objectives: this study sought to assess the effects of length and inclination of implants on stress distribution in an implant and terminal abutment teeth in an implant assisted-removable partial denture (rpd) using three-dimensional (3d) finite element analysis (fea).   materials and methods: in this in vitro study, a 3d finite element model of a partially dentate mandible with a distal extens...

background: dental students have reported a high prevalence of psychological stress and the causes are associated with the challenging dental environmental and demographic factors. this study aimed to conduct a preliminary investigation on dental students’ stress status, using a sample of first-to-third-year bachelor of dental surgery students in an australian university. special interests incl...

conclusions stress had a moderate level in dental students of study, which requires more attention. due to the most level of stress in students of fifth and sixth years, it is recommended to take specific actions for this sensitive period of dentistry education. background studying dentistry environment is important to assess stress causes, which is harmful for educational system. objectives th...

objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the transverse strength of one brand of denture base material repaired with two autopolymerized acrylic resins with and without wire reinforcement. materials and methods: eighty samples (2.5×10×65 mm3) were fabricated and divided into five groups. the control group was left intact. groups b and d specimens were repaired with autopolymerizing ...

background: as various implant geometries present different biomechanical behaviors, the purpose of this work was to study stress distribution around tapered and cylindrical threaded implant geometries using three-dimensional finite element stress analysis.     methods: seven implant models were constructed using the cad system. after digitized models of mandibular section, the crowns were crea...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa microsoftinternetexplorer4 background: the aim of research was to study spiral family implant by finite element analysis (fea) inserted in different bone qualities connected with abutments of different angulations. methods: the biomechanical behaviour of 4.2 × 13 mm dental implants, connecting screw, straight and 15° and 25° angulated abutments subj...

Background and Aim: Dentistry is among the most stressful professions. Dentists’ occupational stress usually begins during their university education. This study aimed to assess the relationship between the level of stress experienced by dental students during endodontic treatment and their coping strategies. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on 204 fifth and sixth ...

A commonly held view is that chronic stress has an adverse affect on academic performance. Because dental students typically report high levels of stress, they may be at particular risk. This research examined the relationship between perceived stress and academic performance in 202 dental students enrolled in an Australian dental school. In this study, four key stress factors labelled "self-ef...
