AI Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the 20-year survival rate of 525 composite indirect restorations in premolars and molars, focusing on various patient and restoration variables.
- The average survival rate of these restorations was found to be 57%, with a high survival probability of 80% at 10 years and 90% thereafter.
- The study concluded that indirect composite restorations are a reliable and effective choice for posterior dental work, as they maintained their clinical quality over the long term.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the survival of 525 composite indirect restorations in premolars and molars after a follow-up of 20 years. For each patient, the following variables were recorded and analyzed: age, sex, smoking status, presence of plaque according to O'Leary index, and presence of bruxism. For each restoration, the following variables were collected: restoration class, tooth type (premolar or molar), and restoration material. Mean 20-year survival rate of composite restorations was 57%, ranging from 44% to 75%. The Kaplan-Meier method demonstrated a probability of survival at 10 years of 80% and 90%. Surviving restorations kept their clinical characteristics extremely well, as assessed on the basis of the United States Public Health Service criteria. The results of this study demonstrate the efficacy of indirect composite restorations, confirming their reliability as a posterior prosthetic clinical option.

Developing superior bioinks presents several challenges in achieving ideal properties such as biocompatibility, viscosity, degradation rates & mechanical properties which are required to make functional tissue constructs. Various attempts have been made to prepare excellent bioink compositions that are suitable to address the above challenges. Herein, a versatile combination of gelatin (GL) - gellan gum (GG) bioink was successfully formulated & the bioink 7.

The gut microbiome impacts human health in direct and indirect ways. While many associations have been discovered between specific microbiome compositions and diseases, establishing causality, understanding the underlying mechanisms, and developing successful microbiome-based therapies require novel experimental approaches. In this opinion, we discuss how in vitro cultivation of diverse communities enables systematic investigation of the individual and collective functions of gut microbes.

Background: Physical exercise improves clinical state of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD), and evidence from experimental models suggests it has a potential to slow down the disease progression. Improved glucose metabolism as well as exerkines, bioactive molecules released into circulation with each exercise bout, contribute to the synchronized exercise‐induced adaptive response at a systemic level. Our aim was to assess effects of exercise on clinical state and molecular changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood of patients with PD.

Background: Perceived control is a psychosocial construct thought to reflect one’s beliefs about their ability to influence life outcomes and includes both internal (self‐efficacy, mastery) and external (structural barriers, constraints) subcomponents. While perceived control has been found to relate to numerous health outcomes such as cardiovascular and mental health, less is known about its impact on brain health. A prior study found that behavioral (i.

Background: Synapse loss represents the closest correlate of cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Standard microscopy, due to increased diffraction of light with tissue depth, imposes a limit on axial resolution extending to ∼ 700nm. , developed by Micheva & Smith (2007), extends this axial limit via physical sectioning of resin‐embedded tissue into ribbons of 70nm contiguous sections that are serially imaged and reconstructed into 3D volumes; thus, allowing for nanometric synaptic puncta to be resolved at the mesoscale.
