There are two objectives. One is to show the differences in the mechanical properties of various dental restorative materials compared to those of enamel and dentin. The other is to ascertain which dental restorative materials are more suitable for clinical treatments. Amalgam, dental ceramic, gold alloy, dental resin, zirconia, and titanium alloy were processed as dental restorative material s...

background and aim of study: long span is seen in many clinical situations, treatment planning options of these cases are difficult and may require: fpd, rpd or isp. each option has its own disadvantages: mechanical, patient relief and cost respectively. this article will evaluate the stress distribution of another treatment option which is adding a single supporting implant to the fpd by using...

the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of platform switching on stress distribution of two different implant systems using three-dimensional (3d) finite element models.six 3d finite element models were created to replicate two different implant systems with peri-implant bone tissue, in which six different implant-abutment configurations were represented: model xive-a: 3.8-mm-d...

Objective Moderate sedation has limits in managing children’s behavior. Existing literature lacks insight into parental perceptions about the topic. This study aimed to understand mothers’ perceptions concerning sedation after their children undergone dental treatment under sedation. Methods Twelve mothers and one godmother of 1.3-8.4 year-old children with definitely negative behavior in the d...

OBJECTIVE Dental caries is one of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. Saliva has many functions in the oral cavity and is the first line defense against dental caries. Oxidative stress can affect initiation and progression of many inflammatory and infectious diseases such as dental caries. Thus the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between total antioxidant capacity ...

This research studied an association between dental caries prevalence in the primary dentition and cribra orbitale, an indicator of nutritional stress in archeological populations. Skeletal remains of 221 British children (Pre-Roman to Late Medieval) were examined, of whom 100 had orbital material available. Dental caries, as dmfs, was related to the presence of cribra orbitale (none, slight, m...
