A grain level micromechanical analysis of ceramic microstructures subjected to dynamic compression–shear loading conditions is presented. The investigation consists of a combined experimental/numerical approach in which bulk and surface properties are examined by means of pressure–shear impact experiments for a ceramic plate in contact with steel plates. The model for the ceramic microstructure...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this systematic review was to assess the 5-year survival of implant-supported single crowns (SCs) and to describe the incidence of biological and technical complications. METHODS An electronic MEDLINE search complemented by manual searching was conducted to identify prospective and retrospective cohort studies on SCs with a mean follow-up time of at least 5 years. ...

The symbols for the new IUPAC elements named in November 2016 can introduce subtle ambiguities within cheminformatics software. The ambiguities are described and demonstrated by highlighting inconsistencies between software when handling existing element symbols.

purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two gingival finishing lines (90° shoulder and deep chamfer) on the marginal fitness of two types of full anatomic all-ceramic crowns; zirconia crowns (zikonzhan) and glass ceramic crowns (ips e-max cad) milled with cad/cam system. materials and methods: two dentoform teeth of left maxillary first molar were prepared with chamfer fini...
