BACKGROUND For implant-supported hybrid prostheses, high mastication forces and reduced acrylic resin thickness over a metal substructure often cause failures arising from tooth or resin fractures. To assay fracture resistance of artificial teeth and resin in implant-supported hybrid prostheses in relation to the titanium structure and retention design supporting teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS 4...

This report presents a case in which a patient was treated with a segmental hemimandibulectomy to improve function and esthetics. Crowns were placed on the remaining teeth and the remaining space was rehabilitated with an acrylic partial denture in the maxillary arch and a cast partial denture in the mandibular arch. The treatment and rehabilitation of a patient with a resected mandible involve...

Loss of teeth has a negative impact on patients oral health and mental well being.While treating patient with partial edentulism the restorative dentist should not ignore concern thereby planned treatment modality best suit patient.In this clinical report edentulism(Keneddy class II mod 2) was rehabilitated cast denture over acrylic other fixed dental as it considered to be most viable option.

OBJECTIVE THE AIM WAS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECT OF ER, CR: YSGG laser and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) on surface micro-hardness of primary tooth enamel. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 freshly extracted caries free primary anterior teeth were cleaned and stored in 1% thymol. Teeth were embedded in acrylic resin such that only their buccal surfaces were exposed...

ectodermal dysplasia is a hereditary disorder associated with abnormal development of embryonic ectodermally-derived organs including teeth, nails, hair and sweat glands. hypodontia of the primary and permanent dentition is the most common oral finding. therefore, affected patients need dental prosthetic treatments during their developmental years. this report presents two cases of children aff...

Introduction Recurrent or secondary caries develops at the margin of restorations and causes restorative failure. We conducted this study to compare the performance of Phosphor Storage Plate (PSP) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scan in detecting buccal recurrent caries under amalgam and composite resin restorations. Materials and Methods Class V cavities were prepared on the buccal...

Introduction Parts of a bridge are related either clinically by the dentist, the direct index, or by the technician in the laboratory, the indirect index, to assemble the parts and invest them for soldering. T o form a direct occlusal index the dentist seats the bridge parts on the teeth and usually either makes a plaster impression record' or uses a self-curing acrylic resin record from which ...

The aim of this study was to compare the resistance of endodontically treated teeth with intraradicular retainer different amounts of remaining coronal structure. Fifty freshly extracted maxillary canines were endodontically treated and randomly assigned to five groups (n=10), as follows: group 1 (control) = teeth with custom cast post and core; group 2 = teeth without remaining coronal structu...

The incorporation of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology into complete denture fabrication brings about several advantages to the fabrication process, providing better predictability of the desired outcomes and high accuracy of denture fit, mainly because the milling of prepolymerized acrylic resin eliminates the shrinkage of the acrylic base. Also, there is ...
