Restoration’s thickness and bonding tooth substrate are determining factors in minimally invasive adhesive dentistry
(Japan Prosthodontic Society, 2021)
Purpose: To explore fracture strength and failure behaviour of minimally invasive CAD-CAM composite resin overlay restorations. Methods: Eighty bi- and tri-layer cylindrical overlay model including the ...
COVID-19: making the best out of a forced transition to online medical teaching. A mixed methods study
(Springer, 2021)
Introduction the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in a decreed confinement in our country from March until the end of term in June 2020. This forced a transition exclusively to distance learning. The aim of ...
Effect of an unsupervised exercises-based athletics injury prevention programme on injury complaints leading to participation restriction in athletics: a cluster-randomised controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Objective: To test the efficacy of the Athletics Injury Prevention Programme (AIPP) to reduce the percentage of athletes presenting at least one injury complaint leading to participation restriction ...
Clinical significance of indeterminate quantiFERON-TB Gold plus assay results in hospitalized COVID-19 patients with severe hyperinflammatory syndrome
(MDPI, 2021)
Performance of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-Plus) assay could be affected by conditions of immune dysregulation. Little is known about the reliability of QTF-Plus in COVID-19 patients. Our aim was ...
Comparison of zirconia degradation in dental implants and femoral balls: an X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation study
(Springer Nature, 2021)
Background: New tetragonal zirconia polycrystal dental implants stabilized with yttria (Y-TZP) have appeared in the implantology market in the form of single piece or two-piece zircona implant system. ...
LoxTnSeq: random transposon insertions combined with cre/lox recombination and counterselection to generate large random genome reductions
(John Wiley & Sons, 2021)
The removal of unwanted genetic material is a key aspect in many synthetic biology efforts and often requires preliminary knowledge of which genomic regions are dispensable. Typically, these efforts are ...
