AI Article Synopsis

  • The study evaluated the biomechanical behavior and safety of PEKK, a high-performance polymer, as a dental post-core material using finite element analysis (FEA) in comparison to traditional materials like gold and fiberglass.
  • A 3D model of a maxillary central incisor was created, and a cyclic loading force of 50 N was applied at a 45° angle to assess the material properties.
  • While PEKK demonstrated favorable stress distribution and high resistance to failure, it was found to have a greater risk of debonding and crown failure over time compared to metal or fiberglass post-core systems.

Article Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biomechanical behavior and long-term safety of high performance polymer PEKK as an intraradicular dental post-core material through comparative finite element analysis (FEA) with other conventional post-core materials. A 3D FEA model of a maxillary central incisor was constructed. A cyclic loading force of 50 N was applied at an angle of 45° to the longitudinal axis of the tooth at the palatal surface of the crown. For comparison with traditionally used post-core materials, three materials (gold, fiberglass, and PEKK) were simulated to determine their post-core properties. PEKK, with a lower elastic modulus than root dentin, showed comparably high failure resistance and a more favorable stress distribution than conventional post-core material. However, the PEKK post-core system showed a higher probability of debonding and crown failure under long-term cyclic loading than the metal or fiberglass post-core systems.

Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 1 (NOD1) is one of the innate immune receptors that has been associated with tumorigenesis and abnormally expressed in various cancers. However, the role of NOD1 in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) has not been investigated. We used the Tumor Immune Estimate Resource (TIMER) database to compare the differential expression of NOD1 in various tumors.

Background: Forecasting future public pharmaceutical expenditure is a challenge for healthcare payers, particularly owing to the unpredictability of new market introductions and their economic impact. No best-practice forecasting methods have been established so far. The literature distinguishes between the top-down approach, based on historical trends, and the bottom-up approach, using a combination of historical and horizon scanning data.
