Objectives: To evaluate the relative translucency parameter (RTP) values of computer-aided design (CAD)-computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) materials after UV aging.
Materials And Methods: 70 specimens (n = 10) of Bruxzir Anterior (BA); E.max Cad (EC); Lava Ultimate (LU); Cerasmart (CE); Vita Enamic (VE); Vita Suprinity (VS); Vita Mark II (VM) were prepared (1 mm ± 0.01 mm). Color measurements were performed using a spectrofotometer (VITA Easyshade). RTP values of the specimens before (RTP ) and after UV aging (RTP ) were evaluated. Statistical analyses were done with repeated measurements of two-way-ANOVA with Bonferroni test (P < 0.05).
Results: Evaluating RTP and RTP values; significant differences were found (P < 0.05). There were no significant difference between the RTP values of CE and VS (P = 0.779); EC and VM (P = 0.952); VM and LU (P = 0.995); EP and LU (P = 0.653). Evaluating RTP values; VE and BA were found significantly different from the others (P < 0.05). For all evaluated groups TP values decreased after UV aging (P < 0.05). The most RTP reduction was observed for LU; while VM and EC were less affected.
Conclusion: Glass ceramic VE showed the highest RTP and zirconia-based BA was the most opaque restorative CAD-CAM material. UV aging caused the CAD-CAM materials get more opaque.
Clinical Significance: In cases where translucency is needed chosing VE would give better esthetic results; while zirconia-based BA should be used if more opaque restoration is needed. Clinicians should be aware of that restorations get more opaque after usage.

Background And Objectives: For the planning of surgical procedures involving the bony reconstruction of the mandible, the autologous iliac crest graft, along with the fibula graft, has become established as a preferred donor region. While computer-assisted planning methods are increasingly gaining importance, the necessary preparation of geometric data based on CT imaging remains largely a manual process. The aim of this work was to develop and test a method for the automated segmentation of the iliac crest for subsequent reconstruction planning.

Pyrrolizidine alkaloids N-oxides (PA-N-oxides) are predominant in plants and herbal foods, and are converted to pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) upon consumption, leading to toxicity. The effect of interindividual kinetic differences on the relative potency values of PA-N-oxides compared to their PAs (REP) was studied, with riddelliine N-oxide (RIDO) and riddelliine (RID) as model compounds. In vitro kinetic data measured in incubations with 30 fecal and 25 liver S9 donor samples showed high variation across individuals, where the interindividual variability was captured with Bayesian multilevel regression.

Material And Methods: Artificial darkened lateral incisors with 1mm-thick veneers preparations were used to evaluate color masking of different resinous materials, with or without opacifiers: IPS Empress Direct (ED) with or without ED Opaque; and Essentia (ES) with or without ES Masking Liner. For the RTP test; disc-shaped specimens were performed and evaluated with a spectrophotometer (VITA Easyshade) against black and C4 backgrounds.

To date, only four studies directly measured dermal absorption kinetics of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in human skin. Reported kinetic parameters spanned two to five orders of magnitude, demonstrating the need to determine the causes of variability and identify the most appropriate dermal absorption factors for use in exposure assessments. We evaluated the reliability and physiological relevance of studies that measured PFOA fractional absorption, steady-state flux (J), and dermal permeability coefficient (K).
