Interaction between apical periodontitis and systemic disease (Review)
Int J Mol Med.2023 Jul;52(1):60.
doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2023.5263.

pathogenesis of various types of systemic disease. Therefore, apical
periodontitis might be associated with systemic disease ...

Determining primary stability for adhesively stabilized dental implants
ConclusionThe
adhesive cement show potential for offering primary implant stability
for different dental implant designs. In this study, the primary
parameters influencing the measured removal torque values were the
implant surface area and diameter. As the liquid cement prevents the use
of insertion torque, considering the relationship between insertion and
removal torque, removal torque can be considered a reliable surrogate
for primary implant stability for bench and pre-clinical settings.Clinical relevanceAt
present, the primary stability of dental implants is linked to the
quality of the host bone, the drill ...

Working by firelight, these diminutive cave explorers dug shallow graves, sometimes arranging bodies in fetal positions and placing a stone tool near a child’s hand. Some etched cave walls with crosshatches and others cooked small animals in what amounted to a subterranean funeral, more than 100,000 years before such behaviors ...
