Abstract
OBJECTIVES This systematic review aimed to compare the clinical outcome, internal gap, trueness, precision, and biocompatibility of 3D-printed (AM) compared to milled (SM) zirconia restorations. DATA SOURCE A thorough search of Internet databases was conducted up to September 2023. The search retrieved studies compared AM zirconia to SM zirconia restorations regarding clinical outcome, fit, trueness, precision, and biocompatibility. STUDY SELECTION Of 1736 records, only 59 were screened for eligibility, and 22 records were included in this review. The quality of studies was assessed using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool (ROB2), and the Modified Consort Statement. One clinical study exhibited a low risk of bias. All laboratory studies revealed some bias concerns. Short-term observation showed 100 % survival with no signs of periodontal complications. 3D-printed zirconia crowns showed statistically significant lower ΔE and a better match to adjacent teeth (p ≤ 0.5). The fit, trueness, and precision vary with the printing technique and the tooth surface. CONCLUSIONS 3D-printed zirconia crowns provide better aesthetic color and contour match to adjacent natural teeth than milled crowns. Both 3D printing and milling result in crowns within the clinically acceptable internal and marginal fit. Except for nanoparticle jetting, the marginal gap of SM crowns was smaller than AM crowns, however, both were clinically acceptable. Laminate veneers might be more accurately produced by 3D printing. 3D-printed axial surface trueness was better than milled axial surfaces. Long-term RCTs are recommended to confirm the clinical applicability of 3D-printed restorations. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Internal fit and gap, precision, and trueness are fundamental requirements for successful dental restorations. Both techniques produce restorations with clinically acceptable marginal and internal fit. Axial surfaces and narrow or constricted areas favored 3D-printed than conventionally milled zirconia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of weight ratio, the shape of the precursor particles, and the application of a phosphate-monomer-containing primer on the mechanical properties of polymer infiltrated ceramic networks (PICNs) using zinc oxide. Two different types of zinc oxide particles were used as precursors to produce zinc oxide networks by sintering, each with two different densities resulting in two different weight ratios of the PICNs. For each of these different networks, two subgroups were built: one involving the application of a phosphate-monomer-containing primer prior to the infiltration of Bis-GMA/TEGDMA and one without. Elastic modulus and flexural strength were determined by using the three-point bending test. Vertical substance loss determined by the chewing simulation was evaluated with a laser scanning microscope. There was a statistically significant influence of the type of precursor particles on the flexural strength and in some cases on the elastic modulus. The application of a primer lead to a significant increase in the flexural strength and in most cases also in the elastic modulus. A higher weight ratio of zinc oxide led to a significantly higher elastic modulus. Few statistically significant differences were found for the vertical substance loss. By varying the shape of the particles and the weight fraction of zinc oxide, the mechanical properties of the investigated PICN can be controlled. The use of a phosphate-monomer-containing primer strengthens the bond between the infiltrated polymer and the zinc oxide, thus increasing the strength of the composite.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The influence of the ferrule thickness and post materials on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth remains unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate the influence of post material and ferrule thickness on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated mandibular premolars. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-four extracted and endodontically treated mandibular first premolars were used and divided into 4 test groups (n=16) depending on the ferrule thickness: F-0: without a ferrule, F-0.5: with a 0.5-mm ferrule thickness, F-1: with a 1-mm ferrule thickness, and F-1.5: with a 1.5-mm ferrule thickness. In groups with ferrules, the height ranged from 2 mm buccally/lingually to 1 mm proximally. Teeth in subgroups (n=8) were restored with either prefabricated glass fiber (FF) or titanium posts (FT) (ISO size 70 and length of 7.5 mm) and then adhesively restored with composite resin foundation materials. After foundation procedures, each specimen was restored with a cobalt chromium crown which was cemented with glass-ionomer cement. All specimens were subjected to dynamic loading in a masticatory simulator for 1 200 000 loading cycles with a nominal load of 5 Kg at 1.2 Hz and simultaneous thermocycling (5 to 55 °C). Specimens were then quasistatically loaded at 30 degrees in a universal testing machine until fracture. Fracture loads were analyzed by using 2-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey honestly significant difference test (α=.05). RESULTS Fracture loads ranged from 610 ±45 N (no ferrule - glass fiber post) to 1216 ±169 N (1.5 mm ferrule thickness - glass fiber post). A statistically significant increase in fracture resistance was observed with increasing ferrule thickness (P<.001). However, post materials did not show a statistically significant influence (P=.977). CONCLUSIONS Under the conditions of this laboratory study, increasing the ferrule thickness had a significant effect on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth after thermomechanical fatigue, irrespective of post materials.

Abstract
This laboratory study was conducted to evaluate and compare the resin bond strength of different adhesive resin systems in different combinations and the durability of their bonds with zirconia ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and twenty-eight specimens were milled from 3Y-TZP zirconia ceramic. The bonding surfaces of all disks were wet polished, steam cleaned, airborne-particle abraded and ultrasonically cleaned in 99% isopropanol. The specimens were randomly divided into four main groups according to the applied resin system; two conventional and two self-adhesive systems were used. Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups; the first was conditioned with the specified primer for conventional luting resins or not conditioned for the self-adhesive systems, whereas the second subgroup of each was conditioned with the same phosphate monomer-containing primer (Alloy Primer). The zirconia specimens were adhesively bonded, using the allocated luting resin, to plexiglass tubes filled with self-curing composite resin (Clearfil FII). Half of the specimens of each subgroup were stored in distilled water at 37 °C for 3 days, whereas the other half were subjected to artificial aging, 150 days of storage and additional thermal cycling. Thereafter, all specimens were subjected to TBS testing using a universal testing machine. Statistical analysis was conducted using two-way ANOVA followed by separate one-way ANOVAs. The Games-Howell post-hoc test was applied for pairwise comparisons. RESULTS All specimens survived storage with thermal cycling. The mean TBS values ranged from a minimum of 43.4 ± 5.0 MPa to a maximum of 66.4 ± 3.5 after 3 days and from a minimum of 13.6 ± 2.5 MPa to a maximum of 50.1 ± 9.4 MPa after 150 days. CONCLUSIONS Artificial aging had a significantly negative effect on all test groups. The chosen adhesive-resin system had a significant effect on the resulting TBS values. The highest TBS values were achieved for the self-adhesive luting resin G-Cem One but were statistically comparable to the results obtained for the dual-cure luting resin G-Cem LinkForce.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the influence of contamination and different cleaning methods on resin bonding to cobalt-chro- mium (CoCr) alloy disks. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 160 CoCr disks were divided into 3 groups. The first group (N = 64) was air abraded with alumina particles and contaminated with a silicone disclosing agent and saliva; the second group (N = 64) was air abraded but not contaminated; the third group (N = 32) was neither air abraded nor contaminated. The first two groups were di- vided into 4 subgroups (N = 16) according to the cleaning method: ultrasonic bath in 99% isopropanol, use of a cleaning suspension of zirconium oxide particles, use of a cleaning suspension based on 10-MDP salt, and treatment with atmo- spheric plasma. The third group was divided into 2 subgroups (N = 16): treatment with atmospheric plasma and no treat- ment. All CoCr specimens were bonded to plexiglas tubes filled with a bonding resin that contained phosphate monomer. Tensile bond strength (TBS) was examined by tensile testing after 3 and 150 days of water storage plus 37,500 thermal cy- cles (N = 8). RESULTS After contamination, TBS was significantly reduced after 150 days of water storage. Groups without air abrasion showed initially low TBS and debonded spontaneously after 150 days of water storage. CONCLUSION None of the cleaning methods was able to remove saliva and silicone disclosing agent on CoCr-alloy sur- faces. Surface activation by plasma treatment has no long-term effect on the bond strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the phase transformation and the influence of aging on the flexural strength of different colored zirconia. The effect of hydrothermal aging in an autoclave was compared with the effect of mechanical stress by simulating chewing. METHODS High-strength zirconia (3Y-TZP) was investigated in three different colors: uncolored, A3, and D3. Disc-shaped specimens (N = 3) were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and flexural strength was determined on bar-shaped specimens (N = 15) in a 4-point bending test before and after performing two different aging protocols: aging in an autoclave (134 °C, 70 h) and aging in a chewing simulator (5 kg load, 1.2 million cycles). During autoclave aging, the fraction of monoclinic phase on the surface was determined every 5 h. Once this exceeded 25 vol%, aging of the bar specimens was stopped. RESULTS While in the unstained group the mean value of the proportion of monoclinic phase already exceeded 25 vol% after 30 h in the autoclave, this was the case in both stained groups only after 70 h. No measurable phase transformation could be detected after chewing simulation. Only color A3 showed a statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) decrease in flexural strength after aging in the chewing simulator. SIGNIFICANCE The colored zirconia showed a higher resistance to phase transformation through hydrothermal aging. The metal oxides in the staining solutions are assumed to hinder the phase transformation in the zirconia. Therefore, the significant reduction in the stained zirconia after chewing simulation is particularly interesting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the survival rate, the debonding resistance, and the failure modes of different occlusal veneer designs when used as a retainer for posterior cantilever, resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) at two tooth wear levels. METHODS Four test groups were assigned: two groups with occlusal-proximal preparation (PT1 and PT2 for grade 2 and 3 wear), and two groups for occlusal-proximal and lingual preparation (PLT1 and PLT2 for grade 2 and 3 wear) Monolithic zirconia ceramic (3Y-TZP) RBFDPs were luted with an adhesive bonding system (Panavia V5). The specimens underwent a chewing simulation for 1.200.000 cycles with a load of 5 kg and thermocycling for 7500 cycles between 5 °C and 55 °C. The surviving restorations were debonded under quasi-static conditions. The results were analyzed with ANOVA. RESULTS The specimens exhibited a 100 % survival rate after thermomechanical fatigue loading. The debonding resistance was statistically significant higher for group PLT1 than for group PT1 (P = 0.004), and higher for group PT2 than group PT1 (P ≤ 0.001). However, the debonding resistance showed no statistically significant difference between groups PT2 and PLT2 (P = 0.343), and groups PLT1 and PLT2 (P = 0.222). Groups PT1 and PT2 showed favorable failure modes in 62.5 % and 0.00 % of the specimens, respectively. While groups PLT1 and PLT2 presented 25 % favorable failure modes. SIGNIFICANCE Occlusal veneers showed promising results as a retainer for cantilever RBFDPs. The lingual extension might increase debonding resistance. Nevertheless, conservative designs with lingual and proximal bevels are to be recommended, irrespective of the level of tooth wear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties and cost efficiency of direct ink writing (DIW) printing of two different zirconia inks compared to casting and subtractive manufacturing. METHODS Zirconia disks were manufactured by DIW printing and the casting process and divided into six subgroups (n = 20) according to sintering temperatures (1350 °C, 1450 °C and 1550 °C) and two different ink compositions (Ink 1, Ink 2). A CAD/CAM-milled high strength zirconia (3Y-TZP) was added as reference group. The biaxial flexural strength (BFS) was measured using the piston-on-three-balls test. X-ray-diffraction (XRD) was used for microstructural analysis. The cost efficiency was compared for DIW printing and subtractive manufacturing by calculation of the manufacturing costs of one dental crown. RESULTS Using XRD, monoclinic and tetragonal phases were detected for Ink 1, for all other groups no monoclinic phase was detected. The CAD/CAM-milled ceramic showed a significantly higher BFS than all other groups. The BFS of Ink 2 was significantly higher than the BFS of Ink 1. At a sintering temperature of 1550 °C the mean BFS of the printed Ink 2 was 822 ± 174 MPa. The BFS of the cast materials did not show a significantly higher BFS than the corresponding printed group for any tested parameter-set. The manufacturing costs of DIW printed crowns are lower than the manufacturing costs of CAD/CAM-milled crowns. CONCLUSION DIW has a high potential to replace subtractive processes for dental applications, as it shows promising mechanical properties for appropriate ink compositions and facilitates a highly cost effective production.

Abstract
PURPOSE Various surface roughness parameters are utilized to describe the surface in the tooth to ceramics abrasion and to assess the resulting wear. The use of three-dimensional parameters may offer a better estimation for wear and an improved deduced clinical surface treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of various surface roughness parameters of zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics on the wear of steatite antagonists. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty zirconia specimens with a diameter of 7 mm and a thickness of 3 mm and 40 lithium disilicate specimens with the dimensions 10×10×4 mm were each divided into five subgroups. Two subgroups were treated with different clinically established diamond burs; a third subgroup was treated with a silicone polishing set. Two additional subgroups were produced by glazing the surfaces after treatment. Surface roughness parameters were determined by laser scanning microscopy. All specimens underwent 1.2 million loading cycles using steatite antagonists. After regular intervals of cycles, precision impressions were made to assess the wear. The correlation between wear and different roughness parameters was evaluated using the Spearman correlation test. RESULTS For the glazed zirconia, unglazed zirconia, and glazed lithium disilicate specimens no significant correlations (p > 0.05) between the investigated roughness parameters and antagonist wear could be found. In the unglazed lithium disilicate groups, significant (p ≤ 0.05) correlations with steatite substance loss could be found for several roughness parameters after 1.2 million cycles. CONCLUSIONS For lithium disilicate, it seems not sufficient to use only one roughness parameter to indicate the wear behavior of the surface. There was no correlation between wear and the tested roughness parameters of zirconia surfaces.

Abstract
PURPOSE Various oral rehabilitation approaches are available for severely worn dentition. However, evidence-based guidelines for permanent treatment are limited. This review aims to investigate clinical observational findings and compare in-vitro outcomes of thin and ultrathin occlusal veneers using different materials and approaches. METHODS An electronic search of online databases, such as PubMed (MEDLINE), BioMed Central (BMC), Cochrane, and Scopus, was performed for the 2009 - Jun 2021 period, following the PRISMA 2020 criteria. The reports sought for retrieval were all the articles evaluating the clinical outcomes of permanent full-mouth rehabilitation, and all in-vitro records that investigated and compared fracture strength, survival rate, and modes of failure of ultrathin (0.3 - 0.6 mm), thin (0.5 - 0.8 mm), and thick (0.8-1.5 mm) occlusal veneer restorations, with regard to the available indirect restorative materials. The Newcastle Ottawa risk of bias criteria was used to judge the clinical studies and a modified consort statement was used for the evaluation of in-vitro studies. The data of the included studies were extracted and grouped based on the similarity of the outcomes and study protocols. Data heterogeneity determined the qualitative and quantitative grouping of the results. RESULTS Two clinical and 17 in-vitro studies were included. Data exhibited heterogeneity within the materials, variables, testing protocols and observation periods. Therefore, only qualitative synthesis of the results was feasible. Clinically used 1 mm lithium disilicate overlays and ultrathin one-step no-prep polymer infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) occlusal veneers exhibited very high success and survival rates. The analysis of in-vitro studies exhibited variable survival rates and fracture load values, based on materials, thickness, and restorative approaches used. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this systematic review, it can be concluded that the clinical outcomes of thin and ultrathin occlusal veneers/overlays are auspicious. In-vitro experimental results support the usage of the thin and ultrathin occlusal veneers.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of thermomechanical dynamic loading on the retention of telescopic mandibular overdentures with different metallic and nonmetallic material combinations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four groups were tested: (1) ZP (zirconia abutments/PEEK framework); (2) PP (PEEK abutments/PEEK framework); (3) TP (titanium abutments/PEEK framework); and (4) TG (titanium abutments/gold copings/cobalt-chromium framework). Each specimen contained four implants positioned over a polyvinylchloride-cylindrical base. After 10,000 removal/insertion cycles, the specimens were subjected to thermomechanical dynamic load in a chewing simulator for 1,200,000 loading cycles, corresponding to 5-year clinical fatigue. A screw was used to receive the chewing load, and 0.5 mm was permitted between the screw and the metal top fixed into the base to simulate the resilience of the posterior residual ridge tissues. Vertical chewing loads of 60 N were applied at a speed of 30 mm/second. Thermocycling was applied with a temperature ranging between 5°C and 55°C. The retentive force was measured using a universal testing machine 10 times before and after the thermomechanical dynamic loading test with a speed of 8 mm/second. RESULTS The mean retentive force increased significantly from 13.2 (± 4.6) N to 16.4 (± 6.1) N in group ZP (P = .002), while in group TP, it decreased significantly from 4.9 (± 2.1) N to 3.3 (± 1.7) N (P = .046). There was no statistically significant change in the retentive force for groups PP and TG. CONCLUSIONS The investigated metallic and nonmetallic combinations of double-crown-retained mandibular overdentures maintained acceptable levels of retention after thermomechanical dynamic loading. Further laboratory and clinical studies are needed before their routine clinical use can be recommended.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of aging and alumina-particle air abrasion at different pressures on the bond strength of two luting composites to a translucent 3Y-TZP zirconia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Half of the 192 disk-shaped zirconia specimens were aged in an autoclave (group A) for 20 h (134°C, 2 bar), and the other half was not aged (group N). For each group, a different surface treatment was applied: as-sintered (group SIN), alumina-particle air abrasion either at 1 bar (group 1B) or at 2.5 bar (group 2.5B). Disks were bonded to Plexiglas tubes filled with composite resin using a phosphate monomer-based luting composite (group SA) or with a separate phosphate monomer containing primer before using a phosphate-monomer-free luting composite (group V5). All specimens were subjected to tensile bond strength testing (TBS) before and after thermocycling. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences caused by autoclave aging for the test groups before thermocycling, except for the A-SIN-SA group, where the TBS decreased significantly. The variation of the aluminaparticle air abrasion pressure showed no statistically significant effect, except in the N-1B-V5 group, where TBS was significantly lower than N-2.5B-V5. After thermocycling, the TBS of most groups decreased significantly. Specimens of the primer group, which were abraded at 1 bar, showed a significant decrease in TBS in comparison with alumina-particle air abrasion at 2.5 bar. CONCLUSION Twenty hours of autoclave aging had almost no influence on the bond strength of the test groups. For the primer/resin bonding system, higher pressure during alumina-particle air abrasion might help obtain a higher and more durable bond strength to zirconia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the bonding durability after artificial aging provided by a self-etching and a no-etching ceramic primer compared to primers, which are applied by the etch and rinse method. METHODS Lithium disilicate blocks were bonded to a composite resin (Clearfill Core, Kuraray) using 5 bonding methods (N = 24). Specimens of group MEP were bonded using a self-etching primer and the corresponding luting resin (Monobond Etch&Prime/Variolink Esthetic, Ivoclar Vivadent) Specimens of group UBE were bonded using a two-bottle silane solution (Universal Primer/Estecem, Tokuyama) without hydrofluoric acid ceramic etching. Specimens of the other 3 groups were bonded using etch and rinse bonding systems with prior hydrofluoric acid ceramic etching (MPV: Monobond Plus/Variolink Esthetic, Ivoclar Vivadent; SUR: Scotchbond Universal/RelyX Ultimate, 3 M; GML: G-Multi Primer/G-CEM LinkForce, GC). Each group was divided into 3 subgroups (n = 8) according to the storage conditions (3 days water storage (37 °C), 30 days water storage, 7,500 thermal cycles (5-55 °C) and 150 days water storage, 37,500 thermal cycles). The tensile bond strength (TBS) was measured and the data was statistically analyzed. RESULTS After 3 days the median TBS ranged from 14.6 to 41.7 MPa, after 30 days from 4.2 to 39.0 MPa and after 150 days from 0 to 29.7 MPa. Both bonding systems utilizing a self-etching primer showed a significantly lower TBS than group MPV using a conventional ceramic bonding system. SIGNIFICANCE Especially after long-term storage with additional thermal cycling the bonding systems using primers without hydrofluoric acid ceramic etching do not provide a high bond strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To characterize human-gingival-fibroblast-(HGFs) viability, proliferation and adhesion on polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network-(PICN), polyetheretherketone-(PEEK), hydroxyapatite-reinforced-polyetheretherketone-(HA-PEEK), polyetherketoneketone-(PEKK), as well as conventional titanium-(Ti) and zirconia ceramic-(Zr) implant materials in-vitro. METHODS Six materials (n = 40/group, 240 specimens) were standardized for surface roughness, assessed employing water contact angle measurements (WCA) and loaded with HGFs. HGF viability and proliferation were assessed at 24 and 72 h. Cell adhesion strength was evaluated after 24 h exposure to lateral shear forces using a shaking-device at 320 and 560-rpm.and qualitatively tested by scanning-electron-microscopy-(SEM) at 3, 24 and 72 h. RESULTS PICN demonstrated the lowest mean WCA (48.2 ± 6.3º), followed by Zr (73.8 ± 5.1º), while HA-PEEK showed the highest WCA (87.2 ± 1.5º; p ≤ 0.05). After 24 h, Zr showed the highest mean HGFs-viability rate (88 ± 14%), while PEKK showed the lowest one (78 ± 7%). At 72 h, Zr continued to show the highest HGF-viability (80 ± 6%) compared to PEKK (67.5 ± 6%) and PEEK (67%±5). SEM did not reveal differences between different materials with respect to cell attachment at 3, 24 or 72 h. At 320 rpm shaking, HGFs showed to be best attached to PICN (mean%-of-detached-cells ± SD; 26 ± 11%) and worst to PEEK (54 ± 18%). At 560 rpm shaking, Zr showed the least detached cells (32 ± 4%), while HA-PEEK revealed the highest number of detached cells (58 ± 3%; ANOVA/Tukey-post-hoc-test, differences not statistically significant). SIGNIFICANCE Dental implant abutment materials and their wettability strongly affect HGF proliferation and adhesion properties. Although, PICN showed the best wettability properties, Zr exhibited the strongest adhesion strength at high shaking. Within the current study's limitations, Zr remains the most biocompatible abutment material.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Scientific data to support scannable and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM)-compatible interocclusal registration materials are lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the ability of different registration materials (conventional versus scannable) to record maxillary-mandibular relationships and compare the dimensional stability of these records after storage times of 1 hour and 48 hours. MATERIAL AND METHODS Six groups of interocclusal registration materials were tested: 3 conventional (Registrado X-tra, Futar D Fast, and O-Bite) and 3 scannable (Registrado Scan, Futar Cut & Trim Fast, and O-Bite Scan). Eight registrations were made for each group by using a custom-made device with a dial gauge to measure vertical discrepancies. Records were stored at room temperature, and discrepancies measured after 1 hour and 48 hours. The data were statistically analyzed with the Wilcoxon test with respect to time and the Kruskal-Wallis test with respect to materials, followed by the Mann-Whitney test with the Bonferroni-Holm correction (α=.05). RESULTS The median vertical discrepancies ranged from -2 μm (FS) to 11 μm (O-Bite) after 1 hour and from 3 μm (Futar Cut & Trim Fast) to 13 μm (Registrado X-tra and O-Bite) after 48 hours. A statistically significant difference (P<.001) was found between the results after 1 hour and 48 hours for all materials. All scannable interocclusal registration materials showed significantly lower vertical discrepancies than the corresponding conventional materials after 1 hour and 48 hours (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS All registration materials showed vertical discrepancies that might be clinically acceptable. Vertical discrepancies increased after 48 hours of storage for all materials but were still clinically acceptable.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different preparation and framework designs on the retention of posterior resin bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) made from monolithic zirconia ceramic. Forty-eight caries-free upper premolars and forty-eight upper third molars were used in this study. The teeth were randomly divided into six main groups (n = 8 each) according to the preparation design of two-retainer RBFDPs: narrow or wide rest, combined with 0, 1 or 2 retainer wings. All RBFDPs were milled from monolithic zirconia (KATANA Zirconia ML). They were bonded using Panavia V5 with its corresponding primer, and underwent thermodynamic loading (98 N, 1,200,000 cycles). Retention was evaluated for the surviving RBFDPs in a universal testing machine by means of a debonding test. Failure modes were evaluated using a light microscope. Data was statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Shapiro-Wilk followed by Mann-Whitney with Bonferroni correction for multiple testing. The survival rates after the chewing simulation were 75% (group narrow rest/no retainer wing), 62.5% (group wide rest/no retainer wing) and 100% (the other groups). The mean retention ranged from 31 N to 766 N. Designs with two retainer wings showed significantly higher bond strength than the other designs (p ≤ 0.05). The rest width did not show a significant effect on the retention. Posterior RBFDPs with a modified design (occlusal rest and two retainer wings) exhibited promising durability and retention. Designs with two additional retainer wings should be preferred over designs with one or no retainer wing, irrespectively of the rest width.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of three different designs and two monolithic ceramic materials on the durability and fracture resistance of endocrowns on maxillary first premolars, in comparison to post-and-core crowns. METHODS Fifty-six maxillary premolars were endodontically treated and shortened to a level of 2 mm from the cervical line, and randomly categorized into six endocrown groups and post-and-core crown control group (n=8); E1; endocrowns with flat occlusal table (without ferrule), E2; endocrowns with 1.5 mm circumferential ferrule, E3; endocrowns with 1.5 mm buccal ferrule preparation. Two materials were used for endocrowns: zirconia (4YSZ; Z), and lithium disilicate (L). The control group was restored with zirconia posts, and lithium disilicate crowns. All restorations were bonded using Panavia V5 and its respective primers and underwent thermo-mechanical fatigue with a 10 kg dynamic load for 1,200,000 cycles and thermocycling between 5 and 55 °C. Thereafter all survived specimens were loaded to fracture. The results were statistically analyzed using ANOVA and T-Test. RESULTS None of the specimens showed any signs of debonding or fracture caused by the fatigue test. The PC control group showed no statistically significant difference in comparison to groups ZE1, ZE2 and LE2 ( p > 0.05 ). However, it was significantly different from groups LE1, LE3, and ZE3 ( p ≤ 0.05 ). CONCLUSIONS Preparation designs and materials affected the fracture resistance of endocrowns. The results showed a superiority of the post-and-core crowns,zirconia/lithium disilicate endocrowns with 1.5 mm circumferential ferrule, and zirconia endocrowns with the flat occlusal table.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different sintering temperatures on biaxial flexural strength (BFS), dynamic loading, surface hardness, color reproduction, translucency, surface roughness and microstructure of zirconia with 4 mol% yttria (4YSZ) compared to zirconia with 5 mol% yttria (5YSZ). METHODS Zirconia discs with 12 mm diameter and 1.2 mm thickness were prepared and divided into three groups (n = 53) according to different sintering temperatures (1400 °C, 1500 °C and 1600 °C). Each group was divided into five subgroups (n = 10) according to the dynamic loading procedure (none, 50%, 65%, 75% and 80%) conducted before the quasi-static BFS test and another subgroup (n = 3) used for X-ray-diffraction (XRD) microstructure analysis. BFS test and dynamic loading were performed with a piston-on-three-ball test. The surface hardness was evaluated according to Vickers. Color reproduction and translucency were measured with a spectrophotometer. A 3D laser scanning microscope was used to determine the surface roughness. Grain size measurements were performed using SEM. RESULTS A significant increase in biaxial flexural strength was observed while the sintering temperature decreased. 4YSZ had significantly higher results in biaxial flexural strength than 5YSZ. A decrease in sintering temperature resulted in a significant increase in Vickers hardness. Furthermore, 4YSZ showed significantly better color reproduction with increasing sintering temperature. At higher temperatures (1500 °C and 1600 °C), 4YSZ showed better color reproduction than 5YSZ. Compared to 4YSZ, specimens of 5YSZ exhibited significant higher translucency. Using XRD, a distorted tetragonal phase was detected in addition to regular tetragonal and cubic phases in specimens without any stress and at a low sintering temperature. The grain sizes of both materials increased with an increase in sintering temperature. CONCLUSION The sintering temperature has significant effects on the microstructure and thus on the mechanical and optical properties of the evaluated zirconia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this laboratory study was to evaluate the wear resistance of crowns made from current computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) materials. In addition, the abrasion of the steatite antagonist against these materials was compared. METHODS Identically shaped crowns of lithium disilicate, zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate and a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) were fabricated with an occlusal thickness of 1.5mm and a lateral wall thickness of 1.2mm (n=8). The crowns were cemented with a dual-polymerizing luting resin on composite resin dies. Using spherical steatite antagonists, all specimens were loaded with 49N for 1,200,000 cycles in a mastication simulator with additional thermocycling. After 120,000, 240,000, 480,000, 960,000, and 1,200,000 cycles, precision impressions were made and investigated with a laser scanning microscope. The vertical and volume substance loss was measured. Additionally, the substance loss of the antagonists was evaluated after 1,200,000 loading cycles. RESULTS No significant difference (p>0.05) was found in the median volume loss of the test materials after 1,200,000 cycles (lithium disilicate: 0.405mm3, PICN: 0.362mm3, zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate: 0.340mm3). The vertical substance loss of PICN (157μm) was significantly lower (p≤0.05) than that of lithium disilicate (201μm) and zirconia reinforced lithium disilicate (191μm). However, the substance loss of steatite against zirconia-reinforced lithium disilicate (0.191mm3) was significantly lower (p≤0.05) than against lithium disilicate (0.296mm3) and PICN (0.531mm3). SIGNIFICANCE All three CAD/CAM materials showed wear resistance that seems appropriate for clinical application. Also, the abrasion of the antagonist looks promising.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The airborne-particle abrasion of zirconia with alumina particle (APA) has been reported to result in the durable bonding of appropriate adhesive luting systems. However, whether a delay between APA and the application of the adhesive luting material might affect the resulting bond strength and its durability is unknown. METHODS A total of 140 disc-shaped zirconia specimens were divided according to the elapsed time between the APA of zirconia and its bonding into 5 test groups (15 min, 1 h, 4 h, 24 h, and 72 h). The specimens were airborne-particle abraded with 50-μm Al2O3, and then stored at room temperature according to the test group (n = 28/group). Surface free energy (SFE) was measured for 12 specimens per group using a goniometer. For each group 16 Plexiglas tubes filled with composite resin were bonded to the zirconia specimens with an adhesive luting resin (Panavia 21). Tensile bond strength (TBS) was tested for subgroups of 8 specimens after water storage for 3 days and for 150 days with 37,500 thermal cycles. RESULTS SFE decreased significantly within 24 h after APA. TBS after 3 days of water storage ranged from 38.3 (1 h) to 28.4 MPa (24 h) and after 150 days with thermocycling from 38.3 (15 min) to 24.8 MPa (24 h). SIGNIFICANCE Based on these results, the time between the APA of zirconia and the application of adhesive materials should be minimized when bonding nonretentive zirconia restorations clinically.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The influence of the flexural modulus of prefabricated posts on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of post material and post diameter on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated mandibular premolars. In addition, the influence of tooth substance loss was evaluated by comparing 1 with 2 residual dentinal walls. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty-four extracted mandibular first premolars were endodontically treated and divided into 8 test groups (n=8) based on the number of residual walls (1 or 2), post material (glass fiber or titanium) and post diameter (International Standards Organization [ISO] 70 or ISO 90). After luting the posts, the specimens received a composite resin core and a crown preparation with a 2-mm ferrule. Cast Co-Cr crowns were cemented with glass ionomer cement. After 1 200 000 mastication cycles with a load of 49 N and simultaneous thermocycling (5 °C-55 °C), specimens were quasistatically loaded at 30 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the tooth until fracture. Fracture loads were analyzed by using 3-way ANOVA (α=.05). Fracture modes were examined with a stereomicroscope at ×25 magnification and recorded. RESULTS Fracture loads ranged from 954 ±35 N (1 residual wall-glass fiber-ISO 70) to 1286 ±202 N (1 residual wall-glass fiber-ISO 90). Titanium posts showed a statistically significant higher fracture resistance than glass fiber posts. A statistically significant increase in fracture resistance was also observed with increasing post diameter. However, no significant difference was found with respect to the number of residual walls (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS Teeth restored with titanium posts exhibited higher fracture resistance than teeth restored with glass fiber posts, especially when smaller diameter posts were used.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of different cleaning methods on the resin bond strength to contaminated translucent 3Y-TZP ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 133 airborne-particle abraded (0.1 MPa) zirconia specimens were divided into 7 groups. Uncontaminated zirconia specimens were either not cleaned (UN) or cleaned with cleaning paste (Ivoclean) (UP1). After contamination by saliva and blood immersion, zirconia specimens were cleaned using either distilled water rinsing (CW), 99% isopropanol in an ultrasonic bath (CI), cleaning paste according to manufacturer's instructions (CP1), cleaning paste with additional rubbing (CP2), or additional airborne-particle abrasion at 0.1 MPa (CA). Three specimens from each group were examined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). For each group, sixteen Plexiglas tubes filled with composite resin (Clearfil FII, Kuraray Noritake) were bonded to the zirconia specimens using a primer (Clearfil Ceramic Primer Plus, Kuraray Noritake) and luting composite (Panavia V5, Kuraray Noritake). Before measuring tensile bond strength, specimens were stored in distilled water for 3 or 150 days plus 37,500 thermal cycles. RESULTS After 3 days, no group showed significantly different TBS compared to the control group UN (p > 0.05). However, groups CW and CI showed significantly lower TBS than all other groups after 150 days (p ≤ 0.05). XPS analysis revealed more organic residue on zirconia surfaces of groups CW and CI than on the other groups. CONCLUSION Cleaning with the cleaning paste and airborne-particle abrasion were effective in removing saliva and blood contamination and enhancing bond strength.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the change in the retention of novel metallic and non-metallic combinations for double-crown-retained mandibular overdentures on implants. METHODS Cylindrical bases were used to insert four implants arranged in an arch, with 10 mm inter-implant spacing anteriorly, and 35 mm posteriorly. Five groups (n = 8 each) of different materials combinations were tested for retention: zirconia abutments/PEEK framework (ZP), PEEK abutments/PEEK framework (PP), titanium abutments/PEEK framework (TP), titanium abutments/CoCr framework (TC), and titanium abutments/gold copings/cobalt-chromium framework as the control group (TG). The abutment retention height was 4 mm with 1° convergence angle. The retention was measured in a wet condition using a chewing simulator initially, and then at 100, 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 5,000, 8,000, and 10,000 insertion/separation cycles, which simulates the removing and inserting of an overdenture three times daily for 10 years of function. RESULTS The initial median retention of all groups ranged from 10.0 to 33.3 N. After 10,000 insertion/separation cycles, the median retention ranged from 10.3 to 35.0 N. The change in the retention after 10,000 cycles was not statistically significant within groups ZP and TG. For groups PP and TP, there was a slight increase in retention with partial significance. The retention of group TC showed fluctuation with a partially significant decrease in retention. CONCLUSIONS The use of novel metallic and non-metallic combinations in the construction of double-crown-retained mandibular overdentures on implants resulted in acceptable levels of retention and might be recommended for clinical application.

Abstract
We present a first principles-quality potential energy surface (PES) describing the inter-atomic forces for hydrogen atoms interacting with free-standing graphene. The PES is a high-dimensional neural network potential that has been parameterized to 75 945 data points computed with density-functional theory employing the PBE-D2 functional. Improving over a previously published PES [Jiang et al., Science, 2019, 364, 379], this neural network exhibits a realistic physisorption well and achieves a 10-fold reduction in the RMS fitting error, which is 0.6 meV per atom. The chemisorption barrier is 172 meV, which is lower than that of the REBO-EMFT PES (260 meV). We used this PES to calculate about 1.5 million classical trajectories with carefully selected initial conditions to allow for direct comparison to results of H- and D-atom scattering experiments performed at incidence translational energy of 1.9 eV and a surface temperature of 300 K. The theoretically predicted scattering angular and energy loss distributions are in good agreement with experiment, despite the fact that the experiments employed graphene grown on Pt(111). Compared to previous calculations, the agreement with experiments is improved. The remaining discrepancies between experiment and theory are likely due to the influence of the Pt substrate only present in the experiment.

Abstract
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the influence of aging and surface treatment on surface roughness, biaxial flexural strength (BFS), and Vickers hardness (VHN) of translucent dental zirconia. Half of 80 disc-shaped zirconia specimens (1.2 mm thickness and 12 mm diameter) were aged (group A) in an autoclave for 20 h (134 °C and 0.2 MPa) and the other half were not aged (group N). Specimens were subjected to: no surface treatment (SIN), particle air-abrasion with 50 µm alumina particles at 1 bar (0.1 MPa) and 2.5 bar (0.25 MPa), or polishing down to 1 µm (POL). Specimens were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, laser scanning microscope, BFS, and VHN tests. Three groups (N-SIN, N-POL, and A-POL) showed almost no monoclinic phase. While other groups showed monoclinic phase ratios ranging from 7.5 vol. % ± 2.4 vol. % (N-0.1 MPa) to 41.5 vol. % ± 0.3 vol. % (A-0.1 MPa). Aging and particle air-abrasion increased significantly the BFS, ranging from 720 ± 37 MPa (N-SIN) to 1153 ± 92 MPa (N-0.1 MPa). The hardness was not influenced significantly by aging. A certain amount of monoclinic phase at the surface strengthens the high translucent dental zirconia, while hardness and roughness are not influenced. The pressure of particle air-abrasion showed no influence on the evaluated properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of contamination and different cleaning methods on the tensile bond strength with a phosphate monomer containing luting resin to zirconia ceramic. METHODS After the contamination with saliva or silicone disclosing agent, 228 polished and airborne-particle abraded zirconia discs were ultrasonically cleaned with 99% isopropanol. In a second step, the specimens were either treated with argon-oxygen plasma, air plasma, enzymatic cleaning agent or did not undergo an additional cleaning process. Uncontaminated zirconia specimens were used as the control group. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used for chemical analysis of the bonding surfaces of specimens. Plexiglas tubes filled with composite resin were bonded to zirconia specimens with a phosphate monomer containing luting resin. Tensile bond strength (TBS) was tested after 3 days or 150 days water storage with 37,500 thermal cycles. RESULTS XPS revealed a decrease of the carbon/oxygen ratio after plasma treatment and an increase after treatment with an enzymatic cleaning agent in all groups. All contaminated specimens showed high and durable TBS after cleaning with a combination of isopropanol and a non-thermal atmospheric plasma. After the cleaning with enzymatic cleaning agent the TBS was significantly reduced in all groups after 150 days thermal cycling. SIGNIFICANCE The combination of isopropanol and plasma cleaning was effective in removing salvia and disclosing agent contamination. Enzymatic clearing agent was not able to remove contamination effectively and had a negative impact on the TBS of non-contaminated specimens.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the study was to evaluate fracture strength of full-anatomical crowns manufactured from three different types of zirconia with different content of yttrium oxide. METHOD AND MATERIALS A total of 48 specimens were divided into three main groups (n = 16), according to the content of yttrium oxide in the crown material used, as follows: group A, DD Bio ZX2 (3Y-TZP); group B, DD cubeX2 HS (4Y-TZP); and group C, DD cubeX2 (5Y-TZP) (Dental Direkt). After proper surface treatment of different materials, the crowns were adhesively bonded to metal abutments using a dual-curing composite resin (Multilink Automix, Ivoclar Vivadent). Eight specimens from each material group were randomly selected to undergo an artificial aging through dynamic loading and thermocycling in a chewing simulator (Willytec, SD-Mechatronic). After dynamic loading all survived specimens of the first subgroup together with all the specimens of the second subgroup were loaded in a universal testing machine (Zwick Z010, Zwick/Roell). The data were checked for normal distribution with the Shapiro-Wilk test and for homogeneity of the variances with the Levene test. The statistical analyses were done using the Kruskal-Wallis test and in subgroups using the Wilcoxon test. RESULTS The highest fracture strength median value was shown with the 3Y-TZP after artificial aging (median 7,530 N), while the lowest was shown with the 5Y-TZP after artificial aging as well (median 3,700 N). CONCLUSIONS Increasing the content of yttrium oxide in attempt to improve the optical properties can reduce the mechanical properties after aging of the ceramic as shown in this study. However, even the more translucent 5Y-TZP showed very high fracture resistance, which exceeded 3,000 N. Based on the results of this study, care should be taken when using zirconia with high content of yttrium oxide in areas or situations with high stresses.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of contamination and plasma treatment on the bond strength of resin to zirconia ceramic. MATERIALS AND METHODS After immersion in saliva or the use of a silicone disclosing agent, polished and airborne-particle abraded zirconia specimens were cleaned either ultrasonically in 99% isopropanol or with nonthermal plasma. Uncontaminated zirconia specimens were used as control. For chemical analysis, specimens of all groups were examined with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Plexiglas tubes filled with composite resin were bonded to ceramic specimens with a phosphate-monomer-containing luting resin. The influence of contamination and cleaning methods on ceramic bond durability was examined by tensile testing after 3 and 150 days of water storage, with an additional 37,500 thermocycles during the 150-day storage. RESULTS XPS showed an increase in the amount of oxygen and a decrease in the amount of carbon on the zirconia surface after plasma treatment. After contamination with silicone, XPS revealed a high amount of Si residue on the surface that none of the investigated cleaning processes could completely remove. The tensile bond strength to uncontaminated zirconia ceramic was durable, but was significantly reduced by contamination. CONCLUSION Plasma treatment was effective in removing salivary contamination but not silicone disclosing agent residue from the bonding surface of zirconia.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was twofold: 1. To evaluate the surface conditioning effect of a self-etching ceramic primer on lithium disilicate and zirconia ceramics; (2) to study the bond durability provided by the self-etching ceramic primer after artificial aging compared with conventional ceramic conditioning methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Lithium disilicate blocks (10 × 10 mm, 3.4 mm thick) and zirconia disks (8 mm diameter, 3.4 mm thick) were each divided into two groups. In group 1, the lithium disilicate disks (Li) were etched with hydrofluoric acid (HF), while zirconia (Zr) disks were treated with airborne-particle abrasion, both followed by application of a universal primer for restorative materials (MP; Monobond Plus, Ivoclar Vivadent). In group 2, Li disks were not etched with HF, while Zr disks were treated with airborne-particle abrasion, both followed by a self-etching primer (ME; Monobond Etch & Prime, Ivoclar Vivadent). Surface conditioning effects were evaluated using SEM. The specimens in both groups were bonded to a composite with a luting resin and divided into two subgroups. Subgroup 1 was stored in water (37°C) for 3 days, and subgroup 2 was stored in water for 30 days before undergoing 7500 thermal cycles (5°C to 55°C). RESULTS The self-etching ceramic primer had a significant effect only on the lithium disilicate surface topography. The mean initial bond strength of ME-Zr was relatively low (24.4 MPa) in comparison with all other material combinations (MP-Li: 34.3 MPa; ME-Li: 33.5 MPa; MP-Zr: 31.1 MPa). After 30 days of water storage and thermocycling, the bond strength decreased significantly in all groups. CONCLUSION The self-etching primer provided bond strengths to lithium disilicate ceramic comparable with those of the well-established bonding method using hydrofluoric acid etching and a primer containing silane. To zirconia ceramic, however, it provided statistically significantly lower bond strength than did the established bonding method.

Abstract
PURPOSE Aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile bond strength (TBS) between resin cement and zirconia surface treated in different sintering stages. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty zirconia discs having final dimensions of 12 mm diameter and 3.2 mm thickness were milled then divided into three main groups according to the type of surface treatment performed (group 1: air abrasion using 50 µm Al2O3 particles, group 2: silica coating using Rocatec soft, and group 3: a control group receiving no surface treatment). Groups 1 and 2 were divided into two subgroups each according to the stage in which the surface treatment was performed (subgroup A; surface treatment performed in the pre-sintered stage and subgroup B; surface treatment performed in the post-sintered stage). Discs were later bonded to composite core materials using resin cement then tested for TBS either being subjected to 3 days of water storage or 150 days of water storage and 37,500 thermal cycles. RESULTS Long-term aging caused a significant decrease in TBS of all subgroups except the subgroup air-abraded in the post-sintered stage. After long-term aging, the group silica coated in the pre-sintered stage showed the significantly lowest TBS compared to all other groups. There was also no significant difference between the subgroups air-abraded and silica coated in the pre-sintered stage. All specimens in the control group debonded during long-term aging. SIGNIFICANCE Air-abrading zirconia with Al2O3 at a reduced pressure in the pre-sintered stage may result in durable bond strength to resin cement.

Abstract
SummaryBackground: The integrity of collection protocols in biobanking is essential for a high-quality sample preparation process. However, there is not currently a well-defined universal method for integrating collection protocols in the biobanking information system (BIMS). Therefore, an electronic schema of the collection protocol that is based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) is required to maintain the integrity and enable the exchange of collection protocols.Materials and Methods: The development and implementation of an electronic specimen collection protocol schema (eSCPS) was performed at two institutions (Muenster and Cologne) in three stages. First, we analyzed the infrastructure that was already established at both the biorepository and the hospital information systems of these institutions and determined the requirements for the sufficient preparation of specimens and documentation. Second, we designed an eSCPS according to these requirements. Fi -nally, a prospective study was conducted to implement and evaluate the novel schema in the current BIMS.Results: We designed an eSCPS that provides all of the relevant information about collection protocols. Ten electronic collection protocols were generated using the supplementary Protocol Editor tool, and these protocols were successfully implemented in the existing BIMS. Moreover, an electronic list of collection protocols for the current studies being performed at each institution was included, new collection protocols were added, and the existing protocols were redesigned to be modifiable. The documentation time was significantly reduced after implementing the eSCPS (5 ± 2 min vs. 7 ± 3 min; p = 0.0002).Conclusion: The eSCPS improves the integrity and facilitates the exchange of specimen collection protocols in the existing open-source BIMS.

Abstract
140 Background: The role of routine parameters in the prediction of organ-confined Prostate Cancer (oPCa) remains unclear. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of 246 patients with PCa diagnosed on biopsy, who underwent radical prostatectomy with extended lymph node dissection. None of these patients received a neoadjuvant therapy. Gleason score (xGLS), percent of positive cores involved by PCa (pCores), results of transrectal evaluation (TRUS, DRE), prostate volume (PVol), albumin-corrected Calcium (Ca), Hemoglobin (Hb), Creatinine (Crea), PSA, and age at RPE were considered. Postoperative variables including Gleason score (pGLS), TNM stages were evaluated. These patients were divided according to disease advancement into pathologically localized (pT2) and advanced PCa (pT3/4 or pN1). A L2 penalized regression model including all preoperative parameters was evaluated to design a nomogram for oPCa prediction. Furthermore, the internal validation of the nomogram was performed using bootstrapping and cross-validations. The precision and accuracy of the novel nomogram were evaluated by using AUC, F-Score, Brier-Score and the classification accuracy (CA). Results: The lowest probability for pathologically localized PCa was found in patients having the following features: PSA > 20 ng/ml, detection of PCa in all cores, high Ca [1.21 fold over upper normal limit (ULN)] and Crea levels (2.27 fold over ULN), xGls > 7 and normal PVol. A nomogram for oPCa was developed including the following parameter: Crea, Ca, PSA, xGls, PVol, TRUS, pCores. The sensitivity and the specificity of the nomogram for prediction of pathologically localized PCa were 92.2% and 35.9%, respectively. AUC of 0.811, CA of 80.1%, F-Score 0.879, a precision of 84.0%. and Brier-Score of 0.2599 were calculated. The predicted probability of the novel nomogram was associated with higher accuracy for prediction of oPCa compared to those of Partin table and Kattan nomogram. Conclusions: Serum creatinine and corrected calcium are indpendent predictors of oPCa. The novel nomogram can predict oPCa with high precision and accuracy. However, an external validation of the novel nomogram is needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Understanding the topographical distribution of prostate cancer (PCa) foci is necessary to optimize the biopsy strategy. This study was done to develop a technical approach that facilitates the analysis of the topographical distribution of PCa foci and related pathological findings (i.e., Gleason score and foci dimensions) in prostatectomy specimens. MATERIAL & METHODS The topographical distribution of PCa foci and related pathologic evaluations were documented using the cMDX documentation system. The project was performed in three steps. First, we analyzed the document architecture of cMDX, including textual and graphical information. Second, we developed a data model supporting the topographic analysis of PCa foci and related pathologic parameters. Finally, we retrospectively evaluated the analysis model in 168 consecutive prostatectomy specimens of men diagnosed with PCa who underwent total prostate removal. The distribution of PCa foci were analyzed and visualized in a heat map. The color depth of the heat map was reduced to 6 colors representing the PCa foci frequencies, using an image posterization effect. We randomly defined 9 regions in which the frequency of PCa foci and related pathologic findings were estimated. RESULTS Evaluation of the spatial distribution of tumor foci according to Gleason score was enabled by using a filter function for the score, as defined by the user. PCa foci with Gleason score (Gls) 6 were identified in 67.3% of the patients, of which 55 (48.2%) also had PCa foci with Gls between 7 and 10. Of 1173 PCa foci, 557 had Gls 6, whereas 616 PCa foci had Gls>6. PCa foci with Gls 6 were mostly concentrated in the posterior part of the peripheral zone of the prostate, whereas PCa foci with Gls>6 extended toward the basal and anterior parts of the prostate. The mean size of PCa foci with Gls 6 was significantly lower than that of PCa with Gls>6 (P<0.0001). CONCLUSION The cMDX-based technical approach facilitates analysis of the topographical distribution of PCa foci and related pathologic findings in prostatectomy specimens.

Abstract
The current nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) measurement is based on standard cut-off levels defined regardless of age. This study was conducted to provide age-stratified cut-off points for NPT measurement. Forty sexually active healthy men between 20 and 60 years old were enrolled and divided equally into four groups defined by age (20-29, 30-39, 40-49 and 50-60 years.). None of the candidates had sexual dysfunction or sleep disturbance or used supportive medication to enhance sexual function. Erectile function was evaluated by using the 5-item version of the international index of erectile function (IIEF-5). NPT was observed using the nocturnal electrobioimpedance volumetric assessment (NEVA(®) ). The NPT values of healthy men aged 20-60 years varied from 268.7% to 202.3%. The NPT differed significantly between age groups (P < 0.0009); however, no significant differences between men aged 30-39 and 40-49 (P = 0.593) were observed. Age was weakly associated with IIEF-5 scores (P = 0.004), whereas a strong and negative correlation between age and NPT (P < 0.0001) was found. IEF-5 scores were not significantly associated with NPT (P = 0.95). Therefore, the standard values for NPT testing should be considered in the evaluation of the nocturnal penile activity of men of all ages.
