Objectives: To evaluate the suitability of intraoral scanners (IOSs) to analyze the fabrication trueness of titanium complete-arch implant-supported frameworks by comparing with an industrial-grade scanner and investigate ...

The surface properties and color stability of interim crown materials may vary depending on the toothbrushing procedure. This study aimed to investigate the effects of toothbrushing and different toothpastes on the surface ...

Statement of problem. Ceramics are widely used for anterior restorations; however, clinical color reproduction still constitutes a challenge particularly when the ceramic crowns are used on titanium implant abutments. ...

Polymeric materials are inevitably used in dental applications. Dental prostheses are cleaned during their service life, and surface roughness is an important criterion for these polymeric materials. In this study, the ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of implant angulation and its possible influence on prosthetic connection as regards implant/tooth strains in a combined implant and natural tooth abutment fixed ...

Statement of problem. Different surface treatments have been applied to zirconia restorations in clinical practice to increase the bond strength between zirconia and cement, but their effect on flexural strength is unknown. ...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to compare the biologic and prosthetic outcomes of early- and conventionally-placed implants supporting fixed prostheses. Materials and Methods: Using inclusion/exclusion criteria, ...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of non-thermal plasma systems with and without two favorable surface treatment techniques on the surface roughness (R-a) and shear bond strength (SBS) of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) ...

The present study evaluated the effects of cleaning methods on resin bond strength to contaminated monolithic zirconia. A total of 180 bar-shaped monolithic zirconia specimens (12 mm x 4 mm x 1.2 mm) were abraded with ...

Statement of problem. The clinical performance of implant-retained overdentures (IODs) with plastic bar clips made of different materials in the same design and dimensions may vary according to the patient's daily home ...
