September 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the impact of delaying adhesive cementation post-bleaching and using varying concentrations of sodium ascorbate on bond strength to enamel.
- It involved 54 bovine incisors divided into six groups, with some receiving different sodium ascorbate treatments and different waiting times after bleaching.
- Results showed that bond strength was highest in the unbleached group and lowest in the group treated with 10% sodium ascorbate after 24 hours, but there were no significant differences in bond strength among the groups tested.
Purpose: To evaluate the periodontal conditions and integrity of abutment and non-abutment teeth of patients evaluated 7 years after insertion of the removable partial denture (RPD).
Materials And Methods: Twenty-two patients (17 women, 5 men) were assessed at the moment of denture insertion and 7 years later. The following items were verified in each assessment: bleeding on probing (BP), probing depth (PD), gingival recession (GR), and mobility (M), comparing direct and indirect abutment teeth, and the teeth not involved in the denture design.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in denture wearers and the association between prosthetic factors and this condition.
Background: There is no consensus about the relationship between prosthetic factors and TMD among denture wearers.
Materials And Methods: The sample was composed of 92 patients wearing both maxillary and mandibular complete dentures.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate (1) the influence of complete denture quality and years of denture use on masticatory efficiency and (2) the relationship between complete denture quality and years of use.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 93 edentulous patients (mean age: 65.6 years) wearing both mandibular and maxillary dentures.
