The objectives of this study were to test the fracture strength in vitro laminate veneers, partial veneers and composite restorations after aging analyze failure mode. Forty extracted, sound human teeth selected divided into four groups: 1) Control group (CG); 2) Conventional Laminate Veneer (CLV); 3) Partial (PLV); 4) Direct Composite Resin (DCR). veneer preparations with incisal overlap made ...

Since the turn of the millennium, multi-phase magnetoelectric (ME) composites have been subject to attention and development, and giant ME effects have been found in laminate composites of piezoelectric and magnetostrictive layers. From an application perspective, the practical usefulness of a magnetic sensor is determined not only by the output signal of the sensor in response to an incident m...

With the appearance of all-ceramic systems, providing a choice of framework porcelains and allowing the same material to be used for the veneer, it is now possible to select the ideal structure in terms of both function and aesthetics. Silicate ceramics allow porcelain laminate veneers and crowns to be used in the anterior region, providing excellent aesthetics; while for the posterior area, wh...

PURPOSE The aim of this clinical retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical quality, success rate, and estimated survival rate of anterior veneers made of silicate glass-ceramic in a long-term analysis of up to 20 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Anterior teeth in the maxillae and mandibles of 84 patients (38 men, 46 women) were restored with 318 porcelain veneer restorations between 1987 a...

Full-coverage bonded porcelain restorations offer predictable treatment options in dentistry, but a certain amount of tooth material must be removed to allow space for the required thickness of the restorative material. Laminate veneers and inlays are considered minimally invasive, but they also require removal of sound enamel. Sometimes, it may be preferable to extend the veneer preparations b...

UNLABELLED This clinical report describes the treatment of a left maxillary permanent incisor that had a complicated crown-root fracture with multiple fragments and a right maxillary permanent incisor which had an uncomplicated crown fracture. The 17-year-old female patient was presented to Ataturk University's Dentistry Faculty with posttraumatic injuries. The treatment plan included fracture ...

Magnetoelectric laminate composites of piezoelectric/magnetostrictive materials were prepared by stacking and bonding together a PZT disk and two layers of Terfenol-D disks with different directions of magnetostriction. These composites were studied to investigate (i) dependence on the magnetostriction direction of the Terfenol-D disk and (ii) dependence on the direction of the applied ac magne...
