Statement Of Problem: As a result of natural tooth anatomy or gingival recession, anterior teeth are more likely to present increased abutment finish line curvature.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the curvature of the finish line on the marginal gap widths of ceramic copings.
Material And Methods: An ivorine maxillary central incisor was prepared for 3 different abutment finish line curvatures (1, 3, and 5 mm). Thirty-six copings were fabricated for each of these curvatures by using Cercon, IPS e.max, and Lava systems. The marginal gap width was measured by using a stereomicroscope, and the data were subsequently analyzed by means of a 2-way ANOVA and a 1-way ANOVA (α=.05).
Results: A significantly higher mean marginal gap width was found for the 5-mm curvature group (Cercon, 76.59 ±23.01 µm; IPS e.max, 106.44 ±18.48 µm; Lava, 128.34 ±20.79 µm) than for both the 3-mm curvature group (Cercon, 60.18 ±9.74 µm; IPS e.max, 81.79 ±16.20 µm; Lava, 99.19 ±15.32 µm) and the 1-mm curvature group (Cercon, 38.3 ±6.85 µm; IPS e.max, 52.22 ±10.66 µm; Lava, 69.99 ±6.77 µm).
Conclusions: The greater the finish line curvature, the wider the marginal gap widths for the 3 ceramic systems.

Background: While prosthesis-associated malignancies have been acknowledged, awareness among surgeons and patients in the ophthalmologic field remains limited, despite the frequent occurrence of prosthesis-related surgeries. We aim to address this gap through a scoping review of malignancies following ophthalmologic surgeries involving various foreign device/prosthesis/implants.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a review using PubMed and Embase for studies on cancer and ophthalmic prostheses/implants.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different preparation depths (0, 2 and 4 mm) of different restoration designs (classic endocrown design versus overlay design) on marginal adaptation of restorations fabricated of two different restorative materials (lithium disilicate and PEEK).
Materials And Methods: Sixty mandibular natural molars were collected as abutments for the restorations of this study, and grouped in three main groups of different cavity depths (0, 2 and 4). Each group was divided into two subgroups according to material of fabrication to (L) for lithium disilicate (IPS emax CAD, Ivoclar vivadent, Switzarland) and (P) for PEEK (Bio-hpp, Bredent, Germany).

Background: Tenuazonic acid (TeA), a mycotoxin produced by Alternaria alternata, contaminates various food commodities and is known to cause acute and chronic health effects. However, the lack of human toxicokinetic (TK) data and the reliance on external exposure estimates have stalled a comprehensive risk assessment for TeA.
Objective: To bridge this gap, a human TK trial and population-based TK (PopTK) modeling were applied to determine human TK parameters of TeA, and the results were applied for risk screening using population biomonitoring data and threshold of toxicological concern (TTC)-based approaches.

Background: The growing demand for esthetic restorative materials highlights the need to evaluate their marginal accuracy and fracture resistance to ensure optimal clinical outcomes for primary molars.
Aim: The aim was to assess the vertical marginal gap distance and fracture resistance of esthetic restorative materials after cyclic loading.
Design: Forty extracted primary molars were randomly divided into four groups: Group I, stainless steel veneered crowns with tooth-colored material; Group II, prefabricated monolithic zirconia crowns; Group III, yttria-partially stabilized zirconia computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) crowns; and Group IV, hybrid ceramic CAD/CAM crowns.

Objective: The use of vertical margin design in all-ceramic restoration has generated inquiries regarding its clinical efficacy under diverse dynamic oral conditions. This research aims to assess the marginal fit and fracture resistance of monolithic zirconia crowns featuring vertical margin design as opposed to those with conventional horizontal margin design.
Materials And Methods: Two metal dies were employed to generate replicated resin dies mimicking mandibular first molar preparation.
