The aim of the present study was to evaluate fatigue cyclic and static resistance indirect restorations with different preparation designs made either lithium disilicate (LS) or polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN). Eighty-four (n = 84) molars were chosen, endodontically treated, prepared standardized MOD cavities. randomly divided into 6 groups 14) taking account “preparation design’’ (occlusal veneer 1.2 mm occlusal thickness; overlay 1.6 adhesive crown 2 thickness) “CAD/CAM...
The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the hardness and shrinkage stress (SS) six bulk-fill resin composites. To microhardness (MH), ten 6 mm specimens were prepared using a metal mold for each selected composite irradiated from top side 40 s an LED light. After 24 h storage, Vickers MH evaluated on upper, lower lateral sides specimens. SS evaluation then performed with universal machine, which contraction force generated by specimen placed between two cylinders during after light...
Today, two different types of CAD-CAM fabrication methods for complete denture bases are available besides the conventional protocols: a subtractive milling process from prepolymerized block polymethylmethacrylate and an additive manufacturing that built base using light-cured liquid in VAT-polymerization process. The aim this study was to evaluate compare accuracy precision prosthetic made with technologies them method muffle. From results obtained, 3D printing dentures show statistically...
Abstract Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of extra‐short implants (≤6.5 mm) inserted with one‐stage versus two‐stage technique in adjacent sites upper or lower jaw. Materials and Methods In this split‐mouth multicenter study, were randomly divided into two groups according to healing phase: technique. Primary outcome measures implant survival, success, prosthodontic complications. Secondary measurements were: stability quotient (ISQ) collected at surgery time (T0), after 3 (T3) 12...
Recently, tissue-level implants with a convergent collar have been introduced. While different studies investigated the outcomes of this implant design in rehabilitation single teeth, its use full-arch has yet to be investigated. The present case report describes clinical immediate loading using implants, and without implant-abutment units, 2 years follow-up. A female patient mandibular terminal dentition high level bone resorption (distal areas few millimeters residual vertical dimension...
The aim of this in vitro study was to compare three disinfection protocols biofilm-coated machined (MAC) and acid etched (SLA) commercial pure Grade 4 Titanium disks. Samples were infected with a vial polymicrobial biofilm simulate peri-implantitis vitro. Seventeen MAC twenty SLA titanium disks randomly assigned to: (1) glycine powder air-flow (GYPAP) for 1 min; (2) local delivered triple paste antibiotic composed by gel mixture ciprofloxacin, metronidazole, clarithromycin (3MIX) h; (3)...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability prosthetic screws after applying cyclic loadings in an "all-on-four" rehabilitation model with OT Bridge system. tested both and without anterior screws. Four implant analogues following concept were inserted edentulous mandibular resin model. An system a Cr-Co framework fabricated. Depending on presence or absence one two analogues, three groups created, i.e., Gr.1: tightening screws, Gr.2: Control Group: four Each single group underwent...
To investigate the long-term implant survival rate and marginal bone loss (MBL) of implants with different variables associated over an observational period at least 20 years.
The aims of the present case report are to describe non-surgical management in addition hyaluronic acid application two gingival recessions with cleft and perform a narrative review on newest evidence treatment recessions. A 47-year-old female patient dentine hypersensitivity pain during brushing has type 1 recession red Stillman's 1.4 1.5. defects have been treated Gracey curette n° 7/8 cause bleeding. Sodium hyaluronate gel applied sulcus both elements affected. Three months after tissue...
Abstract Background Fully adjustable articulators and pantographs record reproduce individual mandibular movements. Although these instruments are accurate, they operator-dependant time-consuming. Pantographic recording is affected by inter intra operator variability in the individuation of clinical reference points afterwards reading pantographic themselves. Finally only border movements can be reproduced. Methods Bionic Jaw Motion system based on two components: a jaw movement analyzer...
The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the external marginal gap variation with a 3D quantitative method and residual fracture resistance after cyclic fatigue endodontically treated molars restored overlays different materials, without fiber posts-supported buildups. Forty-eight human maxillary were selected, treated, prepared standardized MOD cavities randomly allocated into 6 groups considering “core strategy” (build-up composite resin; build-up resin supported by post);...
The aim of the present study was to investigate accuracy a new digital impression system, comparing it plaster technique in realization full-arch implant-supported metal frameworks.We took 11 scans (8 upper maxilla and 3 lower jaw) on sample nine patients previously rehabilitated with fixed screw-retained prostheses following Columbus Bridge Protocol (CBP) four six implants (total: 51) since at least 4 months. Two impressions were taken for each dental arch: one analogic using pick-up...
The present article aims to describe the management of a malpractice dental implant case in patient with history oral bisphosphonates (BF) intake (alendronic acid every 15 days for 20 years) and perform narrative review recently published articles (2019–2023) on topic. A female rehabilitated 18 nails mandible years ago underwent two surgeries; first one included explantation nails; second insertion implants anterior region. At last follow-up (21 months from surgery one) no complications nor...
The aim of the present observational study was to investigate application transmucosal tissue-level implants in immediate loading full-arch rehabilitation with different variables associated.Patients needing a implant were recruited and rehabilitated four tissue level implants. Data related implants' diameters lengths, jaw distributions, presence angulated abutments collected. following outcomes evaluated: survival rate, marginal bone loss (MBL), Plaque Index (PI), bleeding on probing (BoP),...
Objectives: The purpose of this clinical study is to compare implant full-arch intraoral scans taken immediately after placement with those obtained tissue healing in patients rehabilitated implant-supported fixed prostheses. Methods: Between September 2023 and March 2024, a total 19 compromised residual dentition (6 women; 13 men) were using 4-to-6 loaded post-extraction implants. These implants supported screw-retained prostheses either the lower jaw (9 patients) or upper (10 patients)....
The present study aimed to evaluate the wear rate of polymer-infiltrated network composites and ceramics against enamel in a bruxism-simulated scenario. Ninety-six (n = 96) molars were divided into six groups 16) according their occlusal material: group 1-a ceramic (PINC); 2-a second (PINC2); 3-nanohybrid resin-based composite (CO); 4-cubic zirconia (ZR); 5-lithium disilicate (LS); 6-sound (EN). A laser scanner was used digitalize all surfaces before after fatigue test, which conducted with...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be harvested from different sites in the oral cavity, representing a reservoir of useful for regenerative purposes. As direct comparisons between at least two types MSCs deriving same patient are surprisingly rare scientific literature, we isolated and investigated osteoinductive potential dental pulp (DPSCs) buccal fat pad (BFPSCs). were third molar pads 12 patients. The number viable was quantified through manual count. Proliferation osteodifferentiation...
