Article Abstract

Purpose: This systematic review and meta- analysis aimed to evaluate the occlusion variations in single posterior implant supported fixed prostheses.

Materials And Methods: The preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed and the study was registered in the international prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) platform (CRD42024501657). A systematic search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases published until December 2024 was done by 2 independent reviewers, without restriction of language or publication date. A meta-analysis was performed using the R version 4.0.2, considering the significance level < .05. Quality assessments were performed using the ROBINS-I tool.

Results: Five studies were included, totaling 150 participants and 146 posterior single implant-supported fixed prostheses evaluated over time. The meta-analyses were performed with different follow-up months to evaluate the means in percentage the occlusal variations: 0,5 months (5,91%); 3 months (7,70%); 6 months (8,29%); 12 months (13,01%); 24 months (14,31%); 36 months (19,41%). Significant difference ( < .05) was presented from 12 months of follow-up.

Conclusion: Implant-supported prostheses present occlusal variations after installation, with a progressive increase over time, being significant after 12 months of installation. Therefore, careful long-term monitoring of occlusion is essential, with occlusal adjustments being considered when necessary.

Background: Optimal oral care is essential in preventing non-ventilator hospital-associated pneumonia and enhancing patient comfort. However, nurses' clinical oral care practices for patients not on mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit are both underreported and understudied.

Aim: To explore intensive care nurses' clinical oral care practices for patients not on mechanical ventilation in intensive care units.

Objective: To describe the use of transcorneal iris photocoagulation (TCIP) to improve intraocular visualization of intended incision lines, reduce hemorrhage, and facilitate excision of pigmented iridal tumors in four canine eyes and one feline eye.

Materials And Methods: A Rhodesian Ridgeback (treated bilaterally), a German Shepherd, a Labrador Retriever, and a Scottish Fold underwent sector iridectomy due to rapidly growing, pigmented, raised, iridal tumors affecting 1/4-1/3 of the iris circumference (3- to 4-clock hours). A diode laser was used to delineate the intended sector iridectomy incision lines, approximately 1-2 mm away from the grossly visible tumor margins, with the aim of improving visualization to achieve tumor-free margins and reduce tissue handling/trauma.

Department of Medicine (Infectious Disease), University of Connecticut Health Center, Boston University Medical Center, Falmouth Hospital, Falmouth, MA, USA.

A total of 101 patients with a clinical picture of persisting Lyme disease seen at the University of Connecticut Health Center and Boston Medical Center were recruited for the study to determine whether persistent infection is the likely cause. Brain SPECT imaging and responses to antibiotic treatments were recorded. Patients had more than 5 symptoms lasting more than 6 months.
