Objective:
The beneficial mechanical properties of zirconia, together with the adhesive techniques, provide a wide range of clinical applications, including the construction of thin structures and minimally invasive adhesive restorations.
Clinical Considerations:
A periodontal disease-related missing maxillary central incisor, in a pregnant patient with chronic periodontal disease in the first trimester of pregnancy, and with type II diabetes treated with resin-bonded fixed partial denture using the missing tooth cemented to a zirconia framework and then bonded to the abutment teeth.
Conclusions:
According to the systemic conditions presented in this case report, using a low-cost technology and the missing tooth it was possible to obtain an easier and satisfactory esthetic and functional result.
Clinical Significance:
The mechanical properties of zirconia made it possible to treat a pregnant patient with chronic periodontal disease in the first trimester of pregnancy, and with type II diabetes with a thin zirconia framework and minimally invasive adhesive restorations.

RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...
