The aim of this in vitro study is to compare the performance of digital and conventional methods in the manufacture of single copings in terms of the internal and marginal fit. Twenty-four prefabricated titanium Cone Morse Exact abutments of the lateral anatomical type were used to manufacture 24 lithium disilicate copings in the CAD-CAM Ceramill (n = 12) and heat-press (n = 12) systems. The copings were cemented using a self-adhesive resin cement (RelyX U-200; 3M ESPE) and then cut vertically. The cement line was photographed using an optical microscope at ×100 and ×200 magnification and then the internal and marginal regions were measured. The mean values of fits, for the CAD-CAM and heat-press techniques, respectively, were (μm): angular regions, 81.8 and 75.3; linear regions, 63.1 and 60.1; incisal regions, 171.1 and 114.7; marginal discrepancy, 74.1 and 75.2; and absolute marginal discrepancy, 99.5 and 96.2. MANOVA test showed that there is an effect of the techniques on the regions (p < .05). The effects of laboratories and the interaction between laboratories and techniques on the regions were not statistically significant (p > .05). The techniques evaluated presented clinically acceptable results for the marginal fit. However, the conventional method performed better for the internal fit. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Scientific evidence regarding the methods of making prosthesis can help the dental professional in decision-making. Digital and conventional methods is both good in the manufacture of single copings in terms of the internal and marginal fit.

This study was conducted to evaluate the use of 4-dimensional (4D) maximum intensity projection (4D-MIP) to compensate for the disadvantages of average intensity projection (AIP), which is used to determine the internal target volume (ITV) in lung tumors. A respiratory motion phantom with a simulated tumor was imaged using 4D computed tomography (4D-CT). AIP and 4D-MIP were generated based on 10 phases of 4D-CT, followed by contouring of the ITV and ITV; these were compared with the ITV contoured in 10 phases of 4D-CT (ITV).

Background: Mapping biopsy (MB) can evaluate superficial ductal spread (SDS) through the histopathological diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma, enabling the selection of an appropriate surgical procedure. This retrospective study evaluated the efficacy of MB using a novel sheath system in distal cholangiocarcinoma (dCCA) cases.

Methods: A total of 199 cholangiocarcinoma cases underwent preoperative diagnosis.

Background: Accurate classification of patient complaints is crucial for enhancing patient satisfaction management in health care settings. Traditional manual methods for categorizing complaints often lack efficiency and precision. Thus, there is a growing demand for advanced and automated approaches to streamline the classification process.

Purpose: The optimal lymphadenectomy approach for solid-dominant stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is controversial. We compared postlobectomy survival outcomes to elucidate.

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with solid-dominant stage I NSCLC between 2008 and 2015 were included and grouped according to the mode of lymphadenectomy.

Background: This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the effects of different cavity conditioners on internal adaptation (IA) of glass ionomer-based restorative materials applied to primary teeth.

Methods: 80 extracted primary second molar teeth were randomly assigned to four different cavity conditioner groups [10% polyacrylic acid, 20% polyacrylic acid, 17% ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), 35% phosphoric acid]. Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal surfaces and relevant cavity conditioners were applied, and the samples in each cavity conditioner group were randomly assigned to glass hybrid (GHR) or conventional glass ionomer restoratives (CGIR).
