Insufficient Evidence to Ascertain the Long-Term Survival of PEEK Dental Prostheses: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies.

Introduction: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a polymer that is used in the construction of orthopaedic and dental implants. It is also used to construct removable and fixed dental prostheses due to its superior mechanical and esthetic properties compared to conventional materials. This systematic review aims to analyse and appraise the literature concerning PEEK dental prostheses critically.

Effect of Attachment Type, Maximum Occlusal Force, and Denture Deformation on Marginal Bone Loss of Two-Implant Overdentures: A Short-Term Clinical Trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of attachment type, maximum occlusal force, denture deformation, and other confounding factors on marginal bone loss of two-implant overdentures after 1 year.

Materials And Methods: Ninety edentulous patients received two implants in canine areas of the mandible using the computer-guided flapless surgical technique. Three months later, overdentures were connected to the implants with bar, resilient telescopic, and resilient stud attachments.

Correlating cognitive functions to symptom domains and insight in Egyptian patients with schizophrenia.

Introduction: Cognitive impairment is one of the fundamental features among patients with schizophrenia. The relationship between schizophrenia symptoms, insight and cognitive domains remains controversial. We aimed to study these relations in a sample of Egyptian patients with schizophrenia.

Risk factors influencing severity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in a sample of preparatory school students in Cairo.

Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood psychiatric disorders. Severity of symptoms is associated with more behavioral problems, poor academic performance, and persistence of symptoms into adulthood.

Methods: To examine the clinical and social correlates that may be identified as risk factors associated with ADHD severity in a sample of adolescent ADHD school students.

Comparing cognitive functions in medication adherent and non-adherent patients with schizophrenia.

Background: Medication non-adherence presents a considerable problem in patients with schizophrenia. Cognitive and executive functions can affect adherence. The association between medication non-adherence and cognitive impairment in schizophrenia is under investigated with limited and conflicting research data.
