The GGS is a reproducible method of grading the severity of NLF wrinkles. Treatment effectiveness of a dermal filler can be reliably evaluated using the GGS by comparing "live" assessments with the standard GGS photographic panel.
DGE is a firm HA gel that required significantly less volume and fewer touch-ups to provide equivalent efficacy to NASHA for NLF correction; both dermal gels were well tolerated. DGE will provide a comfortable and cost-effective dermal filler option for clinicians and patients.

S15Objectives To compare the 6-month clinical performance of a "universal" adhesive in non-carious Class V lesions using four different adhesive strategies.
Materials and Methods21 patients participated in this study, in which 70 Class V restorations were placed. The restorations were randomly assigned into four experimental groups according to different adhesive strategies of Scotchbond Universal Adhesive (SBU, 3M ESPE): A. 3-step etch-andrinse: 34% phosphoric acid (PA, Scotchbond Universal Etchant, 3M ESPE) and application of SBU followed by one coat of the non-solvated bonding resin Scotchbond Multi-Purpose Adhesive (SBMPA, 3M ESPE); B. 2-step etch-and-rinse: 34% PA followed by SBU; C. 2-step selfetch: SBU followed by one coat of SBMPA; D. 1-step self-etch: SBU alone. All restorations were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months by two blind observers using the USPHS criteria. Statistical analysis was performed with the non-parametrical tests Kruskal-Wallis, Mann Whitney U and Wilcoxon (p<0.05). Results Only one restoration from the group 1-step/SBU was lost at six months. Marginal adaptation was the only criterion for which statistically worse scores were measured after 6 months (p<0.01). Significantly more bravo scores were detected when SBU was used following a self-etch strategy. The restorations performed with SBU as 1-step self-etch adhesive exhibited a significantly deterioration of the marginal adaptation after 6 months.
ConclusionsRestorations performed with SBU under a self-etch strategy showed worse marginal adaptation after 6 months of clinical use compared to those with SBU under an etch-and-rinse strategy. The addition of a nonsolvated hydrophobic coating (SBMPA) did not influence the clinical performance.
Recursive frame analysis (RFA) is both an advanced qualitative research method and a therapeutic tool that is used to map psychotherapy discourse. RFA tracks the therapeutic conversation to show how the therapy talk moves from one act to another. This paper describes the implementation of a training process for family therapy students in a family therapy clinic and the student therapists’ experiences of learning through this process, called Naming the Session. We present the organic development of the training process, its roots in RFA, and the student therapists’ perceptions of how Naming the Session impacted them as trainees. We further present how Naming the Session was useful in the growth of supervisors-in-training who were also a part of this training process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
