In in vitro studies, it is desirable that the storage solutions in which dental samples kept between extraction and experiment should prevent dehydration and have antimicrobial properties. However, it should be taken into consideration that these solutions may have some effects that directly change test results on physical and mechanical properties of laboratory samples. ⋯ Storage solutions used for disinfection and to prevent dehydration may have negative effects on dentin moisture and bond strength.

The esthetic expectations of patients are increasing by the day. That is why it is important to minimize the color changes in the oral cavity in both the temporary and permanent restorations. ⋯ The most significant color change in the inter-material evaluation was observed in chemically polymerized polymethyl methacrylate. In the evaluation between beverages, the highest color change was found in sugared coffee, and the lesser color change was observed in polished samples.

It is suggested that stress related to infertility causes marriage conflicts and decreases in the frequency of sexual intercourse. ⋯ These findings suggest that the diagnosis of infertility is an important factor in assessing the differences in the sexual satisfaction of women. In infertility counseling, health professionals must explain the gender differences. Also, infertile couples must encourage to share each other's feelings and this may help couples to cope with the communication problems they may experience.

Comparison of post-mortem vitreous fluid and blood glucose levels in diabetes-induced rabbit models.
Diabetes is a common systemic disease in the world. Acute complications of diabetes may cause sudden unexpected deaths. Analysis done in vitreous fluid which is more protected and less contaminated by bacteria comparing to blood will produce more accurate results. ⋯ It can be clearly seen that vitreous fluid samples should be taken in judicial cases with sudden unexpected deaths like diabetes. This will contribute to identification cause of death.

Localized infection of the extraction socket can compromise bone quality and quantity within the socket and bone support for the adjacent dentition. These events can preclude immediate rehabilitative interventions, such as implant placement, and increase the technical sensitivity of guided bone regeneration procedures for successful tissue and bone gain. The use of local scaffolds containing effective antimicrobial agents may suppress local infection and facilitate the regenerative process related to the introduced bone graft particles and barrier collagen membrane. In this case report, pre-medicated collagen sponges containing chlorhexidine and metronidazole were used in conjunction with a bone graft and collagen membrane for guided tissue and bone regeneration, which was followed by delayed implant placement with 2 years of follow-up evaluations.
