Statement Of Problem: Cycling masticatory loads decrease the strength of particulate filler composites (PFCs) and initiate the failure process by fatigue. The life expectancy of a composite resin restoration under stress remains difficult to predict.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the fracture resistance and the compressive fatigue limits (CFL) of anterior crown restorations made of a short-fiber reinforced composite resin (SFC), to investigate selected mechanical properties of the material following standard test methods, and to observe their correlation with the CFL.
Material And Methods: Specimens (n=10) were fabricated either from SFC (everX Posterior, GC Corp) or PFC (G-ænial anterior, GC Corp). The properties investigated were flexural strength (FS), compression strength (CS), diametral-tensile strength (DTS), and single-edge-notched-bend fracture toughness (FT) following ISO standards. Fracture resistance was determined by static load (n=10) and the CFL at 10000 cycles was determined using a staircase approach (n=20), both on anterior composite resin crowns. The results were analyzed with 1-way ANOVA (α=.05) or 2-way ANOVA (α=.05) followed by a Tukey B post hoc test and the Pearson-correlation analysis.
Results: The SFC crowns had higher fracture resistance (954 ±121 N) than the PFC crowns (415 ±75 N) (P<.001) and higher CFL (267 ±23 N) than the PFC crowns (135 ±64 N) (P<.001). SFC revealed also higher FT (2.6 ±0.6 MPa·m(1/2)) than the PFC (1.0 ±0.2 MPa·m(1/2)) (F=69.313, P<.001). A significant correlation was observed only between the FT and the CFL (r(2)=0.899; P<.001).
Conclusions: SFC crowns showed good performance under static and fatigue loading. FT was the only in vitro test method that filtered as a clinically relevant parameter.

Background: Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is a rare but devastating hereditary disease. Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis is caused by a mutation in the neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase 1 gene (NRTK1). The condition is characterized by multiple injuries, recurrent infections, and mental retardation.

Purpose: To define the anatomical variance between orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures, and its change with age.
Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analyzing data from 557 patients with isolated blowout fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. Axial and quasi-sagittal CT images were analyzed to compare radiologic data on orbital wall morphology between fracture site groups and among age groups.

A 6-year-old Labrador retriever dog with a history of pneumonia was presented because of an acute onset of dull mentation and coughing. Diagnostic imaging and cytology revealed a pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, and pleural effusion, consistent with pyothorax. The dog underwent exploratory sternotomy for lung lobectomy of the right cranial and middle lung lobes.

Hydrogels have received great attention due to their molecular designability and wide application range. However, they are prone to freeze at low temperatures due to the existence of mass water molecules, which can damage their flexibility and transparency, greatly limiting their use in cold environments. Although adding cryoprotectants can reduce the freezing point of hydrogels, it may also deteriorate the mechanical properties and face the risk of cryoprotectant leakage.

Purpose: To investigate how varying ferrule heights and the number of glass fiber posts affect fracture resistance and behavior of endodontically treated maxillary first premolars with substantial loss of tooth structure.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four extracted endodontically treated human maxillary first premolars were divided into three groups (n = 8) based on ferrule height and post number. The groups were as follows: premolars of 2 mm ferrule height that were restored with single posts (control group), premolars of 0.
