Postoperative bowel dysfunction following restorative proctectomy, commonly referred to as Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS), is a common long term sequela of rectal cancer treatment. While many of the established risk factors for LARS are non-m...
Background: Using Platetet-Rich Plasma (PRP) in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) has been suggested to improve patient outcomes. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of PRP administration on pain, range of motion (ROM) resto...
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the stress distribution on endodontically treated anterior teeth restored using different restorative materials and different post lengths versus endocrowns employing finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: An e...
Introduction: Currently, there is little clinical evidence to support the medium- and long-term survival and clinical performance of ultraconservative approaches using adhesive restorations in full-mouth restorations. The aim of this case series stud...
The surface properties of composite resin restorative materials are critical for the esthetics and longevity of restorations. This in vitro study evaluated the microhardness change and surface roughness change in four resin composites recommended for...
Unacceptable sagittal alignment and cement leakage are major concerns of percutaneous vertebroplasty when treating patients with painful vertebral osteoporotic compression fractures. To maintain the restored vertebral height and reduce the reliance o...
The purpose of this systematic review was to analyze studies, identify the existence of golden proportion between the perceived widths of the maxillary anterior teeth among the different geographical populations, and evaluate the range of dental prop...
Aim: This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the adhesive performance of zirconia and lithium disilicate Maryland cantilever restorations on prepared and non-prepared anterior abutment teeth. While conventional clinical protocols involve abutment tooth...
