Increased utilization of all ceramic restorations for aesthetic consideration in combination with routine adult orthodontic practice has led to numerous clinical challenges. Obtaining adequate bond strength between the bracket and all-ceramic restoration damage surface during debonding procedure needs be better understood. This study analyzed texture color change glazed bracket-debonded CAD–CAM...

OBJECTIVE This study investigated determinants of bone and blood lead concentrations in 430 lactating Mexican women during the early postpartum period and the contribution of bone lead to blood lead. METHODS Maternal venous lead was measured at delivery and postpartum, and bone lead concentrations, measured with in vivo K-x ray fluorescence, were measured post partum. Data on environmental ex...

Abstract The hare’s fur glazed Jian wares characterized by radial fur-like strips, as one of the typical representatives Chinese ceramics in 10th-13th century (A.D.), were famous for aesthetic values highlighting color sparkling effects tea soup, which indispensable culture. firing technology glaze not only played a crucial role development ceramic history, but also enlightened modern imitation...

This paper discusses and underlines the importance of investigations on post-medieval shipwrecks, particularly for wrecks where archival documentation is also available, in relation to gaining a better knowledge tin-glazed tableware produced Montelupo (Florence, Tuscany). The case Mortella II interesting this sense shows how an exact dating wreck can allow revision chronologies ceramic classes ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the influence of translucency of CAD/CAM ceramic milling blocks on the final color of porcelain veneer cemented using resin cement with two different opacities. MATERIALS AND METHODS A standardized incisal lap preparation was made on a maxillary right central incisor that was duplicated using composite resin material (Z250, A4, 3M ESPE). The resin dies were individual...

Revision rates of total hip arthroplasty have decreased after introducing total hip arthroplasty (THA) using ceramic component, since ceramic components could reduce components wear and osteolysis. The fracture of a ceramic component is a rare but potentially serious event. Thus, ceramic on polyethylene articulation is gradually spotlighted to reduce ceramic component fracture. There are a few ...

Background: Metal ceramic restorations are highly popular and are used for most of the crown and bridge restorations made today. Aims: To evaluate the translucency and fracture strength of two all-ceramic and traditional metal ceramic crowns. Materials and Methods: Thirty crowns of similar size and shape were constructed to fit a standard brass die. Ten crowns were manufactured from each of the...

To systematically review the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and compare the survival rates and complications of all-ceramic fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with those of metal-ceramic FDPs. Eligible studies were retrieved in relevant electronic databases from their inception to June 8th, 2016. Then, quality of the included studies was assessed using Cochrane Collaboration’s tool. Heterogene...
