The objective was to evaluate the effect of luting agents and the preparation design on the internal fit of zirconia restorations. Sixty dies were prepared and divided in occlusal convergence angle of 6° (OC6) and 12° (OC12). CAD/CAM zirconia copings were fabricated (Lava All-Ceramic System). A zinc phosphate cement (ZPC); a glass ionomer cement (GIC); and a resin cement (RC) were studied. Specimens were sectioned and coping/die discrepancies were evaluated through Stereoscopic Microscopy. A closer fit was observed in OC12 when compared to OC6 ( < 0.001). For OC6 no significant differences were observed in between ZPC, GIC, and RC ( > 0.05). For OC12, a significantly closer fit was recorded on the ZPC subgroup when compared to the GIC subgroup ( < 0.001). Preparations of 12 degrees demonstrated a closer internal fit when compared to 6 degrees. Preparations of 12 degrees achieved better internal fit values with ZPC (Fortex) followed by RC (RelyX Unicem), and GIC (Ketac Cem). No differences were found when comparing different luting agents over 6° degrees preparations.

Imaging-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy (PCNB) is currently the most common technique for the investigation of potentially malignant bone lesions. It allows precise needle placement and better visual guidance, leading to improved diagnostic accuracy. Needle tract seeding (NTS) is a rare complication of biopsies in general, and its true incidence remains unknown.

Objectives: This article compared the accuracy, reproducibility, and gap of crowns resulting from variations in print angulation of three-dimensional (3D)-printed VarseoSmile Crown (VS) and milled resin-ceramic hybrid materials (Cerasmart 270, CS, and Enamic, E).
Materials And Methods: A total of 60 specimens, consisting of VS printed at four different angulations (30, 45, 60, and 90 degrees), along with CS and E were investigated. External and internal accuracy and reproducibility were measured with the 3D deviation analysis.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) causes increasing cognitive and functional impairments, and both are therefore important outcome measures for intervention studies. Cognition and everyday functioning are often used interchangeably, yet the extent of their relationship is still unclear. We therefore aim to assess the relationship between different cognitive domains and everyday functioning across the AD spectrum.

The aim of this study was to adapt the Children Participation Questionnaire (CPQ) into Turkish culture and evaluate its psychometric properties in typically developing children aged 4-6 years. This study involved 235 typically developing children and 61 children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Parents completed the Turkish CPQ (CPQ-T) and demographic form.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is typically classified as prerenal, renal, or postrenal in etiology, with postrenal often referring to obstructive causes. However, certain uncommon conditions, such as intraperitoneal urinary leaks, may not fit clearly into these categories. In patients with a recent history of pelvic procedure, a complication such as intraperitoneal urinary leak can mimic AKI due to urine reabsorption across the peritoneum.
