This article describes a 16-year-old male who was referred to the Prosthodontics Department due avulsion of right upper central incisor and fracture left incisor; avulsed tooth lost at accident site. The patient refused have his teeth prepared except for broken so single cantilever retainer denture bridge made with fiber post design ovate pontic. Radiographic examination performed evaluate apic...

BACKGROUND The splinting of an implant and tooth is a rational alternative in some clinical situations. The complex biomechanical aspects of a tooth-implant system are derived from the dissimilar mobility between the osseointegrated implant and the tooth. The aim of this study was to analyze the biomechanics in a tooth-implant splinting system for various bone qualities with different occlusal ...

All-ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPDs) have an esthetic approach for oral rehabilitation. However, metal-ceramic FPDs are best indicated in the posterior area where the follow-up studies found a lower failure rate. This 2D finite element study compared the stress distribution on 3-unit all-ceramic and metal-ceramic FPDs and identified the areas of major risk of failure. Three FPD models were...

ackground and aim: it is important to evaluate the effect of the type of filling material on deformation and strength of tooth after filling and also the effect of filling depth on quality of restoration of a decayed tooth. material and methods: the orthopantomogram (opg) of the first and second molars of a 28-year-old man was made and the teeth were 3d modeled. the stress-deformation analysis ...

tooth fracture is a common dental problem. by extension of cavity dimensions, the remaining tooth structure weakens and occlusal forces may cause tooth fracture. the aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the fracture resistance of teeth restored with direct and indirect composite restorations.sixty-five sound maxillary premolar teeth were chosen and randomly divided into five groups eac...

objectives: this study sought to compare the push-out bond strength of two bulk-fill and one conventional composite to intracanal dentin in primary anterior teeth. materials and methods: this in vitro, experimental study was conducted on 39 primary anterior teeth, which were randomly divided into three groups. after cleaning and shaping, the root canals were filled with metapex in such a way th...
