Purpose: To observe the clinical effects of screw-retained implant-supported casted abutment integrated crowns (IACs) in the molar region with limited interocclusal space.
Methods: This study involved 507 implants in 376 patients with limited interocclusal space in the molar region. All implants were inserted to the jaw by standard one-stage protocol. Screw-retained IACs were used as the final prosthesis. With 6 to 24 months follow-up, the clinical effects of screw-retained IACs were recorded and analyzed using SPSS 17.0 software package.
Results: During 6 to 24 months of follow-up, the implant survival rate was 99.61%. 37 patients had ceramic fracture which mainly happened in the group with 3-4 mm interocclusal space. In each group, porcelain fused to metal (PFM) prosthesis had ceramic fracture more easily than PFM prosthesis without porcelain on occlusal surface(P<0.05). As the interocclusal space became smaller, the probability of collapsing porcelain increased(P<0.05).13 patients had screw loosening. 13 patients suffered from gingival swelling and bleeding, they were given periodontal treatment and oral hygiene instruction. Patients were satisfied with the restoration results.
Conclusions: Screw-retained IACs can be used to repair missing teeth in the molar region with limited interocclusal space.

Effect of free gingival graft dimension on postsurgical shrinkage in posterior implant placement: A prospective parallel cohort study.
J Prosthet Dent
January 2025
Full Professor, Department of Restorative Dentistry, University of Washington, Seattle, Wash.
Statement Of Problem: The impact of free gingival graft (FGG) dimensions on the postsurgical shrinkage of keratinized tissue width (KTW) and surface area in posterior implant sites is unclear. Standardized assessments of how graft dimensions influence KTW and surface area shrinkage rates over a 6-month period after FGG are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective parallel cohort study was to examine the impact of the graft dimensions on the postsurgical shrinkage of KTW and surface area over a 6-month follow-up period after FGG in the posterior regions.

Objectives: To characterize two experimental zirconia bilayer materials compared to their monolithic controls, before and after hydrothermal aging.
Methods: Commercial zirconia powders were utilized to fabricate two bilayer materials: 3Y-TZP+ 5Y-PSZ (3Y+5Y/BI) and 4Y-PSZ+ 5Y-PSZ (4Y+5Y/BI), alongside control groups 3Y-TZP (3Y/C), 4Y-PSZ (4Y/C), and 5Y-PSZ (5Y/C). Compacted specimens were sintered (1550 °C- 2 h, 3 °C/min), and half of them underwent hydrothermal aging (134 °C-20h, 2.

Mangrove wetlands are strategic locations for mitigating climate changes. In order to address the harm of rapid climate change to mangrove ecosystems, it is necessary to scientifically predict the fate of mangrove ecosystems, which can be achieved by reconstructing the development history of mangrove forests. This study analyzes the contribution of mangrove-derived organic matter (CMOM) from sediment core F in Phang Nga Province, Thailand by using the endmember mixing model based on stable organic carbon isotopes (δC) and C/N (molar) ratio.

Despite their critical role in context-dependent interactions for protein functions, intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are often overlooked for designing peptide assemblies. Here, we exploit IDRs to enable context-dependent heterotypic assemblies of intrinsically disordered peptides, where "context-dependent" refers to assembly behavior driven by interactions with other molecules. By attaching an aromatic segment to oppositely charged intrinsically disordered peptides, we achieve a nanofiber formation.

The elevated glutathione (GSH) level and hypoxia in tumor cells are two key obstacles to realizing the high performance of phototherapy. Herein, the electron-donating rotors are introduced to wings of electron-withdrawing pyrrolopyrrole cyanine (PPCy) to form donor-acceptor-donor structure -aggregates for amplified superoxide radical generation, GSH depletion, and photothermal action for hypoxic cancer phototherapy to tackle this challenge. Three PPCy photosensitizers (PPCy-H, PPCy-Br, and PPCy-TPE) produce hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and superoxide radicals (O) in hypoxia tumors exclusively as well as excellent photothermal performances under light irradiation.
