Abstract
The workshop "Drug Permeability - Best Practices for Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) Based Biowaivers" was held virtually on December 6, 2021, organized by the University of Maryland Center of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation (M-CERSI), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The workshop focused on the industrial, academic, and regulatory experiences in generating and evaluating permeability data, with the aim to further facilitate implementation of the BCS and efficient development of high-quality drug products globally. As the first international permeability workshop since the BCS based biowaivers was finalized as the ICH M9 guideline, the workshop included lectures, panel discussions, and breakout sessions. Lecture and panel discussion topics covered case studies at IND, NDA, and ANDA stages, typical deficiencies relating to permeability assessment supporting BCS biowaiver, types of evidence that are available to demonstrate high permeability, method suitability of a permeability assay, impact of excipients, importance of global acceptance of permeability methods, opportunities to expand the use of biowaivers (e.g. non-Caco-2 cell lines, totality-of-evidence approach to demonstrate high permeability) and future of permeability testing. Breakout sessions focused on 1) in vitro and in silico intestinal permeability methods; 2) potential excipient effects on permeability and; 3) use of label and literature data to designate permeability class.

Abstract
Report of clinical outcomes of 5 patients with Tourette syndrome treated with anteromedial globus pallidus deep brain stimulation. All patients showed improvement in tics over a median follow up period of 37.4 months. Improvement in psychiatric outcome measures are specifically noted with a reduction in medication burden from the time of surgery to the last follow up.
Introduction Although refractory Tourette Syndrome (TS) is rare, it poses great challenges in clinical practice. Co-morbid psychiatric symptoms often occur, negatively impacting quality of life. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting different brain structures seems effective for tics, but specific literature regarding response of psychiatric symptoms is more limited. This study aimed to assess the outcome of tics and non-tic related symptomatology in refractory TS treated with antero-medial globus pallidus interna (amGPi) DBS. Methods We included all patients with refractory TS (January 2013–August 2020) from the Brain Nerve Centre and Steve Biko Academic Hospital, Pretoria, South Africa, treated with bilateral amGPi DBS; retrospective baseline, early (up to 3 months) post-DBS follow-up assessment data, as well as prospective data from the latest follow-up (mean 37.4 months) were collected using standardised scoring tools and scales. Results Five patients were identified. Tics decreased by 63,9% (p = 0,002); quality of life improved by 39,8% (p = 0,015); self-injurious behaviour ceased; obsessive–compulsive symptoms resolved in all but one. The number of different chronic medications used more than halved. Transient stimulation-related adverse events occurred in four patients. Conclusion This study contributes to the data of the efficacy of amGPi-targeted DBS in refractory TS, showing improvement in quality of life and both tic- and non-tic-related symptomatology..

Abstract
As the number of patients implanted with deep brain stimulation systems increases, coexistence with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) poses questions about safety. We systematically reviewed the literature on coexisting DBS and CIED. Eighteen reports of 34 patients were included. Device-device interactions were reported in 6 patients. Sources of complications were extensively reviewed and cautious measures which could be considered as part of a standard checklist for careful consideration are suggested.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic stimulation of the thalamus is a surgical option in the management of intractable Holmes tremor. Patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) can encounter infection as a postoperative complication, necessitating explantation of the hardware. Some studies have reported on the technique and the resulting efficacy of therapeutic lesioning through implanted DBS leads before their explantation. CASE DESCRIPTION We report the case of a patient with Holmes tremor who had stable control of symptoms with DBS of the nucleus ventralis intermedius of the thalamus (VIM) but developed localized infection over the extension at the neck, followed by gradual loss of a therapeutic effect as the neurostimulator reached the end of its service life. Three courses of systemic antibiotic therapy failed to control the infection. After careful consideration, we decided to make a rescue lesion through the implanted lead in the right VIM before explanting the complete DBS hardware. The tremor was well controlled after the rescue lesion procedure, and the effect was sustained during a 2-year follow-up period. CONCLUSION This case and the previously discussed ones from the literature demonstrate that making a rescue lesion through the DBS lead can be the last plausible option in cases where the DBS system has to be explanted because of an infection and reimplantation is a remote possibility.

Abstract
Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment modality for psychiatric conditions. We present a case reviewing the longitudinal neuropsychological performance outcomes following bed nucleus of the stria terminalis-area (BNST) DBS in a patient with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The cognitive safety of DBS is well documented for various targets, however cognitive outcomes of BNST-area DBS have not been extensively reported for patients with TRD. Neuropsychological assessment was conducted pre- and post-DBS. Twelve months following DBS, augmented general cognitive performance was observed with significant changes in specific domains.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the establishment of a new center for deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a surgical treatment for Parkinson disease and the surgical outcomes, from 2014 to 2017 in Shiraz, Southern Iran. METHODS A new treatment program was established in Shiraz through a multidisciplinary team in 2014. Thirty-four patients underwent implantation of subthalamic nucleus (STN) electrodes during the last 3 years. Twenty-five patients fulfilled the minimum 6-month follow-up criteria. The baseline Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) was assessed 1 month before surgery in both off-medication and on-medication states by a movement disorder neurologist. To evaluate the outcomes, subscores of the UPDRS were assessed in all patients before surgery and at least 6 months after the operation. RESULTS All 25 patients had advanced Parkinson disease categorized as stage 3 or 4 using the Hoehn and Yahr scale. STN DBS resulted in a dramatic improvement in motor function of most patients. A reduction in dopaminergic medication dosage (average 60% reduction) was observed. The mean improvement was 40% in UPDRS II and 67% in UPDRS III. No surgical or hardware complications were observed. Stimulation-related adverse effects, including increased falling and worsening of speech, occurred in a few patients after surgery. Most of the patients experienced weight gain after surgery. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral STN DBS is a satisfactory and safe treatment for carefully selected patients with advanced Parkinson disease. According to the results, the procedure can be performed safely and with comparable results in developing countries around the world.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subthalamic nucleus (STN) stimulation is the treatment of choice for carefully chosen patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) and refractory motor fluctuations. We evaluated the value of intraoperative electrophysiology during STN deep brain stimulation (DBS) procedures in refining the anatomically-defined target. METHODS We determined the spatial distance between the anatomical and physiological targets along x, y and z axes in 50 patients with PD who underwent bilateral subthalamic nucleus DBS surgery. RESULTS The mean spatial distance between anatomical and functional targets was 1.84 ± 0.88 mm and the least distances in different methods were 0.66 mm [standard error (SE): 0.07], 1.07 mm (SE: 0.08) and 1.01 mm (SE: 0.08) on x, y and z axes, respectively, for the combined method. CONCLUSION The most physiologically-accurate anatomical targeting was achieved via a combination of multiple independent methods. There was a statistically significant difference between the anatomical and functional targets in all methods (even the combined) on the y coordinate, emphasizing the need for intra-operative electrophysiological monitoring to refine the anatomico-radiologically-defined target.

Abstract
Obesity has become a worldwide challenge with significant health and socioeconomic implications. One of the major implications is its impact on drug therapy. In order to gain a better understanding of this impact, we surveyed the regulatory guidances, the newly approved molecular entity drug products, and drug product labels in the Physician's Desk Reference. This review summarizes the findings of the survey along with the existing knowledge on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes associated with obesity.

Abstract
Binding interactions between dentin bonding primer monomers and dentinal collagen were studied by an analysis of their chemical functions and their spatial 3D alignment. A trial set of 12 monomers used as primers in dentin adhesives was characterized to assess them for binding to a complementary target. HipHop utility in the Catalyst software from Accelrys was used for the study. Ten hypotheses were generated by HipHop procedures involving (a) conformational generation using a poling technique to promote conformational variation, (b) extraction of functions to remodel ligands as function-based structures, and (c) identification of common patterns of functional alignment displayed by low energy conformations. The hypotheses, designated as pharmacaphores, were also scored and ranked. Analysis of pharmacaphore models through mapping of ligands revealed important differences between ligands. Top-ranked poses from direct docking simulations using type 1 collagen target were mapped in a rigid manner to the highest ranked pharmacophore model. The visual match observed in mapping and associated fit values suggest a strong correspondence between direct and indirect docking simulations. The results elegantly demonstrate that an indirect approach used to identify pharmacaphore models from adhesive ligands without a target may be a simple and viable approach to assess their intermolecular interactions with an intended target. Inexpensive indirect/direct virtual screening of hydrophilic monomer candidates may be a practical way to assess their initial promise for dentin primer use well before additional experimental evaluation of their priming/bonding efficacy. This is also of value in the search/design of new compounds for priming dentin.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the microleakage and tissue-adhesive interface morphology from Class V restorations using different systems of dentin adhesives. Class V cavities were prepared on buccal surfaces of 27 extracted caries-free molars and premolars. Teeth were randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) Prime & Bond NT, a 5th generation system using an initial step of total etch followed by a second step of application of a self bonding primer (2) Clearfil SE Bond, a 5th generation adhesive system employing two separate steps of self-etch priming and subsequent bonding (3) One-up Bond F, a 6th generation one step self-etching, self-priming and self-bonding adhesive. Microleakage and interface morphology of teeth restored with these adhesives and a composite resin were evaluated. Kruskal-Wallis Test (p = 0.05) was used to analyze the results. SEM analysis was used to relate interface morphology to microleakage. The mean and (SD) values of microleakage were: Prime and Bond NT: 0.15 (0.33), Clearfil SE Bond: 0.06 (0.17) and One-up Bond F: 2.96 (0.63). The mean microleakage for One-up Bond was significantly higher than for the other groups (p<0.05). Protruding tags in dentin channels were observed in Prime and Bond and Clearfil systems, but not in One-up Bond. The single step adhesive system, although more convenient for the clinician, uses a low viscosity formulation difficult to keep in place on cavity walls. It also tends to be too aggressive and hydrophilic to create an impermeable hybridized tissue-adhesive interfacial layer resistant to microleakage. Two-step adhesive systems, on the other hand, were retained on all segments of the cavosurface during application, and formed a hybridized interfacial layer resistant to microleakage.

Abstract
This study sought to assess by computer modeling the interactions between dentinal collagen and primer monomer ligands used to promote bonding of restorations to tooth. Modeling was carried out both by direct and indirect methods to probe interaction mechanisms. Ligands studied in this investigation conformed chemically to methacrylate phosphates of alkane diol, with changes in the number of methylene spacer groups. Increase in number of methylene groups in the series introduces increasing levels of ligand conformational freedom. An automatic docking program was used to analyze the effect of these changes on primer-collagen interactions in direct (target-based) modeling. The effect of limited modifications of amino acid residue sequences in structural variants of type 1 dentinal collagen was also assessed in this approach. The indirect (ligand-based) modeling used a pharmacaphore search to mimic primer binding to type 1 collagen using a common functional alignment algorithm. Docking energy, and the non-bonded and electrostatic contributions to it, showed statistically highly significant differences (p<0.0001) with ligand conformational freedom. But the effect of collagen composition differences was, although statistically significant (p<0.05), relatively small. Both target-based direct docking and ligand-based indirect modeling visualizations showed that conformations tended to align in a 3-D geometric pattern in bound states, and that the conformational flexibility of the ligands played a critical role in alignment. The results suggest that incorporation of spacer groups in primer monomers may modify dentin bonding to improve overall adhesion under optimum conditions.

OBJECTIVES Three different popular composite resin systems for dental restorative applications are microfilled, minifilled and midifilled types in which deformation under stress and recovery after stress removal may be strongly influenced by filler parameters and resin formulation. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate these differences in selected composite resins. MATERIALS Three composites, Clearfil (midifill), Charisma (minifill) and Durafill (microfill), were evaluated. Elastic, viscoelastic and viscous deformation of the composites under a constant stress and the subsequent recovery on removal of stress were measured. Dynamical mechanical properties of these materials were also characterized. RESULTS The mean values (and SD) of elastic, viscoelastic and viscous components of overall deformation (mm), respectively, under a constant stress of 45(5)KPa were as follows: Clearfil, 0.17(0.03), 0.06(0.02), 0.03(0.05); Charisma, 0.34(0.1), 0.09(0.04), 0.14(0.03); Durafill, 0.68(0.06), 0.14(0.03), 0.23(0.03) The results show that there are significant differences (P<0.0001) between the different composite resins in the elastic, viscoelastic and viscous segments of deformation. The microfilled system deformed significantly more than the minifilled, and the minifilled system more than the midifilled. Storage modulus values evaluated by dynamic mechanical analysis were also significantly different (P<0.0001). The observed differences were readily explained by the differences in the type and volume fraction of the filler content in the composites. CONCLUSIONS Differences in time dependent deformation and recovery as well as dynamic mechanical properties of dental composites were strongly influenced by filler parameter differences. The clinical performance of restorations may be strongly influenced by the observed differences.

Abstract
Early loading of dental implants after placement is believed to be a major cause for premature implant failure. If a transitional denture or partial denture is used during the healing period, occlusal forces may be transmitted to the submerged implant, leading to poorly differentiated growth of bone cells and/or potential inhibition of osseointegration at the bone-implant interface. The objective of this study was to develop an experimental model to measure the force transmission and to characterize the effect of selected loading conditions and relief methods on the forces transmitted to the implant. The loading conditions studied included unilateral and bilateral loading of the prosthesis. Forces were measured at two different relief conditions (relief with and without soft liner) and were compared against a control with no relief. The results show that fabrication of the prosthesis with a proper relief at the implant-denture junction can eliminate the submucosal force transmission to the implant on loading the denture both under unilateral and bilateral loading conditions. When a soft liner is used at the relief site, the transmitted force is small, but a finite value is reproducibly recorded. With no relief, the submucosal force transmission is high and may adversely affect the healing process or osseointegration. The experimental model is valuable in measuring and understanding the submucosal forces that are transmitted to the implant by loading the transitional prosthesis, and such measurement may assist in the proper design of the prosthesis for improved clinical durability and for other uses.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Microleakage is an important problem with direct filling restorations and an understanding of the factors that contribute to it is of critical importance. PURPOSE This study investigated the effect of thermal and occlusal load cycling, and limited cavity preparation on microleakage of compomer Class V restorations in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS Class V cavities were randomly prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces of 32 recently extracted molars and premolars and restored with Dyract compomer restorative system as per the manufacturer's directions. Teeth were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 treatment groups with 8 teeth in each group: (I) thermocycling only; (II) load cycling only; (III) both thermocycling and load cycling; and (IV) no treatment. All teeth were then immersed in 2% basic fuchsin solution for 24 hours. Dye penetration was measured linearly using color photographic prints. ANOVA, comparisons between means, and correlation were used to analyze the results. RESULTS Thermocycling and cavity preparation had a significant effect on microleakage, but load cycling did not. Occlusal margins leaked more than the gingival margins. CONCLUSION Class V restorations demonstrated increased microleakage under the conditions of thermal cycling and nonretentive cavity design. More microleakage occurred at occlusal margins than at gingival margins. The effect of load cycling is complicated by considerations of the types of stresses applied and the restorative material response to such stresses.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The selection of shade of composites for restorative applications may have a significant effect on color degradation through environmental exposure. PURPOSE This study characterized the color changes in composites as a function of shade through environmental effects such as ultraviolet light exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS Five shades of two composites were subjected to ultraviolet light exposure at 37 degrees C for 24 hours after initial storage for 24 hours in distilled water at 37 degrees C. The lightness and chromaticity values of color were measured both before and after ultraviolet light exposure with a Minolta Chromameter. The total color change as well as changes in the lightness and chromaticity values were measured in the CIE L*a*b* scale and analyzed to monitor color degradation, if any. RESULTS Color degradation was a significant function of shade and occurred primarily as an increase in yellowness. Color changes increased with the lightness of the shade in both composite systems. CONCLUSION The lighter shades of composites were likely to be subject to higher color degradation through environmental effects of ultraviolet light exposure.

Abstract
It is necessary to visualize and reconstruct tissue anatomic surfaces accurately for a variety of oral rehabilitation applications such as surface wear characterization and automated fabrication of dental restorations, accuracy of reproduction of impression and die materials, etc. In this investigation, a 3-D digitization and computer-graphic system was developed for surface characterization. The hardware consists of a profiler assembly for digitization in an MTS biomechanical test system with an artificial mouth, an IBM PS/2 computer model 70 for data processing and a Hewlett-Packard laser printer for hardcopy outputs. The software used includes a commercially available Surfer 3-D graphics package, a public domain data-fitting alignment software and an inhouse Pascal program for intercommunication plus some other limited tasks. Surfaces were digitized before and after rotation by angular displacement, the digital data were interpolated by Surfer to provide a data grid and the surfaces were computer graphically reconstructed: Misaligned surfaces were aligned by the data-fitting alignment software under different choices of parameters. The effect of different interpolation parameters (e.g. grid size, method of interpolation) and extent of rotation on the alignment accuracy was determined. The results indicate that improved alignment accuracy results from optimization of interpolation parameters and minimization of the initial misorientation between the digitized surfaces. The method provides important advantages for surface reconstruction and visualization, such as overlay of sequentially generated surfaces and accurate alignment of pairs of surfaces with small misalignment.

Abstract
Selected commercial and experimental composites and resin systems have been evaluated by thermal analysis techniques of Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Thermogravimetric Analysis and Thermomechanical Analysis. Important thermal data such as heat of cure, coefficient of thermal expansion, dimensional changes over selected temperature ranges, filler weight percent, onset temperature of decomposition, etc. have been determined. Heat of cure, thermal expansion coefficient and dimensional changes appear to follow an inverse linear regression fit with filler fraction in the composite. Thermal expansion changes and exothermic reactions with temperature indicate secondary cure during postcure heating. The thermally-induced decomposition occurs in multiple stages indicating presence of different structural species in the resin matrix.

Abstract
Five dental alloys, on exposure to blood and chocolate media with and without inoculated microorganisms, showed varying degrees of tarnish. The results indicated a composition-dependent tarnish behavior of alloys in microorganism-inoculated media, indicating a potential role for the oral microorganisms in inducing clinically observed tarnish of dental alloys. Actinomyces viscosus and periodontal pocket specimens show a similarity in their activity to induce tarnish in base metal-containing dental alloys.

Abstract
In this paper, computer-controlled differential scanning calorimetry has been used to evaluate the heat liberated and the temperature rise associated with the light cure of selected dental composites. In addition, the effect of postcure heating and increased ambient temperature of light cure are examined in terms of potential secondary cure. The results indicate significant differences between the mean heats of cure of different composites, primarily reflecting the filler fraction variations of the composites. In addition, increased cure activity appears to result from both postcure heating as well as thermal activation due to higher ambient temperature of light cure. The results are analyzed and attributed to variations in resin phase composition and resin content per unit weight of composite as well as thermally induced enhancement of cure.

Abstract
Interactive effects of etching and pre-oxidation on porcelain adherence to non-precious alloys were studied by a guided planar shear bond test under non-cantilever conditions. The results indicated that electrolytic etching decreases bond strength, but that oxidation of etched surfaces restores the bond strength level. The results are explained by a hypothesis that depletion of critical elemental species occurs during etching. Potential replenishment of the lost elements during subsequent oxidation, although not confirmed, may assist in improving bond strength.

Abstract
The demineralization and ion binding effects on dental tissues due to poly(acrylic) acid attack under different dilution conditions of the latter are studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. The results indicate that in addition to the general demineralization effects such as preferential prism core attack, prism periphery attack, and protruding prism rods, competing ion binding effects also occur. Using optimum dilution conditions, the microstructural effects of demineralization and ion binding are shown and the effects are related to IR spectral observations.
