Total 10 samples were divided into 2 groups, 5 firs...

BACKGROUND Classic self-curing temporary cements obstruct the translucence of provisional restorations. New dual-cure esthetic temporary cements need investigation and comparison with classic cements to ensure that they are equally retentive and provide adequate translucence. The objective is to analyze by means of traction testing in a in vitro study the retention of five temporary cements. ...

We propose a method for restoring the surface of a tooth crown so that the pose and anatomical features of the tooth will work well for chewing. The system of teeth has been modeled with a 3D statistical multi-object shape model build from 3D scans of dental cast models. The restoration is carried out using the shape model statistics in a Bayesian framework to calculate the most probable tooth ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge and practice of implant retained restorations (IRR) among senior dental students in Saudi Arabia. METHODS Four hundred questionnaires were distributed among senior dental students of five dental schools in Saudi Arabia. Student's knowledge was assessed regarding which implant restoration [cement retained restoration (CRR) or screw re...

objectives: several studies have assessed the characteristics and properties of silorane-based composites and adhesive systems. considering the extensive application of tooth-whitening agents, possible deteriorative effects of tooth bleaching agents on these restorative materials must be studied. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an in-office carbamide peroxide-based tooth ble...

Abstract A margin line, defined as the boundary curve of contact area between a prepared tooth and dental restoration, considerably influences end shape restoration design. Most studies that have extracted lines from mesh models representing teeth faced convergence problems in path search therefore pose inconvenience specifying multiple input points intermediate goal points. To overcome these p...

BACKGROUND The Taiwan government adopted National Health Insurance (NHI) in 1995, providing universal health care to all citizens. It was financed by mandatory premium contributions made by employers, employees, and the government. Since then, the government has faced increasing challenges to control NHI expenditures. The aim of this study was to determine trends in the provision of dental serv...

INTRODUCTION Coronal leakage is one of the constant concerns in routine dental practice. It is one of the factors responsible for the failure of root canal therapy. Permanent restorations should be given as soon as possible after the completion of root canal therapy. If unavoidable, provisional restoration should be given in such a way that it maximally reduced the leakage of microorganisms and...

When I graduated from dental school in 1987, dental amalgam was essentially the only material available for the direct restoration of carious posterior teeth. Dentin bonding was in its first generation of technological development in restorative dentistry, and composite resin restoration of posterior teeth was carried out with caution by some dentists, but avoided by most. Even at that time, th...
