Time to Healing in Displaced Pediatric Diaphyseal Forearm Fractures Treated With Bioabsorbable Compared to Titanium Intramedullary Nails

This study looks at children with forearm fractures that need surgery. The standard treatment uses titanium nails, which usually need to be removed in a second operation later. This study compares titanium nails with bioabsorbable nails, which gradually dissolve in the body and may help some children avoid another operation. The study will compare how quickly the fractures heal on X-ray, and also look at complications, recovery, function, and the family's experience. Children who need surgery will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments so the comparison is fair. Hypothesis: The researchers expect that fractures treated with bioabsorbable nails will heal almost as quickly as fractures treated with titanium nails, while reducing the need for later implant removal surgery.

BioHPP and Lithium Disilicate Onlay Restorations: Clinical Evaluation

In this study, clinical data obtained from the in vivo evaluation of onlay restorations fabricated with CAD/CAM using modified PEEK (BioHPP Shade 2, Bredent group GmbH \& Co. KG, Senden, Germany) and lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) ceramic materials will be analyzed, and the clinical outcomes will be assessed to investigate the clinical applicability of BioHPP. The clinical success of the restorations will be evaluated using established clinical evaluation criteria, specifically the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria, focusing on parameters such as marginal adaptation, surface roughness, color match, anatomical form, and participant-reported outcomes. These restorations will be applied to molar teeth in the maxilla and mandible, provided that the teeth are vital and have no adjacent or opposing restorations. Only teeth meeting these inclusion criteria will be considered in the study.
