introdouction: overhang refers to the extension of restoration material from the cavity. it has an important role in decay, plaque accumulation and periodontal disease, so the aim of this study is determining the frequency of restoration overhang in patients in anzali, guilan. materials and methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study was completed using 293 patients who visited for routine ...

objectives: fracture strength is an important factor influencing the clinical long-term success of implant-supported prostheses especially in high stress situations like excessive crown height space (chs). the purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of implant-supported fixed partial dentures (fpds) with excessive crown height, fabricated from three different materials. mater...

In literature, the primary function of a dental cement is to fill the space between restorative material (definitive or provisional) and tooth preparation (or implant abutment), as well as to enhance the resistance to restoration dislodgement during function [1,2]. Of utmost importance, the long-term success of a restoration is heavily dependent on the proper selection and manipulation of denta...

Introduction: The restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a topic that has been studied extensively but it is still a challenge for dental practitioners. The aim of this study was to evaluate fracture resistance, fracture patterns and fracture location of endodontically treated human maxillary premolars restored with direct and indirect composite resin and ceramic restoration. Methods: E...

introduction: coronal microleakage may significantly reduce the prognosis of endodontic treatment. temporary restorative materials have a crucial role in preventing the infection of root canals between and after endodontic treatment. this in vitro study was designed to evaluate the coronal microleakage of three temporary restorative materials used in endodontics: coltosol, cavisol and cina. mat...

statement of the problem: porcelain laminate veneer is an esthetic restoration used as an alternative to full veneer crowns and requires minimal tooth preparation. in restoration with porcelain laminate veneers, both the longevity of the laminate and conservation of the sound tooth structure are imperative. purpose: the present study aimed to investigate the shear bond strength of porcelain lam...

o bjectives: caries and dental trauma are common reasons for primary anterior teeth restorations in children. this non-control clinical trial was designed to eva- luate crown restorations reinforced with a sectioned file post for the restoration of severely damaged primary maxillary incisors. materials and methods: thirty-eight primary maxillary incisors of 12 children (3-5 years old) with earl...

introduction: the purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the sealing ability of the readymade temporary filling and hand mixed materials by assessing coronal microleakage. materials & methods: standardized access cavities were prepared in 80 intact human permanent premolar teeth. they were divided randomly into four experimental groups (n=20). the teeth were restored using one of the te...
