A total 96 standard specimens (48 48 DLP) were analyze tensile flexural materials. 80 guide (40 40 from each method classified into four groups: CG (control group); G1,...

The use of maxillary expanders has the effect distancing bones at level median palatal suture. During expansion, main resistance forces occur zygomatico-maxillary sutures, and not in suture, which is basic principle on this method based. In observational study, we evaluated possible complications skeletal dentoalveolar after split using miniscrew-assisted rapid expansion (MARPE) associated or with corticopuncture (CP) therapy. study included 27 patients transverse deficiency unilateral...

Interproximal enamel reduction, also known as stripping, is a common orthodontic procedure that reduces the mesiodistal diameter of teeth, allowing for balance available space in dental arches. The aim this study was to assess surface microhardness resulting from application currently methods interproximal reduction. Forty-two extracted human permanent teeth were divided into six different groups, each subjected therapeutic stripping using various (i.e., diamond burs, abrasive strips 90 μm,...

Impression materials are used to record and reproduce the exact morphology of patient’s oral cavity. The dimensional stability a material is its ability maintain accuracy recording details cavity for longer period time, including time during imprinting immediately after. aim this study was evaluate three different impression commonly in dental practice with aid an extra-oral three-dimensional (3D) scanner using vitro analysis. A typodont tooth model maxillary arch mandibular arch, containing...

Cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloys are widely utilized in dentistry. The salivary pH is a significant factor, which affects the characteristics and behavior of dental through corrosion. This study aimed to evaluate corrosion artificial saliva with different values (3, 5.7, 7.6) two commercial Co-Cr manufactured by casting milling. Corrosion resistance was determined polarization technique, tests were carried out at 37 ± 1 °C, Carter Brugirard saliva. After electrochemical parameters, it can be...
