Article Abstract

The aims of the present study were to describe an impression method of "inner circular sealing area" and to evaluate the effect of the method on retention, aesthetics and comfort of complete dentures, which lack labial base for patients with maxillary protrusions. Three patients were subjected to the experiment, and two sets of complete maxillary dentures were made for each patient; the first set was made without labial base via an inner circular sealing area method (experimental group) and the second had an intact base that was made with conventional methods (control group). Retention force tests were implemented with a tensile strength assessment device to assess the retention and a visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the comfort between the two groups. Results showed larger retention force, better aesthetics and more comfort in the experimental group. The improved two-step impression method formed an inner circular sealing area that prevented damage to the peripheral border seal effect of the denture caused by incomplete bases and obtained better denture retention.

Introduction: A blinded survey in 81 dental practices, 84 medical practices, and 35 hospitals revealed that for conducting disinfecting surface cleaning and surface disinfection, instead of reusable clothes moistened on-site with disinfectant solution, either wipe dispenser systems for self-preparation or ready-to-use (RTU) wipes are being used. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine, i.e.

Sealing ability of the single-cone obturation technique with bioceramic sealer iRoot SP in oval root canals: an in vitro study.

BMC Oral Health

August 2025

Department of Operative Dentistry, Preventive Dentistry and Endodontics, School of Stomatology, The Affiliated Stomatology Hospital, Kunming Medical University, Kunming, 65000, China.

Background: The single-cone obturation technique with iRoot SP demonstrated strong filling capacity in circular root canals; however, its sealing ability in oval root canals remains underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the sealing performance of the single-cone obturation technique with iRoot SP in oval root canals, in comparison with warm vertical compaction obturation.

Methods: A total of 129 single-rooted teeth with oval canals were prepared using rotary instruments and randomly divided into three groups (n = 43 per group): warm vertical compaction obturation with AH Plus (WVC + AH Plus), warm vertical compaction obturation with iRoot SP (WVC + iRoot SP), and single-cone obturation with iRoot SP (SC + iRoot SP).

Laparoscopic total gastrectomy (LTG) still poses certain technical challenges today, especially in performing esophagojejunostomy during laparoscopic gastric resection, as this procedure demands high technical expertise and is considered difficult. Currently, digestive tract reconstruction methods after LTG involve two main types of anastomosis: circular stapler anastomosis and linear stapler anastomosis. Circular stapler anastomosis is considered the "gold standard" for esophagojejunostomy in open total gastrectomy.

Chemical Stability and Leaching Behavior of ECO EPDM in Acidic Fuel Cell-like Conditions.

Materials (Basel)

July 2025

Department of Materials and Manufacturing Engineering, Politehnica University of Timișoara, Mihai Viteazul Blv., 300222 Timisoara, Romania.

This study investigates the chemical stability and leaching behavior of two environmentally sustainable EPDM elastomers filled with circular carbon black (CCB) and recycled carbon black (RCB) when exposed to acidic, fuel cell-like environments. Accelerated aging tests were conducted in sulfuric acid solutions of varying concentrations (1 M, 0.1 M, and 0.
