Lithium disilicate and layered zirconia appear to be the most prevalent materials used for single-unit anterior crowns. These materials offer the necessary mechanical properties as well as sufficient optical characteristics needed in this type of restoration. There now are also more translucent versions of zirconia available that can be used for…[Read more]

When EQD2 is <70Gy, the number of CD8-positive cells has a significant impact on treatment outcome the recurrence rate (local recurrence rate + distant metastasis rate) was 46.2% in the group with a CD8 value of 230 or higher, whereas the recurrence rate was 75.7% in the group with a CD8 value of less than 230.

The combination of CD8 or…[Read more]
