Article Synopsis
- A review of cadaver studies was conducted to evaluate the decrease in compressive strength after surgery, adhering to PRISMA guidelines while utilizing databases like PubMed and Google Scholar.* -
- Out of the five studies involving 49 cadavers, one study found a statistically significant decrease in force leading to fracture (FLF) in decancellated tibias compared to the healthy ones, with a mean FLF of 3766.9 N versus 5126.4 N.* -
- Although most FLF values in the studies were significantly above the body weight threshold for safety, some cadavers recorded FLF below this threshold, suggesting that while weight-bearing after the procedure seems statistically acceptable, clinical safety cannot be universally
Purpose: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) between dentists and physical therapists (PT) could improve access to patient treatment and oral care outcomes. This study aimed to assess dentists' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of IPC with PT.
Methods: The study design included a 16-question online survey sent to dentists (n = 102) at a university in fall 2022 via SurveyMonkey.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of cleaning solutions on surface properties of 3D-printed resins.
Materials And Methods: Seven different resin materials for denture base and teeth were used in the form of 280 half-disks. Samples were randomly assigned to two cleaning groups (FD, FreshDent; PO, Polydent), with daily 2- or 3-min immersion followed by water storage, repeated for 30 days.
Introduction: To evaluate different factors affecting two different cohorts of dental students' perceptions with the flipped classroom (FC) model in a preclinical dental course over six years.
Materials And Methods: In 2016 (cohort #1) and 2022 (cohort #2), second-year dental students participated in FC model in a preclinical dental course consisting of pre-class recorded videos and lectures along with classroom interactive exercises. Students then completed an anonymous pen-and-paper survey evaluating three factors influencing students' overall study experience with the FC model.
Oocytes of both vertebrates and invertebrates often contain an intricate organelle assemblage, termed the Balbiani body (Bb). It has previously been suggested that this assemblage is involved in the delivery of organelles and macromolecules to the germ plasm, formation of oocyte reserve materials, and transfer of mitochondria to the next generation. To gain further insight into the function of the Bb, we performed a series of analyses and experiments, including computer-aided 3-dimensional reconstructions, detection of DNA (mtDNA) synthesis as well as immunolocalization studies.
