E-max is a more aesthetic material than traditional zirconia. In addition, the bond strength of traditional zirconia with adhesive cements is lower. There are not enough studies on how the aesthetic values and bond strength of 5-YZP, the new generation zirconia, compare to e-max and traditional zirconia. Can 5-YZP be an alternative to e-max in terms of aesthetics and bond strength? ⋯ 5Y-PZ has a TP intermediate to those of 3Y-TZP and lithium disilicate. Long-term bond strength of 3Y-TZP and 5Y-ZP were similar to those of lithium disilicate. To be an alternative to glass ceramics in the anterior region, translucency and bond strength values need to be improved.

Gastric acid, which is among erosive substances, gradually rises to the mouth in individuals with reflux and bulimia nervosa disorders, and this causes various effects on dental restorations. ⋯ According to the data obtained, it was concluded that exposure to gastric acid affects the hardness and flexural strength properties of dental restorative ceramic materials.

Hemophilic arthropathy frequently results in musculoskeletal adjustments that impair functional capacity. ⋯ Kinesiologic taping was associated with physical improvement in hemophilia patients; however, also kinesiologic taping led to significant improvement in VAS scores.

Implant-supported overdentures are well-known and widely accepted treatment modality to increase retention which is a crucial factor for determining patient satisfaction. The placement of two implants in the anterior region can be selected as a first-line treatment in patients with the atrophic mandibular ridge. ⋯ The results showed that the insertion of different diameters of CFR-PEEK implants led to low and homogenous stress distribution all around the implant-bone interface and stresses transferred directly to the condylar neck areas. Therefore, it was observed that CRF-PEEK implants did not change the basic behavior of the mandibula in response to frontal stresses.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Comparison of the patients with diabetes mellitus using either insulin or oral antidiabetic drug in terms of difficult laryngoscopy: A randomized controlled study.
We aimed to evaluate the differences in the difficult laryngoscopy as a general anesthetic component in patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) using either insulin or oral antidiabetic drug (OADD). ⋯ Difficult laryngoscopy was more common in DM patients. Moreover, in patients with DM using insulin, VL use was more often and intubation duration was longer than in patients with DM using OADD.
