An evaluation of antagonist enamel wear opposing full-coverage zirconia crowns versus other ceramics full-coverage crowns and natural enamel - An umbrella review.

Aim: The aim of this umbrella review was to systematically review the systematic reviews on antagonist enamel wear opposing zirconia crowns compared to other ceramics and natural enamel.

Settings And Design: This was an umbrella review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.

Materials And Methods: An electronic search of PubMed, Cochrane Central, EBSCOhost, and Google Scholar search engines for articles published from January 1, 2013, to January 1, 2023, was conducted using keywords "enamel wear," "zirconia," "feldspathic," "dental ceramics," and "Y-TZP" to identify systematic reviews on antagonist enamel wear opposing zirconia crowns compared to other ceramics and natural enamel.

Effectiveness of triennial screening with clinical breast examination: 14-years follow-up outcomes of randomized clinical trial in Trivandrum, India.

Background: This study presents the preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) initiated in January 2006 in India to evaluate the effectiveness of clinical breast examination (CBE) in reducing breast cancer mortality as compared to a no-screening control group reported significant downstaging in the intervention group. The present manuscript reports long-term follow-up outcomes.

Methods: Women 30-69 years old from 133 intervention clusters and 141 control clusters were invited to participate.

Medical Management of Oral Lichen Planus: A Systematic Review.

Introduction: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory, T-cell-mediated autoimmune oral mucosal disease with unclear aetiology. The clinical management of OLP poses considerable difficulties to the oral physician.

Aim: The aim was to assess the efficacy of any form of intervention used to medically manage OLP.

Topical use of citric acid for wound bed preparation.

Wound bed preparation is the management of a wound in order to accelerate endogenous healing or to facilitate the effectiveness of split-skin grafting. The formation of a healthy wound bed is a prerequisite to the use of advanced wound care products. Unless this is achieved, even the most sophisticated and expensive materials are unlikely to function correctly.

Experimental hydrogen kerma factors for incident neutron energies from 25 to 75 MeV.

Hydrogen kerma factors and their uncertainties are deduced on an experimental basis, starting from our previously measured differential cross sections completed with available data from the literature, in the incident neutron energy range 25 to 75 MeV. The deduced experimental kerma factors are compared with theoretical predictions. A simple to use parametrization of the hydrogen kerma factor values in the incident neutron energy range 0.
