Large samples of adult American black and white males are being studied to determine the extent to which age and race are important factors in craniofacial mophology and growth. It is shown that a number of dentofaical dimensions continue to change throughout adulthood and that the amount and direction of these changes may be race-specific. Applications in orthodontics and prosthetic dentistry ...

Flapless implant surgery is an emerging modality of treatment in implant dentistry that is known to offer several advantages. However, this procedure is inadvisable for situations where there is an absence of labial/buccal bone, reduced width of alveolar ridge, or a need for alveoloplasty to create prosthetic space. This clinical report describes the biologic and prosthodontic consequences of p...

In the oral environment, restorative and prosthetic materials appliances are exposed to chemical, thermal mechanical challenges. The properties of a material define how it responds application physical force. This Special Issue focuses on all recent technology that can enhance used in different branches dentistry. is closed, but topic certainly interest, therefore new research will be needed ex...

In recent years, clinician and dentist's esthetic demand in dentistry have increased rapidly, driven by an enhanced awareness of beauty and esthetics. The ultimate goal in modern restorative dentistry is to achieve "white" and "pink" esthetics in esthetically important zones. "White esthetics" is the natural dentition or the restoration of dental hard tissues with suitable materials. "Pink esth...

the interest of dental research in metal-free restorations has been rising in the last 20 years following the introduction of innovative all-ceramic materials in the daily practice. in particular, high-strength ceramics and related cad/cam techniques have widely increased the clinical indications of metal-free restorations, showing more favorable mechanical characteristics compared to the early...

The use of denture base resin has revolutionized the dental material sciences ever since their discovery. Many prostheses and implants made from polymers have been in use for the last three decades and there is a continuous search for more biocompatible and stronger polymer prosthetic materials. In this review, an attempt has been made to combine the material properties of the polymers used in ...

The polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are the two most well-known of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family. PEKK is a new evolving polymeric material. biomaterials an elastic material with good shock absorbance fracture resistance present ultra-high performance among all thermoplastic composites for excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, high thermal stabilit...

The single-tooth restoration has become one of the most widely used procedures in implant dentistry. Improvements to the abutment implant interface design, wider implant platforms and the increased use of cemented restorations have greatly enhanced this procedure. Nonetheless, limitations in the volume of underlying bone and heavy occlusal loads, with or without parafunctional habits, still con...
