The most significant step in fabricating an accurate implant prosthesis is to transfer the precise 3D intraoral location of the implants to the definitive cast. Various impression techniques have been…
Abstract Statement of problem No information is available on roughness and stainability of acrylic resins polymerized by experimental microwave cycles after immersion in stainable liquids and simulated brushing. Purpose The…
Abstract Statement of problem Comparative assessment of the effectiveness of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies used to fabricate complete-coverage restorations is needed. A quantitative assessment requires precise documentation of…
Abstract Statement of problem Studies assessing the comparative denture base adaptation performance of the pour technique for various palatal vault depths are sparse. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study…
Abstract Statement of problem Three-dimensional (3D)–printed casts are used successfully as diagnostic casts in orthodontics. However, whether 3D-printed casts are sufficiently accurate to be used as definitive casts for fixed…
Abstract Statement of problem Which impression material, impression tray type, and implant impression technique combination produces the most accurate complete-arch impression is unclear. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study…
Abstract Statement of problem Accurate marginal and internal fit of dental restorations are essential for their long-term success. The fit of zirconia restorations prepared using digital scan systems has not…
Abstract Statement of problem Although studies have reported the trueness and precision of intraoral scanners (IOSs), studies addressing the accuracy of IOSs in reproducing inlay preparations are lacking. Purpose The…
Abstract This technical report describes 2 workflows for fabricating computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) milled complete dentures (CDs). The first technique illustrates a manufacturer-independent workflow using conventional clinical steps…
Abstract Statement of problem Information concerning the effect of airborne-particle abrasion before zirconia sintering on its strength after aging is lacking. Purpose The purpose of this in vitro study was to…
