Statement Of Problem: Adequate bonding between pickup material and the newer generation of prepolymerized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) for computer-aided-design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) dentures is essential to the success of treatment. However, studies on the bond between these 2 materials are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bond strength of 3 different chairside implant LOCATOR attachment pickup material groups and prepolymerized PMMA by investigating their pushout force.
Material And Methods: Prepolymerized PMMA, (Lucitone 199) was used as the denture base material. The material was cut into 25×25×5-mm disks, and a Ø6.5-mm hole was drilled into the center of the disks. Six pickup materials from 3 groups were tested: composite resin with bonding agent (N=3, EZ PickUp, Quick Up, and Triad gel), composite resin without bonding agent (N=1, Chairside), and acrylic resin (N=2, Jet denture repair acrylic, and Duralay). All materials were prepared as per the manufacturers' recommendations and were used to fill the center hole. The specimens were left for 48 hours to completely polymerize before testing. Half of the specimens from each material then received thermocycling treatment. All specimens were subjected to axial pushout testing with a universal testing machine.
Results: In the nonthermocycled specimens, Duralay and Jet denture repair acrylic resin showed significantly higher pushout force than that of the other groups (P<.001). Triad gel showed higher pushout force than EZ PickUp and Quick Up (P<.001). Chairside showed the lowest push-out force. The same trend was also observed in the thermocycled specimens. The peak pushout force of nonthermocycled Chairside composite resin was significantly lower than that of thermocycled Chairside composite resin (P=.03). Conversely, the peak pushout force of nonthermocycled EZ PickUp specimens was significantly higher than that of thermocycled EZ PickUp specimens (P=.01). Variation in fracture patterns among groups was observed, and the correlation between pushout force and fracture patterns was recorded.
Conclusions: Two materials from the acrylic resin group, Jet denture repair acrylic and Duralay, showed higher pushout forces, indicating a better bond with Lucitone 199 CAD-CAM denture base material compared with other tested materials, including composite resin with bonding agent (EZ PickUp, Quick Up, and Triad gel) and composite resin without bonding agent (Chairside).

Background: Accessing opioid use disorder (OUD) treatment is difficult for individuals in unstable housing. This population often uses public libraries for computer and internet access, which could provide telehealth access to OUD treatment. Therefore, we developed a novel 12-week library-facilitated telehealth intervention study called "Bupe by the Book" (BBB), which uses library resources to facilitate the initiation and retention of OUD treatment with buprenorphine.

The acoustics of cervical auscultation of swallowing, a potential objective tool for the swallowing assessment, has been explored in normal subjects. However, there needs to be more literature profiling the same in individuals with swallowing problems. The study estimated the acoustic features of swallowing sounds in individuals with swallowing and voice problems and compared them with the previous reported findings in literature.

Article Synopsis
- Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for patients with severe knee osteoarthritis, especially when non-surgical treatments fail, leading to significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life.
- The procedure can use various components (cemented, cementless, or a hybrid) and is generally performed with a focus on mechanical alignment, although newer alignment strategies like gap and kinematic balancing are showing promising results in early studies.
- The preferred surgical technique for cementless TKA involves a specific patient positioning and incision approach, starting with the application of a thigh tourniquet and a parapatellar incision, ensuring proper alignment and access during the surgery.*

Aim: The objective of this study was to assess marginal bone level around single implants inserted in fresh extraction sockets in the anterior maxillary region and instantly restored with computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing customized temporary crowns cemented on the final abutment.
Materials And Methods: A total of 20 patients (15 females and 5 males, with a mean age of 30 years), where 20 were placed in fresh extraction sockets. After raising a full-thickness flap, atraumatic extraction was performed the implant site was prepared and fixtures were stabilized on the palatal bone wall.
