Repair of a failed amalgam or composite resin (CR) restoration has been extremely studied and proposed as a routine clinical treatment option; however, repair potential of glass ionomer-based restorative materials was not studied sufficiently in the literature. ⋯ Repair of restorative GH with CR appears as a preferred option to improve the bond strength.

Many factors are known to affect the functional outcomes of the acetabular surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of incision preferences and number of incision on scores and clinical functional outcomes. ⋯ Incision type and number of incisions must be determined based on the fracture type and fracture localization for better functional outcomes. The factors that have the most effects on the functional outcomes are the type and the localization. In associated fractures, performing multiple incisions reduces the time for full weight bearing and enables patients to return to their daily routine early but have no effect on the functional outcomes.

Comparative Study
Mechanical performance of a newly developed glass hybrid restorative in the restoration of large MO Class 2 cavities.
To evaluate the mechanical properties of a glass hybrid (GH) restorative system (EQUIA Forte/GC) and compare it with a microhybrid composite (G-aenial Posterior/GC) by compressive strength (CS) and fracture resistance (FR) tests. ⋯ The GH exhibited sufficient mechanical properties as a restorative material, and could be preferred for extensive caries lesions on posterior teeth.

Childhood overweight/obesity burden is on the rise worldwide. Obesity affects virtually all organs. In the kidney, glomerular hyperfiltration that manifests as elevated glomerular filtration rate is a frequent manifestation in obesity. This adaptive renal manifestation to excess metabolic demand on the kidney, in children, has been studied mainly in the severely obese and is uncertain if it is present in less severe forms of excessive weight. In addition, glomerular hyperfiltration has been reported to be associated with high levels of the indicators of cardiometabolic risk, and these latter finding are solely from adult studies. ⋯ Glomerular hyperfiltration is not limited to morbidly obese children as the burden is also high in overweight and less severely obese adolescents.

The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal and internal fit of Co-Cr and titanium ceramic crowns fabricated with 2 different techniques: CAD/CAM milling and traditional casting (TC). ⋯ All groups performed similar marginal adaptation. The cement film thickness at axio-occlusal angle point and occlusal region were higher for MC crowns.
