AI Article Synopsis

  • The study aimed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of stainless steel crowns (SSCs) and zirconia crowns for restoring primary posterior teeth in children aged 3-9 years.
  • A total of 40 treated teeth were divided into two groups, and various factors such as crown retention, TMJ issues, gingival response, plaque accumulation, and tooth wear were assessed over 1 and 3 months.
  • Results indicated that SSCs outperformed zirconia crowns in most areas measured, solidifying their status as the preferred option for full coverage restorations in primary molars.

Article Abstract

Aim: The objective of this clinical trial was to evaluate and compare two full-coronal restoration [stainless steel crowns (SSCs) and zirconia crown] in carious primary posterior teeth.

Materials And Methods: Forty endodontically treated primary teeth in children within the age-group of 3-9 years were selected and divided into two equal groups (20 SSCs and 20 zirconia crown). The two crowns were evaluated for retentivity of crown, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problem, gingival response, plaque accumulation, and tooth wear in opposing teeth after 1 and 3 month follow-up.

Results: Both the crowns showed 100% results regarding TMJ problems, but SSCs performed better in terms of retention of crown, gingival response, plaque accumulation, and tooth wear in opposing teeth. The statistics showed significant result by using Mann-Whitney test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test.

Conclusion: Stainless steel crowns performed better among both the full-coronal restoration for posterior primary teeth.

Clinical Significance: Stainless steel crowns remain "Gold Standard", for posterior full coverage restorations in primary molars as compared to zirconia crowns.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the marginal accuracy of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and zirconia copings fabricated using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, and to assess the impact of their material properties on accuracy when produced with a 4-axis milling system under controlled conditions.

Settings And Design: The study employed an in vitro design with a stainless steel die model featuring a 6 mm axial wall height, a 6-degree total occlusal convergence, and a radial shoulder finish line.

Materials And Methods: Thirty stone dies were created from silicone impressions of the metal die and poured using type-IV dental stone.

Hyperspectral imaging, a rapidly evolving field, has witnessed the ascendancy of deep learning techniques, supplanting classical feature extraction and classification methods in various applications. However, many researchers employ arbitrary architectures for hyperspectral image processing, often without rigorous analysis of the interplay between spectral and spatial information. This oversight neglects the implications of combining these two modalities on model performance, consumption, and inference time.

A previous companion paper introduced a current pathways model that represents the electrical coupling between the Hall effect thruster (HET) and the ground-based vacuum test facility operational environment. In this work, we operated a 7-kW class HET at 4.5 kW, 15 A and 6 kW, 20 A on krypton to quantify aspects of the current pathways model to characterize the role metal vacuum chambers play in the thruster's discharge circuit as a function of discharge current.

Multifunctional ortho-quinones are required for the formation of thiol-catechol-connectivities (TCC) but can be delicate to handle. We present the electrochemical oxidation of the dipeptide DiDOPA, achieving up to 92% conversion efficiency of the catechols to ortho-quinones. Graphite and stainless steel could be employed as cost-efficient electrodes.
