ABSTRACT Background: With regard to implant‐supported prostheses, date no technique has been proven guarantee a completely passive fit of prosthetic frameworks. Several clinical variables may affect the precision impressions, particularly in presence implants. Purpose: To compare accuracy implant impressions made with different materials, lengths impression coping connections, and not parallel position Materials Methods: A calibrated testing device allowing reproducible standardized...
Biomimetics, biomechanics and tissue engineering are three multidisciplinary fields that have been contemplated in this research to attain the objective of improving prosthetic implants reliability. Since testing mathematical methods closely interlaced, a promising approach seemed be combination vitro vivo experiments with computer simulations (in silico). An innovative biomimetics new synthetic structure providing microenvironment, which is mechanically coherent nutrient conducive for...
This study aimed to assess the clinical performance of lithium disilicate restorations supported by natural teeth or implants. Eight hundred sixty adhesive restorations, including crowns on and implant abutments, veneers, onlays, were made in 312 patients. Parafunctional patients included, but subjects with uncontrolled periodontitis gingival inflammation excluded. Veneers up 0.5 mm thick luted flowable composite resin light curing cements, while dual-curing systems used veneers 0.8 thick....
This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of an intraoral scanner (IOS - Medit i700) on tooth abutments with vertical preparations at 2 depths below free gingival margin, and determine if IOS can reproduce area beyond finish surface tested preparation geometry.
Prosthetic precision can be affected by several variables, such as restorative materials, manufacturing procedures, framework design, cementation techniques and aging. Marginal adaptation is critical for long-term longevity clinical success of dental restorations. misfit may lead to cement exposure oral fluids, resulting in microleakage dissolution. As a consequence, marginal discrepancies enhance percolation bacteria, food debris, potentially causing secondary caries, endodontic...
The biomechanical effect of mandibular functional flexure on stress build-up in implant-supported fixed restorations is discussed. relative deformations and distributions six different designs prosthetic systems (six or four implants, with without distal cantilevers, cross-arch midline-divided bar into two free-standing bridges) were analysed by a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model human edentulous mandible. A significant amount the more implants superstructure at symphysis arises...
Biomechanical integrity of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) is often compromised. Degree hard tissue loss and type final prosthetic restoration should be carefully considered when making a treatment plan. The objective this prospective clinical trial was to assess the influence as well degree on 7-y performance ETT restored with fiber posts. Two groups ( n = 60) were defined depending needed: 1) single unit porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns (SCs) 2) 3- 4-unit PFM fixed dental...
