Abstract Statement of problem Information regarding the influence of cements and material thickness on the final color of monolithic zirconia restorations is lacking. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study…
Abstract Statement of problem Osseointegrated implants can be prone to occlusal overloading because of the absence of the periodontal ligament and limited tactile sensitivity. However, current scientific evidence of the…
Abstract With the transition to digital workflows, moving from a digital platform to an articulator for laboratory procedures such as adding porcelain or luting titanium abutments is sometimes required. This…
Abstract Statement of problem Recent resin-based and ceramic-based computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) materials have been used to restore endodontically treated teeth. Adaptation of the restoration is important for…
Abstract Statement of problem Despite the high prevalence of posterior cracked teeth, questions remain regarding the best course of action for managing these teeth. Purpose The purpose of this clinical…
Abstract Mesial tilting of adjacent teeth may appear after the removal of a tooth, leading to a lack of restorative space. This dental technique presents a method of uprighting a…
Abstract Digital surgical planning for immediately loaded dental implants can be a predictable and accurate procedure, with the interim prosthesis also designed digitally. If the planning and execution are meticulous,…
Abstract The functionality of a new overdenture attachment (LOCATOR R-Tx) was described for different clinical situations: a conventional mandibular implant overdenture (IOD) retained by 2 implants, a straightforward chairside maintenance…
Abstract The recent evolution of digital technologies in dentistry has enabled virtual 3D diagnostic analysis of a dentition before treatment, allowing for virtual, minimally invasive treatment planning. In this report, an…
Abstract The advancements in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) serve to facilitate the management of clinical challenges in restorative dentistry. This technique article describes the fabrication of implant-supported restorations…
Abstract Statement of problem Dentists must regularly determine the best adhesive cementation protocol for glass-ceramic restorations on posterior teeth. The authors are aware of few in vivo follow-up studies and no…
Abstract A microlocking implant prosthetic system has recently been developed to address the limitations of conventional screw- and cement-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. This prosthesis system consists of a precision-machined…
Abstract A digital process for designing and manufacturing a cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) surgical template for static computer-aided implant surgery (s-CAIS) is described. The use of Co-Cr provides the advantage of a…
Abstract Statement of problem Despite an overall high survival rate for dental implants, the effectiveness of implant retreatment remains unclear. Purpose The purpose of this systematic review was to examine…
Fig. 6.1 As highlighted in a 2007 review by Hanke et al., the data currently available on the relationship between occlusion and posture are discordant: some studies claim that these…
