Objective: The present study determined whether primary molar pulpotomies showed equal in vitro and clinical success when restored with sandwich restoration with a bulk-fill flowable composite (BFRBC) liner versus a stainless steel crown (SSC) restoration.
Study Design: Sixty extracted human primary second molars with proximo-occlusal cavities were selected for in vitro test. The specimens were randomly divided into three groups (n = 20) and restored with sandwich restoration with a BFRBC liner composite (RBC) restoration and SSC. In addition, sixty teeth were selected from 20 children and each child had at least three primary molars (first and/or second primary molar) requiring pulpotomy. The patients were recalled for clinical and radiographic evaluation at approximately 6- and 12-month intervals.
Results: The SSC restoration had significantly higher microleakage than the others. Although there was a significant difference between the RBC and the SSC (P = 0.02), the differences between the BFRBC and the RBC, as well as between the BFRBC and the SSC, were not statistically significant at the 12-month radiographic evaluation (P = 0.33 and P = 0.11, respectively).
Conclusion: In laboratory conditions, sandwich restoration with BFRBC liner showed a superior seal margins of pulpotomized primary molars. Based clinical and radiographical evaluation, teeth treated with formocresol pulpotomy and restored with sandwich restoration with BFRBC liner were as successful as those restored with a SSC.

Professor, Department of Ophthalmology, King George's Medical University, Lucknow, India.
Statement Of Problem: Clinical studies evaluating the levels of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in tears and conjunctival secretions of patients with ocular defects after using ocular prostheses are lacking. Therefore, a comparative evaluation of IL-1β levels in the defective eye before and after placement of an ocular prosthesis is needed.
Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to compare the microbiota and IL-1β in tears and conjunctival secretions of patients with an ocular defect after using an ocular prosthesis.

Article Synopsis
- Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are advanced light-emitting materials that use near-infrared light for sensing, helping to avoid issues caused by natural fluorescence in biological samples.
- Traditional UCNP designs have limitations in accurately locating luminescent doped ions within their structure, leading to background noise and inefficient light emission.
- The new core-middle-shell UCNPs-IR820 design improves luminescence detection by incorporating a "sandwich" structure that enhances energy transfer, allowing for effective signaling changes in response to specific analytes like ClO.

Clinical cardiac patches exhibit unsatisfied biocompatibility, low adhesion, and inadequate compliance and suboptimal mechanical properties for cardiac disorders repair. To address these challenges, herein we have innovatively proposed a biomimetic nanofiber electrospun membrane with a sandwich structure strategy. The composite patch comprises a stretchable polyurethane (PU) as basic material, then infiltrated with biocompatible silk fibroin methacryloyl (Silk-MA) as the middle layer via electrospinning and finally covered with Bio-ILs (chemically modified biocompatible ionic liquids) to impart electrical conductivity.

This study aimed to describe a novel sandwich technique of minimally invasive surgical implantation by using corneal stromal lenticules for corneal perforation. This prospective observational study included nine patients aged 23-79 years (mean, 54 ± 9) from Tianjin Eye Hospital. Corneal stromal lenticules with a central thickness of 120 μm were obtained from small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE).

Background: Lower facial asymmetry often results in an esthetically unpleasing appearance. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel method for correcting lower facial asymmetry using mandibular augmentation with sandwich bone grafts from the contralateral mandibular outer cortex (MOC), and to evaluate the efficacy of this method using computer-assisted techniques.
Methods: The medical records of 16 patients with lower facial asymmetry who underwent mandibular augmentation with sandwich bone grafts from the contralateral MOC between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed.
