Objectives: This study aims to explore the effect of improving clinical efficiency by replacing traditional impression workflow with centralized digital impression workflow.
Methods: The department of prosthodontics in Center of Stomatology, Peking University Shenzhen Hospital has improved the clinical workflow by replacing the traditional impression made by doctors using impression materials for each patient with a centralized digital impression made by one technician for all patients in the department. This cross-sectional study recorded the chairside time required for impression taking in patients undergoing single posterior zirconia full crown restoration before clinical process improvement; the time required for centralized digital impression production; the comfort level of patients; and the adjacency relationship, occlusal contact relationship, and time required for prostheses adjusting (i.

Statement Of Problem: Currently there is no regulatory requirement or international standard for the wear resistance of dental materials and therefore no need to test prior to market launch.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate and compare the total volumetric wear characteristics of milled polymer infiltrated ceramic network (MPICN) and printed polymer resin (PPR) as substrates opposing five antagonists, human enamel (EN), lithium disilicate (LD), zirconia (ZR), MPICN, and PPR, and to evaluate and compare the volumetric wear of these same materials as antagonists.
Material And Methods: Ten of each antagonist for a total of 50 EN, LD (IPS e.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and severe complication of diabetes mellitus, the etiology of which remains insufficiently understood, particularly regarding the involvement of extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, nanoflow cytometry to detect EVs in DFU skin tissues is used and found a significant increase in the Translocase of Outer Mitochondrial Membrane 20 (TOM20) mitochondrial-derived vesicles (MDVs). The role of MDVs in DFU is yet to be reported.

Introduction: The ubiquity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) personal smartphones, Instant Messaging (IM), and third-party apps, has made these technologies compelling for efficient communications between clinicians regarding patient care. However, the sensitivity of patient-related information necessitates secure, GDPR compliant modalities that prevent unauthorised access and ensure confidentiality. This scoping review explores existing guidelines, policies, and regulations that advise clinicians in the UK and Ireland on the secure use of these digital communication tools.

Direct resin restoration has been widely used to restore the tooth defect for its convenience and minimal invasion. However, the accuracy of the final contour of class II restoration is often unpredictable and quite technique-sensitive due to the limitation of traditional matrix band system. In this study, the authors developed a novel matrix band system using shape memory polymer (SMP), which possessed two reversible shapes including digitized permanent shape to reproduce anatomical proximal contour and programmable temporary shape for clinical practice and reservation.
