Since it was first introduced into the dental world, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology has improved dramatically in regards to both data acquisition and fabrication abilities. CAD/CAM is capable of providing well-fitting intra- and extraoral prostheses when sound guidelines are followed. As CAD/CAM technology encompasses both surgical and prosthetic dental ...

In dentistry, gold-based noble metal alloys have traditionally been cast into various types of dental prostheses, such as partial dentures, crowns, and bridges. More recently, less expensive dental alloys with base-metal elements, such as Co-Cr and Ni-Cr, have been used. Titanium is considered to be an attractive alternative to these traditional dental alloys because of its remarkable lack of t...

BACKGROUND According to the literature, the occurrence of dysphagia is high in cases of stroke, and its severity can be enhanced by loss of teeth and the use of poorly fitting prostheses. OBJECTIVE To verify that the status of oral health influences the level of oral intake and the degree of swallowing dysfunction in elderly patients with stroke in chronic phase. METHODS Thirty elderly indi...

Remakes, or the refabrication of dental prostheses, can occur as a result of inherent inaccuracies in both clinical and laboratory procedures. Because dental schools manage large numbers of predoctoral dental students with limited familiarity and expertise as related to clinical prosthodontic techniques, it is likely these schools will experience an elevated incidence of laboratory remakes and ...
