(1) External cervical resorption causes dental hard tissue destruction that may reduce the fracture resistance of affected teeth. By using a compressive strength test, this study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of teeth with simulated external cervical resorption cavities that have different three-dimensional classifications. (2) In total, 170 teeth with simulated external cervical resorptions were divided into 16 experimental groups (n = 10) and 1 control group (n = 10) based on the three-dimensional classification: 1Ap, 1Bp, 1Cp, 1Dp, 2Ap, 2Bp, 2Cp, 2Dp, 3Ap, 3Bp, 3Cp, 3Dp, 4Ap, 4Bp, 4Cp, 4Dp and a control group. Defects were restored with mineral trioxide aggregate. The fracture resistances of the samples were statistically analyzed using two-way repeated ANOVA and the Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons at a significance level of < 0.05. (3) The lowest resistance to fracture was observed in samples with vertical height level "4" and circumferential spread of "D" ( < 0.001). In the groups with circumferential spreads "B", "C" and "D", there were significant differences between the samples with vertical height levels "1", "2", "3" and "4" regarding fracture resistance ( < 0.001). (4) The circumferential spread and vertical height of the external cervical resorption influenced the fracture resistance of the affected teeth.

Press-Fit Bone-Anchored Prosthesis for Individuals with Transtibial Amputation.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech

Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

Polylactic acid (PLA) has garnered attention for use in interim dental restorations due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, low cost, ease of fabrication, and moderate strength. However, its performance under intraoral conditions, particularly under heat and moisture, remains underexplored. This study evaluated the mechanical properties of PLA interim crowns compared with those of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) and bisphenol crowns under simulated intraoral conditions with thermocycling.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance of long-span fixed provisional restorations fabricated using milling, three-dimensional (3D) printing, and conventional methods.
Materials And Methods: Sixty specimens were prepared, divided into four groups of 15 each, corresponding to four fabrication methods: computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled provisional resins, 3D-printed provisional resins, 3D-printed permanent resins, and conventional bis-acryl restorations reinforced with wire. The specimens underwent a three-point bending test using a universal testing machine to measure fracture resistance, quantified as maximum force (in Newtons).

Objective: To investigate the association between the cumulative exposure to triglyceride-glucose index (cumTyG index) and fragility fractures in the general population.
Methods: This prospective cohort study analyzed active and retired employees of Kailuan Group who participated in three consecutive health examinations in 2006, 2008 and 2010, and were followed up until 31st December 2022. The cohort comprised 55,824 participants who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were grouped using the cumTyG index quartiles.
Effectiveness of a New Device for Hand, Wrist, and Forearm Rehabilitation: Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Forearm, wrist, and hand impairments affect many individuals and impose a significant economic burden on health care systems. The FEPSim (flexion, extension, pronation, and supination) is designed for hand and wrist rehabilitation. It could become part of the standard care for upper extremity rehabilitation, aiming to improve range of motion, dexterity, and strength during therapeutic activities.
