Abstract There are many different ways to measure the bond strength of direct esthetic restorations to various dental substrates. Unfortunately, most methods cannot measure bond strengths immediately after a restoration has been placed. This lack of clinically-relevant information seriously affects the clinician's ability to select and use various bonding agents and procedures. The aim of this article is to provide a very detailed method for immediate measurement of in vitro bond strengths of direct bonded esthetic restorations. It focuses on the steps that should be taken to select and prepare various tooth substrates for bond strength testing, the steps to “restore” various tooth substrates, and to measure the immediate in vitro bond strength. A fundamental understanding of a standardized testing protocol should provide clinicians with a clearer appreciation of bond strengths associated with various bonding procedures. Citation Talic YF.

Background: Electroencephalogram (EEG) is used in evaluating thalamocortical function in comatose patients. EEG reactivity is increasingly being recognized as a potentially important predictor of outcome in comatose patients. There are no existing guidelines or standardized testing for EEG reactivity assessment. We will report the use of a clinically implemented standardized reactivity testing protocol in comatose patients to determine accurate prognosis. Methods: In this retrospective study we report results from standardized reactivity testing from January 2016 to May 2016. Five stimuli (Calling name, clapping, nasal tickle, noxious stimulus, tracheal suctioning) were applied at one minute intervals in comatose patients of all etiologies. The EEG background reactivity will be analyzed by two independent electroencephalographers ad correlated to clinical outcome. Results: The methods for establishing EEG reactivity and the inter-rater reliability in determining EEG reactivity will be reported. Conclusions: EEG background reactivity is likely beneficial in determining prognosis. However, reliable methods for eliciting and determining EEG reactivity in comatose patients are necessary.
