Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance of dental ceramics by comparing a custom load-to-fracture test with a conventional method for measuring fracture strength.
- Acoustic emission testing was used to assess fracture toughness in three types of dental materials (glass sheets, zirconia sheets, and monolithic zirconia crowns), with a total of 130 samples tested.
- Results indicated that the custom method produced lower mean fracture loads for all sample types compared to conventional testing, suggesting it may better detect cracks at lower loads, although more research is needed for broader applicability and accuracy.
Aim: The objective of this study was to assess marginal bone level around single implants inserted in fresh extraction sockets in the anterior maxillary region and instantly restored with computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing customized temporary crowns cemented on the final abutment.
Materials And Methods: A total of 20 patients (15 females and 5 males, with a mean age of 30 years), where 20 were placed in fresh extraction sockets. After raising a full-thickness flap, atraumatic extraction was performed the implant site was prepared and fixtures were stabilized on the palatal bone wall.
Diverse types of dental adhesives exhibit different cytotoxic outcomes on cells in vitro. Currently, no standard adhesive application technique has so far been decisive for clinicians for better durability of resin-dentin bonds of adhesive systems. The purpose of this study was to systematically review the literature to evaluate the bonding performance of adhesive systems to dentin by using different application modalities.

In the present study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of TMDs during COVID-19 infection and to evaluate associated factors. Methods An observational cross-sectional online survey was conducted in April and May 2021 in order to estimate the prevalence of TMDs in participants who were previously infected with COVID-19.

- This clinical study aimed to evaluate how occlusal splints affect bodily posture in female patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using force platforms.
- Forty-seven patients underwent stabilometric examinations under various conditions before and during treatment, with significant improvements seen in sway area and length after the splint was used.
- Results indicated that occlusal splints lead to significant postural improvements in both static and dynamic conditions, suggesting a beneficial clinical application for TMD patients.
