cu-MBGN displayed the best durability and cross-linking characteristics, while no harmful effects on the zebrafish embryos were observed, despite the presence of some chemical compounds.
Background: Fulfilling aesthetic norms is an imperative of modern society. Accordingly, aesthetics has found its important role in dental medicine. The aim was to study whether there is a difference in the perception of tooth shade change and anatomical variations of anterior maxillary teeth among dental students depending on the level of education, gender, and experience in assisting in a dental office.

The aim of this study was to analyze peri-implant and posterior edentulous area microstrains utilizing models of the mandible mimicking a "real" mouth situation with two (splinted with a bar or as single units) or four unsplinted Ti-Zr MDIs. The models were virtually designed from a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan of a convenient patient and printed.

Prioritizing reliable and standardized methods to monitor pathogen-specific immunity is crucial, not only during the COVID-19 pandemic but also for future outbreaks. During our study of the humoral immune response, we used a SARS-CoV-2 wild-type neutralization assay, ensuring the measurement of the immune response directed to all SARS-CoV-2 antigens in their proper conformation.

This study aimed to perform the analytical validation of the white blood cell (WBC) differential and of reliability of platelet assessment on Sysmex DI-60 (Kobe, Japan).
Methods: Validation included determination of within-run and between-run precision for WBC differential according to the CLSI EP15-A3 protocol, accuracy and method comparison with light microscopy and with the automated WBC differential from the Sysmex XN-10 hematology analyzer, reliability of platelet clump detection and platelet count estimation.
