Purpose: To assess the influence of an additional shoulder preparation on the fracture strength of a cusp-replacing direct resin composite restoration in a premolar that previously had an amalgam MOD restoration followed by fracture of a cusp.
Materials And Methods: Two preparation designs were tested. In extracted sound premolars an MOD amalgam cavity was simulated followed by fracture of a cusp (Group A). Group B was the same as Group A but a shoulder was added along the cervical outline of the preparation. As a control group, cusp fracture was simulated but no MOD amalgam cavities were prepared. For each group, 14 preparations were made using a copy milling technique. All 42 preparations were restored using a direct resin composite restoration technique. Restorations were loaded until fracture.
Results: The fracture strength of the preparation with shoulder was not significantly different from the preparation without the shoulder. The fracture strength of the preparations in the reference group, which had no resistance form, was significantly less than in Groups A and B (ANOVA, P<0.05).

Introduction: Impact microindentation (IMI) measures bone material strength index (BMSi) in vivo. However, its ability to predict fractures is still uncertain. This study aimed to determine the association between BMSi and 10 year fracture probability, as calculated by the FRAX algorithm.

Department of Restorative Dentistry, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University, Rize, Turkey.
Objectives: The aim of this systematic review and network meta-analysis was to compare the flexural strength of provisional fixed dental prostheses (PFDPs) fabricated using different 3D printing technologies, including digital light processing (DLP), stereolithography (SLA), liquid crystal display (LCD), selective laser sintering (SLS), Digital Light Synthesis (DLS), and fused deposition modeling (FDM).
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Open Grey up to September 2024. Studies evaluating the flexural strength of PFDPs fabricated by 3D printing systems were included.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on skeletal muscle structure and function in D-galactose (D-gal)-induced C57BL/6J mice.
Methods: Eighteen male C57BL/6J mice of specific pathogen-free (SPF) grade, aged 8 weeks, were selected and divided into three groups: a control group (0.9% saline gavage for 16 weeks), a D-gal group (subcutaneous injection of 200 mg/kg D-galactose in the upper neck region, once daily for 8 weeks), and a D-gal + APS group (subcutaneous injection of 200 mg/kg D-galactose, once daily for 8 weeks, with concurrent administration of 100 mg/kg APS by gavage for 8 weeks).
Evaluation of using grip strength and hand muscle cross-sectional area to predict secondary fractures post distal radius fracture.

Unlabelled: Grip strength measurement, as a surrogate of sarcopenia diagnosis, effectively predicts secondary fracture risk in distal radius fracture patients. This simple tool enhances clinical practice by identifying high-risk patients for targeted interventions, potentially preventing or reversing functional decline and recurrent fractures.
Purpose: To evaluate grip strength and hand muscle cross-sectional area as predictors of secondary fracture risk in patients with a history of distal radius fracture (DRF), serving as surrogates of the diagnosis of sarcopenia.
