The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of eccentric cyclic loading on implant components using the internal joint system with titanium and zirconia abutments. Abutments were made of either pure titanium (Ti group) or zirconia (TZP group). Cyclic loading test was conducted according to the specifications of ISO 14801. Loading condition was at 2 points assuming axial load and eccentric load. The reverse torque value reduced after the eccentric load and reduced more in the TZP group than the Ti group. Marginal gap changed after eccentric loading, and was greater in the TZP group. In the TZP group, changes in configuration were observed in the implant body, and Ti was detected on the abutment surface. From the above, the eccentric load may have worse effects than axial loads. It was suggested that the TZP group was clinically disadvantageous compared to the Ti group.

Objective: Investigation of the mechanical properties of occlusal veneers made from zirconia with varying translucency, bonded to different tooth substrates.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-four extracted molars were divided into two groups: preparation within enamel (E) or extending into dentin (D). Veneers were milled from four zirconia ceramics (n = 8): 5Y-TZP (HT), a multilayer of 5 and 3Y-TZP (GT), 3Y-TZP (LT), and 4Y-TZP (MT).

Oocyte-secreted factors (OSFs), such as BMP15 and GDF9, are soluble paracrine factors that drive cumulus cell differentiation and function, sustaining oocyte competence acquisition and embryo development. This study aimed to assess the effect of BMP15 and GDF9 on IVM medium of prepubertal goat oocytes. COCs were in vitro matured in absence (control group) or presence of 100 ng/mL of BMP15, GDF9, or both.

This study evaluated the effect of grinding and finishing treatments (polishing or glaze) on the color stability, translucency and opalescence of a translucent zirconia (3Y-TZP) after immersion in red wine. Discs (Ø= 12 mm; thickness 0.8 mm) of 3Y-TZP (Zenostar T, Ivoclar AG) were randomly allocated (n= 8) according to the surface treatment factor: Ctrl - as-sintered; Gr - grinding with diamond bur #4219; Gr + Pol - grinding followed by polishing; Gr + Gl - grinding followed by glaze.

The study aimed to verify the effect of Tirzepatide (Tzp, a dual agonist GIP/GLP-1) on intestinal health and microbiota balance in an obese diabetic ovariectomized (Ovx) mice model. Female C57BL/6 mice with Ovx and diet-induced obesity with diabetes were treated with Tzp (10 nmol/kg) for four weeks. Control (C) and obese-diabetic subgroups (Od) were formed (group abbreviations: O, Ovx; T, Tzp; n = 30/group): C, CT, CO, COT, Od, OdT, OdO, OdOT.

Objectives: To prospectively evaluate the wear of posterior zirconia resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) with polished occlusal surfaces and their natural enamel antagonists compared to contralateral controls in an enamel-enamel contact over 5 years.
Materials And Methods: In six patients with either an inlay- or wing-retained RBFPD made of monolithic 3 mol% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP), wear was evaluated indirectly using baseline and annual polyvinyl siloxane impressions. Resulting gypsum models were digitized and aligned by unchanged surface areas.
