statement of problem: the connector area is the weakest zone of an all-ceramic fixed partial denture (fpd), where most catastrophic failures of the prostheses tend to occur. purpose: the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the convergence angle of abutments on the fracture resistance of three-unit fixed partial dentures made of ips-empress2. materials and methods: forty extract...

statement of problem: targis restorations provide good esthetic and clinical success; however, improving marginal accuracy requires further investigations. purpose: the aim of this was to study evaluate the effect of relining on the marginal accuracy of ceromer crowns. material and methods: one ivorine maxillary central incisor was prepared for targis crown. 10 acrylic models were duplicated fr...

Until recently, angled abutments have been the only solution to correcting the trajectory of the emergence profile of labially inclined implants in the maxilla. However, the clinical implications of angled abutments reveal several shortcomings. Newly designed angulated implants with a 12-degree restorative platform angulation are an alternative to angled abutments. The purpose of this article w...

Increased life span of humans and dynamic development of prosthetic treatment has caused that increased number of people are using removable dentures for longer periods of time. The materials used to make those prosthesis are becoming a potential pathogen factor for oral mucosa being in contact with this material. Prosthetic stomatopathy occurs in 20% to 70% of the patients who are using remova...

OBJECTIVE Acrylic resin denture bases undergo dimensional changes during polymerization. Injection molding techniques are reported to reduce these changes and thereby improve physical properties of denture bases. The aim of this study was to compare dimensional changes of specimens processed by conventional and injection-molding techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS SR-Ivocap Triplex Hot resin wa...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Adhesion and cohesion have important roles in denture retention, and attempts have been made to improve the wettability of the acrylic resin material by surface treatments. PURPOSE This study examined the initial and subsequent wettability of an acrylic resin denture base material treated under air or argon plasma atmosphere before and after exposure to air or distilled w...

This series of articles describes about concepts of occlusion in the complete denture, fixed partial denture, and implants. This article discusses about the evolution of different concepts of nonbalanced occlusion and occlusal schemes in complete denture occlusion.

Background Lately, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) has broadly been successfully employed in dentistry. The CAD/CAM systems have recently become commercially available for fabrication of complete dentures, and are considered as an alternative technique to conventionally processed acrylic resin bases. However, they have not yet been fully investigated. Objectiv...
