Article Abstract
Statement Of Problem: Controversy exists concerning the preferred type of final restoration of endodontically treated molars regarding their resistance to fracture under occlusal load.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the resistance to fracture of endodontically treated molars with various degrees of tooth structure loss restored with amalgam under simulated occlusal load.
Material And Methods: . The study teeth consisted of 90 noncarious, nonrestored molars stored in physiological saline solution. The teeth were endodontically treated and randomly divided into 9 experimental groups of 10 specimens each with various degrees of tooth loss, ranging from a conservative endodontic access to removal of all cusps. All teeth were restored with a standardized technique to their original contour with amalgam. Each specimen was mounted onto a specialized jig for loading at the central fossa at a 30-degree angle to the long tooth axis. The resistance to fracture, under continuous compressive force at a cross-head speed of 2 mm/minute, was applied by a universal testing machine and was recorded. One-way analysis of variance with Scheffé contrast was used to statistically compare the differences between the groups at significance level P<.05.
Results: One-way analysis of variance showed that the group with a conservative endodontic access (1137.6 +/- 311.6 N) and the group with removal of all cusps (1261.4 +/- 195.1 N) presented a significantly higher resistance to fracture when compared with the other groups (P<.05). There was no significant difference in resistance to fracture under the simulated load between the other 7 groups, which ranged from 655.8 +/- 229.4 to 906.3 +/- 168.1 N (P>.05).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, the endodontically treated molars with a conservative endodontic access or after removal of all cusps that were restored to their original contour with amalgam presented the highest resistance to fracture under a simulated occlusal load.

Physical Resilience After Hip Fracture: Unpacking the Roles of Resistance and Recovery.

Background: Physical resilience-the ability to withstand, recover, or adapt after a stressor-is critical in older adults facing acute insults. We conceptualize physical resilience to comprise two distinct but related components: resistance (immediate physiological response to the stressor) and recovery (subsequent health changes). These two components were used to evaluate how individuals respond to hip fracture-a common and severe geriatric stressor.

Diabetes and osteoporosis are common chronic diseases worldwide, and there is a complex pathological relationship between the two. Due to hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), diabetic patients often show a higher risk of fractures. At the same time, chronic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress caused by diabetes also play an important role in the occurrence of osteoporosis, disrupting the balance of bone remodeling.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the inherent and after cyclic loading fracture strength of implant-supported cantilevered fixed prostheses fabricated from recently introduced additively manufactured (AM) and subtractively manufactured (SM) materials, considering variations in prosthesis height.
Materials And Methods: Three cylinder-shaped master files (20 mm long and 11 mm wide) with varying heights (7, 11, and 15 mm) and a titanium-base (Ti-base) abutment space were designed. These designs were used to fabricate a total of 144 specimens with two AM resins indicated for definitive use (Crowntec; AM-CT and Flexcera Smile Ultra+; AM-FS), one high-impact polymer composite (breCAM.

Background: Surgical site infection (SSI) after surgery can cause serious sequelae in patients with tibial plateau fractures. This study aims to report the incidence and characteristics of SSI and to investigate the risk factors of SSI in adult patients with closed tibial plateau fracture, especially the relationship between SSI and preoperative hypoalbuminemia.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of adult patients with closed tibial plateau fracture who were treated at our institution from January 2016 to December 2022.
