Introduction: Resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses have an advantage over conventional fixed dental prostheses in terms of conservation of tooth structure but many clinicians refrain from using this treatment plan over the concern of the retention of those prostheses. In anterior region, it has better survival rate because of the less masticatory force. This study was conducted to find out the survival of resin-bonded fixed metal-ceramic dental prostheses placed in anterior region of a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital from September 2020 to February 2021. Ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee of Kantipur Dental College (reference number: 29/020). One hundred fifty-five patients who underwent prosthesis placement at least 5 years ago in the institution were identified from the hospital record and called, out of which only 80 agreed to be enrolled in the study. Consent was taken and data were collected using questionnaires filled by investigators and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 25. Point estimate at 90% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and percentage for binary data. Results: Out of 80 patients, the prostheses survived in 72 (90%) (90% Confidence Interval 84.48-95.51). The mean duration for which the prostheses survived in the mouth was 73.33±13.493 months with minimum 28 and maximum 98 months. Conclusions: This study showed that the survival after five years of resin-bonded fixed dental metal ceramic was high. The study's findings are comparable with international studies.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the sexual activity of older adults, to understand their knowledge attitude and practice(KAP) regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STD) and to perform correlation analyses of STD symptoms in this population.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 585 subjects from counties in eastern China. Data was collected from unified questionnaires; descriptive statistics were used for demographic characteristics and sexual activity, which used student t test, to compare the different groups, and multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the dependence of influential factors.Results: 24.62% of participants were reported as sexually active. The subjects still work and the main income from personal salary was higher than other individuals . Furthermore, when participants monthly income or expenses was more than 1000 RMB, they seemed to have a higher sexual activity. Gender and monthly income were dependent on influential factors related to sexual activity. 54.7% showed good awareness of STD, but only 7.96% of them consistently and correctly used condoms; moreover, 21.03% report to have previously suffered from any STD symptoms. Sexual behavior, use of condoms and commercial sexual behavior were dependent on influential factors of sexual activity.Conclusions: Sexual needs and sexual health of older adults should not be neglected, effective strategies should be drafted for such population.

Introduction: Fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) are still preferred owing to theirdurability, esthetics, cost-effectiveness, adequate retention and lack of a surgical procedure.These restorations generally demonstrate longer life and durability in clinical service. Despitethe high survival rates, FDP complications are frequently encountered. Although severalstudies have reported on complications associated with FDPs, there is a lack of a standardand universal reporting system for FDP failures. Objectives: To evaluate FDP failures using aneasy classification scheme relevant to all conventional FDP failures. To assess the prevalenceof FDP failures based on this system. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: MargallaInstitute of Health Sciences (MIHS), Rawalpindi. Period: From 20th July 2014 to 20th January2015. Materials and Methods: Subjects reporting to the outpatient department with complaintsof failed crowns or bridges were included in the study. FDP failures were classified accordingto Manappallil’s classification. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 24. Descriptive statisticswere calculated. Results: Majority (31.6%) of the FDP failures were classified as Class I failureswhile the second most common FDP failures belonged to Class IV with a prevalence of 30.1%.Majority of the study subjects had been wearing FDPs for a period of 2 – 5 years while a few(2%) reported a history of use of FDP for more than 15 years. Conclusion: Class I failures arethe most prevalent failures in FPDs.

Patient satisfaction (PS) is an essential indicator of the quality of physiotherapy services. However, regarding Libya, there has been a dearth of research on PS. This cross-sectional study aimed to measure PS with outpatient physiotherapy services and to examine the sociodemographic factors that influence the levels of satisfaction in Libya. Patient satisfaction with physiotherapy services was assessed using a reliable, valid, and structured questionnaire. Data were collected from 501 patients, and the participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 79 (mean ± standard deviation = 47.19 ± 12.8), with more females (n = 312) than males (n = 189). Participants were satisfied or very satisfied with the physiotherapy they received in the domains that measure PS. The highest percentage of satisfaction was in the physiotherapists’ attributes and ability to provide detailed explanations to their patients. Patient satisfaction was also associated with gender and occupation, with females and unemployed patients reporting higher satisfaction rates. This highlights the value of surveys administered to patients during treatments, as well as the value of strategies to address the influential factors for the improvement of PS in public physiotherapy clinics in Libya.
