In Vitro Assessment of the Fracture Resistance of Different Prosthodontic Materials for Fixed Dental Prostheses

Background: Fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) are commonly used in prosthodontics to restore missing teeth and improve oral function and esthetics.The selection of prosthodontic materials significantly impacts the fracture resistance of FDPs, thus influencing their clinical success.This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance Dustpan of differen

Estimating cyclopoid copepod species richness and geographical distribution (Crustacea) across a large hydrographical basin: comparing between samples from water column (plankton) and macrophyte stands

Species richness and geographical distribution of Cyclopoida Biotin freshwater copepods were analyzed along the "La Plata" River basin.Ninety-six samples were taken from 24 sampling sites, twelve sites for zooplankton in open waters and twelve sites for zooplankton within macrophyte stands, including reservoirs and lotic stretches.There were, on av
