Anterior and Posterior Ocular Changes in Patients with Active and Inactive Ankylosing Spondylitis.

BACKGROUND The 6-item Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) is a method for evaluating disease activity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). This study included 78 patients with active and inactive AS and aimed to evaluate anterior and posterior segment ocular changes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy-eight patients and 70 control subjects were enrolled in this study.

Evaluation of Wear on Primary Tooth Enamel and Fracture Resistance of Esthetic Pediatric Crowns Manufactured from Different Materials.

Advances in dental materials and CAD-CAM technology have expanded crown options in primary teeth due to their improved appearance and mechanical properties. Thus, this study aimed to assess the enamel wear and fracture resistance of prefabricated, milled, and 3D-printed esthetic pediatric crowns. The study involved 60 extracted maxillary second primary molars and 60 3D-printed resin dies, divided into six groups based on different crown materials (n = 10): prefabricated zirconia, prefabricated composite, milled composite, milled resin matrix ceramic, milled PEEK, and 3D-printed resin.

The effect of education provided with the escape room game on nursing students' learning of parenteral drug administration.

Aim: The present study was conducted to determine the effect of education provided to first-year nursing students with the escape room game on their learning of parenteral drug administration.

Background: The use of escape room games in education supports formal education in providing students with professional knowledge and skills.

Design: A randomized controlled study design was used in this study.

A severely damaged premolar tooth restored with coronal pulpotomy and a 3D-printed endocrown.

Advances in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies and adhesives have enabled the use of endocrowns as an effective and conservative treatment option for restoring endodontically treated teeth in pediatric populations. Thus, this case report presents the treatment of a severely damaged premolar tooth with coronal pulpotomy and a 3D-printed endocrown restoration. A 13-year-old patient with pain due to profound caries in the left maxillary second premolar tooth was referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Gazi University in Ankara, Türkiye.
