Background US shear-wave elastography (SWE) and vibration-controlled transient (VCTE) enable assessment of liver stiffness, an indicator fibrosis severity. However, limited reproducibility data restrict their use in clinical trials. Purpose To estimate SWE VCTE measurement variability nonalcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) within across systems to support trial diagnostic enrichment interpretation longitudinal stiffness. Materials Methods This prospective, observational, cross-sectional study...
Abstract An exploratory case‐control study of non‐carious cervical lesions was undertaken to examine the effects a variety risk factors. Candidate exposure variables were related erosion, abrasion, and tooth flexure, three principal putative causal mechanisms for lesions. Because previous studies have tended focus on specific mechanisms, evidence multifactorial etiology is inconclusive. Data describing factors obtained through clinical examination, dietary behavioral questionnaires, analysis...
Clinical Relevance Lower scores for marginal discoloration and adaptation were noted when an all-in-one self-etching adhesive was applied to non-carious cervical lesions compared a three-step total-etch adhesive.
Clinical Relevance All materials tested, especially iBond, have a potential long-term antibacterial effect against the oral bacteria tested.
