Purpose: This study aims to compare the occlusal trueness and precision of teeth manufactured using two modern digital milling processes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 38 complete dentures (CDs) were fabricated and analyzed. CDs in Group 1 (monolithic) (n = 19) were produced using a monolithic bicolor resin disk, whereas in Group 2 (oversize) (n = 19) were fabricated using the oversize process, which involves two separate resin disks of different colors.

Background: Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a strain that produces Shiga toxin, which can cause infections ranging from mild to severe in humans. Cattle are a primary reservoir for the bacteria, and the contaminated milk and milk products can transmit these bacteria to humans, posing a risk of infection. The present study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of E.

Statement Of Problem: Several 3-dimensionally (3D) printed denture base resin materials designed for removable dentures and maxillofacial prostheses have recently been introduced, but studies on their properties are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to assess the degree of conversion (DC%), Vickers hardness (VHN), crosslinking density (CD), tensile strength (TS), surface roughness (SR), and wettability (W) of two 3D printed denture base materials in comparison with a heat-polymerized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) control.
Material And Methods: Disk- (Ø15×3 mm) and dumbbell-shaped (International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 527-1 standard) specimens of two 3D printed denture base materials (V Print-dentbase) and (Optiprint Laviva) were printed, and PMMA specimens (Acrypol fast) were used as the control.

: Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health concern that requires multiple strategies to be tackled effectively. While the discovery of new antimicrobial molecules is essential, the repurposing of existing compounds also plays a significant role. Standard methods to evaluate antimicrobial efficacy, regulated by the Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) and the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), such as the determination of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), are available.

Background/objectives: The rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant in food and clinical environments necessitates new, clean-label antimicrobials. This study assessed eight Greek native essential oils-oregano, thyme, dittany, rosemary, peppermint, lavender, cistus and helichrysum-for activity against six genetically and phenotypically diverse strains (reference, , , -1, and O157:H7). We aimed to identify oils with broad-spectrum efficacy and clarify the chemical constituents responsible.
