Introduction And Hypothesis: The objective of our study was to evaluate the need for antibiotic prophylaxis for urinary tract infection (UTI) prevention before Onabotulinum toxin A injection for overactive bladder (OAB). We hypothesize that the lack of antibiotic prophylaxis might not be inferior to administering prophylaxis.
Methods: This was a multi-centered, nonblinded, randomized controlled trial conducted between August 2022 and September 2024.

Bone defects caused by trauma, infection, or tumors present a major clinical challenge. Titanium (Ti) implants are widely used due to their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility; however, their high elastic modulus, low surface bioactivity, and susceptibility to infection hinder osseointegration and increase failure rates. There is an increasing demand for implants that can resist bacterial infection while promoting osseointegration.

Green lasers have a stronger effect on promoting osteoblast differentiation, which is critical for orthodontic tooth retention. This study investigated the impact of green laser photobiomodulation on orthodontic tooth retention in rats. A total of 100 male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups: Group A (control) and Group B (green laser irradiation).

Objective: Relapse after orthodontic treatment remains a crucial problem. Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) accelerate osteoblastogenesis and inhibit osteoclastogenesis. However, their effect on tooth movement during the retention phase of orthodontic treatment has not been studied.
