The study investigated the effect of two disinfecting solutions on one brand of alginate impression material and dental stone. Control impressions were immersed in water for equivalent periods and the effect of storage of impressions after disinfection or control immersion in water was also investigated. There were no significant dimensional changes in impressions poured after one hour. All impressions stored for 16 hours before pouring showed significant dimensional changes. Mixing dental stone with one disinfectant caused a significant softening of the cast. It is strongly recommended that all impressions are thoroughly rinsed with water after disinfection to prevent incorporation of disinfectant in the cast.

Purpose: The landiolol and organ failure in patients with septic shock (STRESS-L study) included a pre-planned sub-study to assess the effect of landiolol treatment on inflammatory and metabolomic markers.
Methods: Samples collected from 91 patients randomised to STRESS-L were profiled for immune and metabolomic markers. A panel of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were measured through commercially acquired multiplex Luminex assays and statistically analysed by individual and cluster-level analysis (patient).

The genus Streptococcus is highly diverse and a core member of the primate oral microbiome. Streptococcus species are grouped into at least eight phylogenetically-supported clades, five of which are found almost exclusively in the oral cavity. We explored the dominant Streptococcus phylogenetic clades in samples from multiple oral sites and from ancient and modern-day humans and non-human primates and found that clade dominance is conserved across human oral sites, with most Streptococcus reads assigned to species falling in the Sanguinis or Mitis clades.

Statement Of Problem: Intraoral scans can be articulated in maximum intercuspal position (MIP) by using an artificial intelligence (AI) based program; however, the impact of edentulous areas on the accuracy of the MIP located using this AI-based program is unknown.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the impact of edentulous areas (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 posterior mandibular teeth) on the accuracy of the MIP located using 3 intraoral scanners (IOSs) and an AI-based program.
Material And Methods: Stone casts articulated in MIP in an articulator were digitized (T710).

Background: Dentin hypersensitivity affects a significant portion of the world's population, causing pain and negatively impacting oral health and quality of life This clinical study investigated the effectiveness of a desensitizing fluoride silicon-rich dental gel associated with a calcium booster.
Material And Methods: In this single-blind, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial, forty-eight volunteers diagnosed with dentin hypersensitivity and qualified to participate were randomized into 2 groups: (1) fluoride silicon-rich dental gel (REFX Technology)/calcium booster (Si/Ca protocol); (2) Pumice stone diluted in saline. A draw was carried out between the right and left sides of the patients so that either a prophylaxis with the dental gel associated with calcium or with fine pumice stone diluted in saline was carried out.

Objectives: Pulp stones are ectopic calcifications located in pulp tissue. The aim of this study is to introduce a novel method for detecting pulp stones on panoramic radiography images using a deep learning-based two-stage pipeline architecture.
Materials And Methods: The first stage involved tooth localization with the YOLOv8 model, followed by pulp stone classification using ResNeXt.
