Repair bond strength of resin composite to CAD/CAM glass-ceramic: Influence of cleaning methods, surface treatments, and aging.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of different cleaning methods, surface treatments, and aging on the repair bond strength to a CAD/CAM glass-ceramic.

Materials And Methods: Forty-eight lithium disilicate CAD/CAM ceramic blocks were fabricated, sintered, and embedded in acrylic resin. After contamination with human saliva, they were divided according to the factors "Cleaning method" (Control-water/air spray, Air-particle abrasion with AlO, Ivoclean cleaning paste), "Surface treatment" (5 % Hydrofluoric acid-HF + Silane, Monobond Etch & Prime-MEP), and "Aging" (thermocycling, no thermocycling).

Electronic health record implementation: how to identify and analyze the possible negative impacts.

Objective: Identify potential negative impacts arising from implementing an electronic medical record system, classify them according to the level of criticality, and analyze method's effectiveness after implementation.

Methods: The research involved identifying the negative impacts, classifying them according to the criteria for criticality, stratifying them as high, medium, or low severity, and finally, analyzing the effectiveness of the identification and classification methods.

Results: Findings confirmed that 89.

Rescue and Translocation of Hispaniola Hutia () in Pueblo Viejo, Cotuí Mining Concession Area.

Translocation of species is a common practice used in endangered species management and conservation plans, which can have the purpose of establishing new populations which are at risk of being wiped out, increase a species chance of survival or recovery, and to preserve genetic diversity. The present study details the rescue and relocation process of Hispaniola Hutia () in the municipality of Cotuí, Dominican Republic. Data are presented for eight individuals, belonging to two different families, detailing capture methods, handling, reintroduction method, and behavior, as well as data on post-release monitoring for both families.

Osteoblast Growth in Quaternized Silicon Carbon Nitride Coatings for Dental Implants.

The demand for dental implants has increased, establishing them as the standard of care for replacing missing teeth. Several factors contribute to the success or failure of an implant post-placement. Modifications to implant surfaces can enhance the biological interactions between bone cells and the implant, promoting better outcomes.
