Objective: To compare the translucency and contrast ratio of 13 different resin based restorative materials and to evaluate the effect of 2 different bleaching methods on the translucency and contrast ratio of these materials.
Methods: In this study, a total of 260 samples were prepared, 20 from each of 13 different dimethacrylate-based restorative materials. Then, each material group was divided into 4 subgroups. While two different bleaching methods (home and office) were applied to two of these groups, the other two groups were created as separate control groups for each bleaching group. After the bleaching process, Translucency Parameters (TP) and Contrast Ratio (CR) were calculated with a spectrophotometer. The data obtained were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc tests (p < 0.05).
Results: When the bleaching groups were compared in terms of the differences between the TP values in general, it was seen that the TP values decreased in all groups, but this decrease was least in Opalescence PF. In terms of materials, the greatest change in TP and CR values was seen in composite materials, while the least change was seen in hybrid CAD/CAM materials.
Conclusions: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the effect of bleaching agents on the translucency and contrast ratio of restorative materials depends on the material used and the bleaching method applied. Composite-based materials have been found to be more risky in terms of bleaching. For this reason, the clinician should take this into consideration, especially when performing office bleaching on teeth with restorations.

Rationale And Objectives: To evaluate and compare image quality of different energy levels of virtual monochromatic images (VMIs) using standard versus strong deep learning spectral reconstruction (DLSR) on dual-energy CT pulmonary angiogram (DECT-PA).
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was performed on 70 patients who underwent DECT-PA (15 PE present; 55 PE absent) scans. VMIs were reconstructed at different energy levels ranging from 35 to 200 keV using standard and strong levels with deep learning spectral reconstruction.

Poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP)-based in situ forming implants are liquid formulations that solidify through phase separation following injection into the body. Drug is dissolved or suspended in the final formulation liquid prior to injection. Depending on the polymers used, the depots formed can deliver drug over different periods of time.

Objectives: Photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) is expected to substantially improve and expand CT-imaging applicability due to its intrinsic spectral capabilities, increased spatial resolution, reduced electronic noise, and improved image contrast. The current study aim is to evaluate PCD-CT efficacy in characterizing bullets based on their dimensions, shape, and material composition.
Materials And Methods: This is an observational phantom study examining 11 unfired, intact bullets of various common calibers, placed in ballistic gelatin.
