Article Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine how physical and morphological properties affect the fracture resistance of roots, and which criteria are important for root specimen standardization in fracture resistance studies.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-five freshly extracted human canine teeth were selected. Crowns were sectioned from the cement-enamel junction and the root lengths were set at 16 mm. Then they were prepared up to ProTaper F3 file. Each root was numbered and data were obtained by measuring mesiodistal and buccolingual dimensions, volume, weight, and density. Tests for fracture strength were performed using an Instron Testing Machine (Instron Corp. MA, USA). The force was applied axially, angled at 45 degrees with a constant speed of 1 mm/min. For each sample, the force at the time of fracture was recorded in Newtons. Results were evaluated statistically using linear regression analysis.
Results: Volume and weight of the roots had more effect than mesiodistal or buccolingual dimensions on root fracture resistance.
Conclusions: In root fracture resistance studies, volume or weight of the roots must be standardized when distributing roots to groups.

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.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) remains a formidable clinical challenge due to its high relapse rate and resistance to existing therapies. Estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERRγ), a nuclear receptor critical for cellular energy metabolism, has been implicated in various cancers. but its role in MM remains unclear.

We report a synthetic tetrahedral DNA nanocarrier (TDN) for treating bone defects and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) infection using in vitro studies. We successfully synthesized TDNs and demonstrated their excellent cytocompatibility with blood cells and immune cells. Zoledronic acid-loaded TDN displayed increased efficacy compared to free drugs in regulating bone remodeling, while vancomycin-loaded TDN showed an increased antibacterial effect against MRSA.

Autosomal Dominant Osteopetrosis (ADO) is a rare, osteosclerotic disorder usually caused by missense variants in the CLCN7 gene, resulting in impaired osteoclastic bone resorption. Penetrance is incomplete and disease severity varies widely, even among relatives within the same family. Although ADO can cause visual loss, osteonecrosis, osteomyelitis, and bone marrow failure, the most common complication of ADO is fracture.
