Abstract This paper reports a rare case of Low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS) that occurred primarily in the parapharyngeal space, in a 57-year-old woman. To the best of our knowledge, this…
Abstract Introduction The utility of CAD/CAM technology in the treatment of mandibular defects has been demonstrated, allowing effective analysis, diagnosis and treatment for bone defects, however the high cost and…
Abstract Chondrocalcinosis is a non-infectious, inflammatory arthropathy which is typically characterized by intra-articular deposition of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals. The occurrence of chondrocalcinosis in the temporomandibular joint is uncommon. This…
Abstract Synovial Chondromatosis (SC) of the Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a rare disorder with an indolent clinical course that leads to nonspecific symptoms, dysfunction, and anatomic distortion of the TMJ….
Abstract Acromegaly is a chronic and progressive disease related to a disorder of growth hormone production. It may present with a variety of clinical signs and a dento-facial deformity and…
Abstract A 12-year-old girl was referred to the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery for a large cystic lesion, which was gradually increasing in size. We diagnosed her with intraosseous…
Highlights • SCH is a rare vascular tumour, even rarer in head and neck region. • SCH is reactive vascular proliferation rather than an angiosarcoma. • Unique pathophysiology influences SCH’s…
Abstract Background Autogenous tooth transplantation of impacted maxillary canines can be considered in cases where traditional treatment options are prone to failure. We report a clinical case of autogenous tooth…
Graphical abstract Highlights • AgNPs cross-linked within glass ionomer cement (GIC) matrices generated antibiofilm effects at the nanocomposite surface. • AgNP-containing GICs had higher compressive strengths and equivalent flexural strengths…
Abstract Objectives Dental plaque build-up on the cervical area adjacent to gingival margins is a trigger factor for secondary caries around restored root caries lesions. Dimethylaminohexadecyl methacrylate (DMAHDM) and amorphous…
Highlights • Transmitted irradiance is affected by surface reflection, attenuation and scattering. • A correction calculating true transmitted irradiance can be implemented. • The model can be applied for individual…
Highlights • The C-factor is the relative thickness of the fully constrained boundary layer. • The boundary-layer thickness is proportional to the specimen’s diameter only. • The optical test presented…
Highlights • Composites with up to 40 wt% of fluorapatite could be made using dual asymmetric centrifugal mixing. • At high filler loads, fluorapatite rods introduced additional toughening mechanisms. •…
Abstract Objective Due to past failures of orthopedic 3Y-TZP femoral implants linked to accelerated tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation ( t → m ), the susceptibility to ‘low-temperature degradation’ or ‘ageing’ of…
Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate the collective influence of material properties and design parameters on the fracture behavior of monolithic dental crowns. Methods Three-dimensional (3D) models ( N…
Graphical abstract Highlights • Material-dependent biomineralization achieved in vitro . • Performance of gold standard acid-etched titanium confirmed in in vitro test system. • Biomineralization leads to functional integration of…
Abstract Objectives Previous studies have shown that the fracture toughness of ceramics can be determined from the fractal dimensions (D) of their fracture surfaces and that the surface should be…
Abstract Objectives The susceptibility of methacrylates to hydrolytic and enzymatic degradation may be a contributing factor limiting the clinical lifespan of resin composite restorations. The elimination of labile ester bonds…
Abstract Objectives To evaluate the effect of time on the Vickers microhardness (VH) at the top and bottom surfaces of six conventional resin-based composites (RBCs) up to twelve weeks after…
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to identify experimental limits of the general reciprocity hypothesis that the same photo-cure outcomes will result from applying essentially constant energy densities,…
