The objectives of this study were to compare the fracture strength of endocrown restorations fabricated with different preparation depth and various CAD/CAM ceramics, and to assess the fracture types. Endodontically treated 100 extracted human permanent maxillary centrals were divided into two preparation depth groups as short (S: 3-mm-deep) and long (L: 6-mm-deep), then five ceramic subgroups, namely: feldspathic-ceramic (Vita Mark II-VM2), lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic (IPS e.max CAD-E.max), resin-ceramic (LAVA Ultimate-LU), polymer infiltrated ceramic (Vita Enamic-VE) and monoblock zirconia (inCoris TZI-TZI) (n=10/subgroup). The endocrowns were fabricated by CAD/CAM and were cemented with resin cement (RelyX U200). The teeth were thermally cycled (5,000cycles) and fracture tests were performed at 45º angle to the teeth. The data were statistically analyzed (Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney U), failure modes were evaluated with stereomicroscopy. Zirconia group provided the statistically highest fracture strength, but also exhibited non-repairable failures. Preparation depth has an effect on the fracture strength only for feldspathic ceramic.

Aim: 3D-printed scaffolds loaded with healing directed agents could be employed for better treatment outcome in regenerative dentistry. The aim of this study was to fabricate and characterize simple 3D-printed poly lactic acid (PLA) scaffolds coated with nanoHydroxyapatite (nHA), Naringin (NAR), or their combination, and testing their morphological, chemical, mechanical, antibacterial, biocompatible and bioactive properties.
Methodology: Two variants pore sizes, 300 and 700 μm, of 3D-printed PLA disc scaffolds measuring (10 × 1 mm) were fabricated.

Compression neuropathy is a prevalent medical condition, including common types such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, sciatica, and many others. While the neurological consequences are well understood, the effects on bone properties and the potential downstream impact on fracture risk remain less clear. This study aimed to assess the influence of compressive neuropathy on bone properties using a rabbit model of sciatic nerve compression.

For millennia mud has been utilized to make brick for the construction of both residential as well as architectural purposes. However, concerns regarding their vulnerability to different kinds of hazards due to their weak mechanical properties and durability have emerged. This study addressed the global challenge of developing sustainable and affordable construction materials, particularly in resource-constrained regions.

Introduction: Rhizarthrosis, or osteoarthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint, predominantly affects women over 50, with up to 30% experiencing some degree of arthritis in this joint. Traditional surgical approaches, such as trapeziectomy with ligament reconstruction, can result in some patients in persistent pain or limited functionality. TMC ball-in-socket arthroplasty, with a cup placed in the distal scaphoid, offers a promising alternative to traditional arthrodesis or resection-suspension arthroplasty.
