OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of recasting on the biocompatibility of a commercially available Ni-Cr alloy. METHODS The alloy tested was cast and subsequently recast four more times. For each cast condition, 24 disk shaped specimens were fabricated (5 mm in diameter, 0.5 mm in thickness). All the recasting was performed without adding new alloy. After the first cast and following each rec...

PURPOSE To evaluate the dimensional accuracy of the resultant (duplicative) casts made from two different impression materials (polyvinyl siloxane and polyether) in parallel and angulated implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three definitive master casts (control groups) were fabricated in dental stone with three implants, placed at equi-distance. In first group (control), all three implants were ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the variation of the strength of gypsum-bonded dental investments with burnout temperature. METHODS The disc-rupture test was employed at burnout temperatures ranging from 450 to 800 degrees C for four products (Beauty Cast, Cristobalite, Novocast (all WhipMix) and Deguvest California (Degussa)). In this test, an investment disc is created inside an investment mold su...

The surface area of edentulous jaw is an important functional and anthropometric parameter. It can be analyzed directly in mouth, on jaw impressions, as well as on casts. The analysis of master cast provides valuable information about the surface area in edentulous jaws. However, preliminary-study cast made of “soft” alabaster dental plaster is usually utilized for this purpose [1-5]. The surfa...

BACKGROUND After loss of natural teeth, provision of prosthodontic services almost becomes necessity in the present day living. To provide effective mastication teeth have peculiar forms. To make it more efficient both functionally and biologically, they are arranged in particular geometric manner referred to as dental arch. The objective of this study was to compare the distance between mesial...

The measurement of oral maxillofacial region, including dentition and teeth, is important information for diagnosis and assessment of treatment in clinical dentistry. There are two kinds of the measuring systems, i.e., contact-type system and non-contact-type system. The latter mainly has been investigated in dentistry, because of its simplicity and quickness for measurement. However, since the...

INTRODUCTION Alginate is a versatile, irreversible hydrocolloid impression material, which is cost-effective and forms an essential component in dental practice. For elevating the hardness of the cast models, hardeners are combined with stone. Hence, we planned the present study to evaluate the impact of altering the time of contact between alginate and stone after various interim periods. MA...
