This study evaluated the fracture resistance of teeth submitted to internal bleaching and restored with different procedures. Forty maxillary incisors were endodontically treated and assigned to 4 groups (n=10): G1- restored with composite resin (CR), G2- bleached with hydrogen peroxide (HP) and restored with CR, G3- restored with CR and fiberglass posts (CR + posts) and G4- bleached and restored with CR + posts. HP was applied in the buccal surface and pulp chamber 3 times at each one of 2 sessions with an interval of 7 days between them. Additional 10 sound incisors were subjected to fracture strength test (gold standard). The fracture strength (kN) was determined in an Instron machine. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey-Kramer test (α=0.05). The untreated teeth (gold standard) showed the highest (p.

Background: Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) is a common overuse injury characterized by activity-induced pain along the distal medial tibial border. Current best practice includes rest and progressive resistance training. However, some patients with MTSS may be unable to tolerate the loading during exercise.

A 50-year-old woman with kidney failure complained of back pain and an inability to walk. The medical history included hypothyroidism, nephrolithiasis, and resistant anemia aligned with several transfusions. The examination showed hepatosplenomegaly, lower limb weakness, absence of reflexes, and lack of sensations with a sensory level T6.

Background: Patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs) encounter significant difficulties and challenges in their daily lives due to their medical condition and a lack of strategies for modifying activities. Occupation-based interventions have emerged as promising strategies to improve occupational performance and participation outcomes, addressing these challenges.
Purpose: This study aims to develop the aid for decision-making in occupation choice for distal radius fracture (ADOC-DRF), a novel decision-aid tool designed to facilitate patient-centered and occupation-based goal-setting by offering illustrations tailored to the postsurgical recovery period and prescribed activity loads.

Purpose: To determine the effect of wall thickness on the fracture load of hollow-structured zirconia teeth fabricated using 3D printing.
Methods: The geometry of an artificial ceramic tooth (mandibular right first molar) was copied and modified. The final test group design yielded wall thicknesses of 0.
