Department of Ophthalmology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35233, USA.

Published: December 2005

A 90-year-old woman developed an acute left third cranial nerve palsy. Brain imaging revealed a left sphenoid sinus mucocele. Endoscopic marsupialization of the mucocele led to complete resolution of the third cranial nerve palsy.

: This study aimed to evaluate the role of A-PRF (advanced platelet-rich fibrin) in the enhancement of wound healing and protecting the periodontal health of mandibular second molars after the extraction of mandibular third molars. Additionally, the study assessed the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of mandibular second molars as markers of inflammation. : Twenty-five systemically healthy adult patients with bilateral removal of impacted mandibular third molars were included.

Positional deformity (PD), also known as deformational plagiocephaly or non-synostosis, is a primary cause of abnormal head shape and asymmetry in infants. The most common type, occipital plagiocephaly, leads to flattening of one side of the back of the head or the entire head (positional brachycephaly). PD results from external forces on the growing skull, often due to childbirth and improper positioning during sleep.

Fracture Resistance of Chairside CAD/CAM Lithium Disilicate Partial and Full Coverage Crowns and Veneers for Maxillary Canines.

Oper Dent

January 2025

Nathaniel C Lawson, DDS, PhD, director of Master of Science in Dental Biomaterials program and associate professor, Department of Clinical and Community Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry, Birmingham, AL, USA.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of chairside computer assisted design and computer assisted manufacturing (CAD-CAM) lithium disilicate partial and full-coverage crowns and veneers for maxillary canines.

Methods And Materials: Forty-eight restorations for maxillary right canines (12 per group) were designed as follows: (1) partial crown with finish line in the upper middle third; (2) partial crown with finish line in the lower middle third; (3) traditional labial veneer; and (4) traditional full-coverage crown. Restorations were fabricated out of lithium disilicate (Amber Mill, Hassbio) using a chairside CAD-CAM system (Cerec Dentsply Sirona).

Purpose: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a severe complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing intravenous thrombolysis therapy (IVT). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) contributes to the development of AIS and the disruption of the blood-brain barrier. This study aims to investigate the relationship between EAT and the risk of HT, as well as functional outcomes, in AIS patients treated with IVT.
