The science of printing and polishing 3D-printed dentures.

Objective: To analyze the effectiveness of various techniques available for printing, finishing and polishing of 3D printed prosthesis.

Methods: The articles were selected from electronic databases including PubMed and Scopus. Recently, lot of advancements have been observed in the field of 3D printing in dentistry.

Exploring Denosumab in the Treatment of Giant Cell Tumors: Clinical Evidence and Controversies.

Giant cell tumors (GCTs) are benign but locally aggressive bone neoplasms that primarily affect skeletally mature individuals. They are characterized by a tendency for recurrence and being associated with significant morbidity. Traditional treatment has focused on surgical resection; however, the role of medical therapies, such as Denosumab, a bone anti-resorptive drug, which has been Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for unresectable GCTs since 2013, recently has gained prominence.

Exploring the effects of probiotics on olanzapine-induced metabolic syndrome through the gut microbiota.

Background: Maintaining gut microbial homeostasis is crucial for human health, as imbalances in the gut microbiota (GM) can lead to various diseases, including metabolic syndrome (MS), exacerbated by the use of antipsychotic medications such as olanzapine (OLZ). Understanding the role of the GM in OLZ-induced MS could lead to new therapeutic strategies. This study used metagenomic analysis to explore the impact of OLZ on the GM composition and examined how probiotics can mitigate its adverse effects in a rat model.

Features of effective hospital fall prevention trials: an intervention component analysis.

Background: Falls in hospitals continue to burden patients, staff, and health systems. Prevention approaches are varied, as well as their success at preventing falls. Intervention component analysis (ICA) is useful in indicating important features associated with successful interventions in sets of trial with high heterogeneity.

A comparative evaluation of retention of record bases fabricated digitally in various types of posterior palatal seal area.

Objectives: Intraoral scanners used for the fabrication of milled and 3D-printed complete dentures simplify the procedure. However, its effectiveness in recording the functional peripheral seal area needs to be researched. Therefore, this study aims to assess the retention of conventional, milled and 3D-printed denture bases made from conventional impression technique and digital scans in different types of post palatal seal area.
