objectives : marginal adaptation is important for long-term success of full-coverage restorations. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of porcelain firing cycle and different thicknesses of ips e.max core on marginal accuracy of all-ceramic restorations. materials and methods : a standard stainless steel die with 0.8 mm classic chamfer finish line and 10° taper was used in this in...

Twenty-six patients, 5-13 years of age, demonstrated 67 pairs of contralateral occlusal fissure and buccal, or lingual pit carious lesions which were restored with a spherical high-copper amalgam. One restoration of each pah" was allowed to remain as carved, while the other was finished and polished 24 hours after insertion. Each restoration was evaluated clinically by three independent examine...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of preheating on composite resins’ mechanical and physical properties. Preheating of composite resins positively affects the degree of conversion, viscosity, microleakage, marginal adaptation, microhardness and color change however, the flexural strength is adversely affected.  

AIM The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the marginal adaptation of five root-end filling materials. METHODS AND MATERIALS Fifty human single-rooted teeth were resected 3 mm from the apex. Root-end cavities were then prepared using an ultrasonic tip and filled with one of the following materials: silver amalgam without zinc, white MTA-Angelus, white Portland cement (PC), Vitremer...

PURPOSE This study assessed the effect of preparation design on marginal adaptation and also compared the sensitivity and specificity of clinical evaluation techniques for marginal accuracy of cast restorations to stereomicroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three Ivorine molar teeth of different designs were prepared. (A)-A complete crown preparation with buccal shoulder and beveled finish line. ...

This study was performed to examine the success of a conservative cavity preparation using the principle of "sealing for prevention" rather than "extension for prevention." A total of 332 restorations were placed in 243 permanent molars in 114 children aged 6-14 with a mean age of 8 years. After 80 months, 104 restorations were examined for sealant retention, marginal staining, anatomic wear, m...

Domain adaptation is a powerful technique given a wide amount of labeled data from similar attributes in different domains. In real-world applications, there is a huge number of data but almost more of them are unlabeled. It is effective in image classification where it is expensive and time-consuming to obtain adequate label data. We propose a novel method named DALRRL, which consists of deep ...

PURPOSE To review methods used to investigate marginal adaptation of crowns and fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), and to discuss testing variables employed and their influence on results. METHODS Online libraries including PubMed, Scopus, and Ovid were searched for articles evaluating the marginal adaptation of crowns and FDPs using a combination of the keywords: "marginal accuracy," "marginal ...

introduction: this study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of new bioceramic materials, endosequence root repair material (errm putty and errm paste), to that of mineral trioxide aggregate (mta) as root-end filling materials. materials and methods: thirty-six extracted human single-rooted teeth were prepared and obturated with gutta-percha and ah-26 sealer. the roots were resected 3 mm f...
