Benign bone lesions present a unique challenge to the practicing orthopaedist. They are a not uncommon problem that often present in the pediatric or young adult population. The most common diagnoses include giant cell tumor of bone, aneurysmal bone cysts, unicameral (simple) bone cysts, metaphyseal fibrous defects, and fibrous dysplasia. Appropriate surgical intervention must balance acceptabl...

This article describes the different materials and techniques that are used for adhesive cementation. Particular attention is given to treatments suitable for dentin, as well as the selection of surface treatments for various restorative materials. Factors related to the durability and stability of the adhesive process, as well as the clinical and laboratory procedures required for cementation,...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two different cementation techniques of individually formed E-glass fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post on bond strength and microleakage. METHODS The crowns of extracted third molars were removed and post preparation was carried out with parapost drills (diameter 1.5 mm). After application of bonding agents individually formed ...

Background: This study compared the amount of residual cement at margin implant-supported crowns cemented using polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape, replica technique, and conventional cementation technique. Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, a mandibular model underwent full-arch scanning. The right first molar tooth was eliminated on scan Exocad software, regular implant analog mod...

BACKGROUND Intralesional excision with curettage is the standard method of giant cell tumor (GCT) treatment, but the ideal filling material after curettage remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the oncological and functional outcomes which underwent cementation or bone grafting after GCT curettage around the knee. METHODS We reported 136 cases with GCTs in distal fem...

AIM The objective of this study was to compare the film thickness of a light body polyvinylsiloxane addition silicone impression material using the "replica technique" (RT) to the film thickness resulting from the cementation of Procera copings. METHODS AND MATERIALS Twenty Procera copings were fabricated on ten casts each having one central incisor and one premolar. The thickness of the ligh...

BACKGROUND The increasing number of revision knee arthroplasty result in the more frequently use of a constraint implant but results from previous reports are difficult to interpret. The purpose of this study was to compare the long-term outcomes of superficial cemented versus metaphyseal cemented in revision total knee arthroplasty with a condylar constrained arthroplasty. METHODS The study ...

BACKGROUND Glenoid component survival is critical to good long-term outcomes in total shoulder arthroplasty. Optimizing the fixation environment is paramount. The purpose of this study was to compare two glenoid cementing techniques for fixation in total shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS Sixteen cadaveric specimens were randomized to receive peg-only cementation (CPEG) or full back-side cementat...

Enzyme-induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) is a biocementation technique that produces comparatively fewer carbon dioxide emissions than traditional cementation. However, the use of synthetic reagents for EICP costly, and process an ammonium byproduct water pollutant. This study utilized fresh human urine as source urea calcium-rich zeolites adsorbent calcium ions cementation technique. Batc...

PURPOSE The aim of present investigation was to evaluate marginal bone level after 5-year follow-up of implants placed in healed ridges and fresh extraction sockets in maxilla with immediate loading protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients in need of a single-tooth replacement in the anterior maxilla received 42 Astra Tech implants (Astra Tech Implant system™, Dentsply Implants, Mö...
