Randomized clinical trial of the influence of impression technique on the fabrication of cast metal posts.

Statement Of Problem: Direct and indirect techniques are used for intracanal impression and fabrication of cast metal posts. However, whether those techniques affect the accuracy of cast metal posts is unknown.

Purpose: The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the accuracy of cast metal posts depending on tooth position and impression technique.

An alternative method for the fabrication of a root-supported overdenture: a clinical report.

The preservation of teeth to support an attachment-retained overdenture is an appropriate and stable alternative to extractions and complete dentures. A key to success is the strategic selection of teeth for retention. This clinical report discusses a method for fabricating an overdenture based on a combination of direct and indirect impression techniques.

Effect of triazine derivative added to denture materials on a microcosm biofilm model.

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of triazine incorporation to denture materials on biofilm formation of saliva derived from microcosms of patients who are positive for Candida albicans. Biofilms were formed on microwave-cured acrylic resin, one hard denture liner, and two soft denture liners containing 0, 2.5, 5, and 10% triazine.
