Purpose: To compare the marginal and internal fit of monolithic zirconia (MZ) 3-unit fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated using two CAD/CAM workflows: full-chairside (FCH) and lab (LAB).

Materials And Methods: The right maxillary first premolar and first molar were prepared for MZ 3-unit FDPs on a typodont. CEREC Primescan digitized the typodont model 15 Omes. A total of 30 FDPs was fabricated using two processes: FCH (n = 15) and LAB (n = 15). FCH and LAB FDPs were designed using CEREC SW 4.5.1 and Exocad and milled using CEREC MC X and Zirkonzhan 600/V3, respectively. A fast-sintering protocol was used in both groups. A dual-scan technique was used to assess the cement space at the occlusal surface (OC), axial wall (AX), and margin (MA). Statistical analysis of the results was performed using univariate ANOVA with Scheff. post hoc test (a = .05).

Results: Measurements in the FCH and LAB groups were within the clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit. The fit of FCH FDPs at MA, AX, and OC was 77.50 ± 29.99 μm, 99.67 ± 21.58 μm, and 150.03 ± 30.78 μm, respectively. The fit of LAB FDPs at MA, AX, and OC was 100.27 ± 27.06 μm, 116.53 ± 17.90 μm, and 142.30 ± 19.00 μm, respectively. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant.

Conclusions: MZ 3-unit FDPs fabricated using FCH have clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit. This result verifies the ability of FCH workflow to fabricate MZ mulOunit FDPs in a single visit.

Background: Sperm DNA damage is associated with reduced male fertility after natural conception and intrauterine insemination. However, the impact on in vitro fertilization (IVF) and especially intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatments is still unclear. Few studies have focused on the intra-individual variation in DFI even though it may have an important role to play in terms of detection of thresholds and for misclassification rates.

Article Synopsis
  • Aging often leads to musculoskeletal issues and joint pain, affecting mobility and overall quality of life, especially in the elderly.
  • A clinical trial involving 33 participants with knee discomfort showed that fish cartilage hydrolysate (FCH) significantly improved pain and joint function, measured by various assessment tools.
  • FCH also exhibited anti-inflammatory effects by reducing harmful substances in cartilage cells, providing initial evidence for its potential benefits in treating knee pain.

Enhanced behavioral interventions are gaining increasing interest as innovative treatment strategies for major depressive disorder (MDD). In this study protocol, we propose to examine the synergistic effects of a self-administered home-treatment, encompassing transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) along with a video game based training of attentional control. The study is designed as a two-arm, double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled multi-center trial (ClinicalTrials.

Background: Complementary therapies are widely used in palliative care settings. Qualitative research found that people with advanced disease report a range of physical and psychological benefits from complementary therapies, however evidence of their effectiveness from clinical trials is inconclusive. This may be because trials are limited by use of inappropriate outcome measures.
