Aims: To compare the accuracy of marginal fit of CAD-CAM endocrown with two different preparation forms, i.e., endocrown with ferrule and endocrown without ferrule.
Settings And Design: Various studies have opined on the impact of preparation form on the marginal fit of endocrown, but studies on the effect on the marginal fit of digitally milled endocrown with and without ferrule are sparse.
Materials And Methods: Total of 30 typodont were sectioned 3 mm above the cemento-enamel junction, and central cavity was prepared to depict a severely destructed tooth. The typodonts were divided into two groups: Group 1 contained specimens for endocrown without ferrule (WoF); Group 2 contained specimens for endocrown with ferrule (WF). The typodonts were prepared based on standard preparation. The specimens were then scanned using intraoral scanner, and the stereolithography (STL) was generated. Endocrowns were designed in the Exocad software using a digital library. The STL file format is translated into millable data file format (CNC- Computer numerical control) in the inLAB MC X5 Milling machine. The marginal fit of endocrowns was then assessed in the stereomicroscope.
Statistical Analysis: The data was analysed with a digital image analyser. The result was generated using a two-way ANOVA test. The significance level was set at P ≤ 0.05.
Results: In the present study, the marginal fit of WoF showed a superior marginal fit than WF. A statistically significant difference was seen in the marginal fit of two endocrowns, with a higher marginal discrepancy observed in the endocrown with the ferrule. The P value for the difference in the means of the marginal gap without and with ferrule (-13.42) is zero. Maximum marginal gap of 96 micron is observed for with ferrule (WF) design at location B. Minimum marginal gap of 29 micron is observed for without ferrule (WoF) at location D.
Conclusions: Endocrown without a ferrule can provide a better marginal fit and can contribute to the long-term survival of restoration.

Fracture resistance and marginal fit of three different overlay designs using advanced zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate CAD/CAM material.

Department of Conservative Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.
Background: Conservative dentistry introduced modern restoration designs, contributing to the greater use of partial-coverage ceramic restorations. New strong bondable ceramic materials made fabricating partial coverage ceramic restorations easier to restore the badly destructed teeth.
Aim Of The Study: This study investigated the impact of three distinct overlay preparation designs on the marginal fit (both before and after thermal aging) and the fracture resistance of overlay restorations fabricated using advanced zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate (ALD) CAD/CAM glass-ceramic blocks.
Laparoscopic and Endoscopic cooperative surgery as Rescue-treatment for Advanced gastric Cancer in patients Unfit for Surgery (LE-RACUS): protocol for a feasibility study.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
January 2025
Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology (CLINTEC), Division of Surgery and Oncology, Karolinska Institutet, Hälsovägen 13, 141 57, Huddinge, Stockholm, Sweden.
Background: The standard treatment for advanced gastric cancer without metastasis is gastrectomy in combination with chemotherapy. Some patients cannot tolerate such treatment because of old age or comorbidities. In this study, we want to test the feasibility of Laparoscopic and Endoscopic Cooperative Surgery (LECS) as a less invasive treatment option.

Department of Basic Medicine, Sichuan Vocational College of Health and Rehabilitation, Zigong, Sichuan, China.
Background: Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for rectal cancer improves surgical outcomes and reduces recurrence but can cause low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), affecting quality of life. This study aims to predict the risk of LARS in male patients with mid-low rectal cancer after laparoscopic total mesorectal excision (TME).
Methods: Clinical data from 203 male patients with mid-low rectal cancer who underwent neoadjuvant therapy and laparoscopic resection were collected.
