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.

The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the fracture strength and cuspal deflection of endodontically treated premolars restored using different composite resins along with or without fiber post application. ⋯ Endodontically treated teeth restored with fiber post and bulk-fill or conventional composite resins demonstrated fracture strength values similar to intact teeth.

Sharp and penetrating object injuries (SPOIs) are seen frequently in forensic medicine practice. In this study, we aimed to retrospectively investigate cases with SPOIs. ⋯ Considering that stab injuries are more frequent in the lower age groups, we believe that such injuries could be reduced by increasing training programs for young people.

To study the role of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). ⋯ HIF-1α was up-regulated in DN patients, which might give clinical basis to the role of HIF-1α in the development of DN.
