The aim of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance and behavior monolithic zirconia crowns in accordance with preparation design aging simulation method.MATERIALS AND METHODS.An upper first molar prepared sequentially three different designs: shoulderless preparation, 0.4 mm chamfer 0.8 preparation.For each design, 30 were fabricated.After cementation on Cr-Co alloy dies, following artificial procedures performed: (1) thermal cycling mechanical loading (TCML): 5000 cycles 5°C-55°C...
MorphoDent, a computer‐assisted learning program designed to teach the anatomy of adult dentition, was introduced into curriculum dentistry at University Saarland in Homburg, Germany. Thirty‐six second‐year students School Dentistry were morphoDent alongside traditional lectures dental anatomy. Questionnaires that evaluated students’ perceptions virtual as well aspects functionality educational objectives developed and distributed students. Online tests performed compared with examination....
To investigate nursing home managers' perceptions and attitudes towards oral health care access to dental services for aged facility residents.Questionnaires containing 28 closed-ended questions were mailed all 114 homes in Saarland, Germany. Descriptive statistics calculated response items.Facility rate was 39%. None of the this study offered systematic care. Initial screening carried out only one facility. In 81%, examinations took place if required. Although stationary equipment available...
The scientific evidence concerning prosthodontic care for the shortened dental arch (SDA) is sparse. This randomized multicenter study aimed to compare two common treatment options: removable partial prostheses (RPDPs) molar replacement vs. no (SDA). One of hypotheses was that follow-up differs between patients with RPDPs and SDAs during 5-year period. Two hundred fifteen complete loss in one jaw were included study. Molars either replaced by or not according SDA concept. A mean number 4.2...
Cooling irrigation during implant bed preparation is mandatory to avoid overheating. Due the surgical guide design, external cooling systems do not reach point of entry burr. Here, a new technique for guided surgery direct rinse burr described. Using computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing additive technology, pin pipe was designed and implemented in template. The performed while connected guide. During surgery, solution directly rinsing at through channel. use seems improve bone...
Abstract This paper presents a roughness measurement of zirconia ceramics, widely used for dental applications. Surface variations caused by the most commonly instruments intraoral grinding and polishing are estimated. The applied technique is simple utilizes speckle properties scattered laser light. It could be easily implemented even in clinic environment. main criteria estimation average size, which varies with zirconia. algorithm size based on normalized autocorrelation approach.
Vasilios Alevizakos, Ass-Prof Dr Med Dent/Gergo Mitov, Prof Dent/Alexander Max Ahrens, Dent/Constantin von See, Dent: Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate if repeated use pilot and depth drills for implant site preparation in combination with resterilization leads any significant changes cutting edges or times. Materials Methods: With different lengths widths (pilot, parallel, tapered), osteotomies were performed under constant conditions pig jaws. After each osteotomy, the...
Abstract Objectives The aim of the present clinical study was to determine stability color and resistance against abrasion attrition provisional single implant restorations. Material Methods A group 16 patients were treated with crowns made Telio CAD. Shortly before insertion photographed scanned using a 3D‐laser scanner. After 8 weeks usage, again. vertical occlusal wear changes between restorations measured. Results plane original crown showed statistically significant reduction 0.052 mm ±...
Abstract Different instrumentation procedures of the alveolar ridge expansion technique (ARST) with or without Guided Bone Regeneration have proven to be effective for successful implant placement in cases bone width between 3mm and 6mm. Conventional splitting techniques require flap arising. This technical note demonstrates a method flapless guided splitting. For this purpose, newly developed surgical guide internal irrigation channels was used. Using CAD‐CAM additive technology, narrow...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness screencast training videos for users from different professional backgrounds on basis quality and quantity virtual 3D implant planning as evaluated using assessment software. Methods Participants in were dental students (n = 21), technicians 16), or practicing dentists 16) with no knowledge software CoDiagnostiX any experience planning. They randomly divided into 2 groups: participants control group presented CBCT...
Introduction: Masticatory pressure increases in the distal areas of dentition. This should be considered when restoring partially edentulous patients with a metal-free fixed partial denture (FPD). An alternative abutment preparation design can used order to increase materials’ volume most fracture-prone “connector area” an FPD. The increased size connection might positively influence constructions’ mechanical durability, thereby increasing its success...
