This study aimed to evaluate the airborne-particle abrasion surface treatment effects on the tensile bond strength (TBS) between resilient denture liner and CAD/CAM or conventional heat polymerized poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) acrylic denture resins. A total of 48 dumbbell-shaped specimens (70 mm in total length, and 12 mm and 7 mm in diameter at the thickest and thinnest section, respectively) were prepared from CAD/CAM and conventional acrylic resins. Before relining with denture liner, 12 specimens from each material were surface-treated by 110 µm AlO airborne-particle abrasion, and the remaining specimens served as control (no treatment).

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on gynecologists at various hospitals across the five areas of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire.
Background: The effect of different maintenance time of torque application and screw loosening in full-arch implant-supported prosthesis remains uninvestigated.
Purpose: To examine the effect of different maintenance time of torque application on detorque values of implant abutment screw in full-arch implant-supported fixed complete denture.
Materials And Methods: Passively fitting framework supported by four implants stabilized on resin model torqued to 35 N-cm and maintained for different times; instant torque application (protocol A), 10 seconds (protocol B), and 30 seconds (protocol C) were used.
Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the adhesion of to the surfaces of CAD/CAM and conventionally fabricated complete denture bases.
Materials And Methods: Twenty discs of acrylic resin poly (methyl methacrylate) were fabricated with CAD/CAM and conventional procedures (heat-polymerized acrylic resin). The specimens were divided into two groups: 10 discs were fabricated using the CAD/CAM procedure (Wieland Digital Denture Ivoclar Vivadent), and 10 discs were fabricated using a conventional flasking and pressure-pack technique.
Aim: The aim was to evaluate the effect of botulinum toxin (Botox) injections as a conservative treatment for gummy smile.
Materials And Methods: An experimental in vivo study was conducted at a dermatology clinic in Riyadh in January 2016. The study included 23 female patients who ranged from 20 to 50 years and were treated with Botox injections due to excessive maxillary gingival display.
