Purpose: To compare the adaptation of single metal-ceramic crowns (MCCs) fabricated with three different methods: lost-wax metal casting (LMC), milling of hard cobalt-chromium (HCC) blanks, and milling of soft presintered cobalt-chromium (SCC) blanks.
Materials And Methods: In this double-blind parallel randomized clinical trial, 60 single MCCs were fabricated using three different methods. Adaptation of the copings was evaluated radiographically, visually, and microscopically. Data were compared among the three groups using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by the Dunn post hoc test, one-way ANOVA, and paired t test (α = .05).
Results: Radiographic data showed that the frequency of crowns with no marginal discrepancy was significantly higher in the SCC group than the LMC group. Evaluation of marginal adaptation with an explorer revealed that crowns with excellent marginal adaptation had lower frequency in the LMC group than the HCC and SCC groups. In the silicone replica technique, the recorded data revealed no significant difference. Application of porcelain veneering did not affect the adaptation of the copings.
Conclusions: The SCC and HCC groups showed better clinical outcomes compared to the LMC group. However, all MCCs fabricated with the LMC method, milling of HCC blanks, and milling of SCC blanks had acceptable clinical adaptation. Int J Prosthodont 2023;36:581-587.

Adapting more sustainable materials like biopolymers to limit environmental pollution has resulted in significant advancements in various fields, particularly in biological science. The present study reports the fabrication and evaluation of the physicochemical properties of Achyranthes aspera leaves (AAL) extract loaded methylcellulose (MC)/chitosan (CS) bioactive films (MAC). FTIR, SEM and XRD results suggested that the AAL extract was compatible with the MC/CS blend and evenly dispersed throughout the MC/CS matrix.

The exploitation of multicomponent composites (MCCs) has become the main pathway for obtaining advanced microwave absorption materials (MAMs). Herein, a metal valence state modulation strategy is proposed to tune the electromagnetic (EM) parameters and improve microwave absorption performances. Core@shell hollow carbon microspheres@MoSe and hollow carbon microspheres@MoSe/MoO MCCs with various mixed-valence states content are well-designed and produced by a simple hydrothermal reaction or/and heat treatment process.

Objective: Teriparatide (TPTD) and abaloparatide (ABL) are two osteoanabolic drugs targeting parathyroid hormone (PTH)1R signalling. This study aimed to investigate the effects of TPTD and ABL on the adolescent mandibular growth.
Method: In total, 70 4-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 14 groups, treated with intermittent TPDT or ABL at various doses, accompanied by mandibular advancement (MA) or not.
Purpose: To compare the adaptation of single metal-ceramic crowns (MCCs) fabricated with three different methods: lost-wax metal casting (LMC), milling of hard cobalt-chromium (HCC) blanks, and milling of soft presintered cobalt-chromium (SCC) blanks.
