Outcomes of resin-bonded attachments for removable dental prostheses.

Purpose: This clinical study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of resin-bonded attachments (RBAs) for precision-retained removable dental prostheses (RDPs) after at least two years of clinical maintenance.

Methods: Since December 1998, 205 RBAs (44 bonded to posterior teeth, 161 to anterior teeth) have been inserted in 123 patients (62 females and 61 males; mean age, 63.6 ± 9.

Replacement of Two Missing Adjacent Teeth with Two Single-Retainer Resin-Bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses with Improved Proximal Design.

Purpose: To present a minimally invasive treatment approach for the replacement of two missing adjacent teeth with two single-retainer resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs).

Materials And Methods: Two missing adjacent premolars were restored by two RBFDPs with an innovative design of the proximal section. Both RBFDPs were digitally designed and milled from monolithic 3Y-TZP zirconia ceramic using CAD/CAM.

Fifteen-year outcome of three-unit fixed dental prostheses made from monolithic lithium disilicate ceramic.

Objectives: The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the clinical long-term outcome over 15 or more years of crown-retained fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) made from a lithium disilicate ceramic (IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar Vivadent AG).

Methods: Thirty-six three-unit FDPs replacing anterior (16%) and posterior (84%) teeth were inserted in 28 patients.

Fifteen-year outcome of posterior all-ceramic inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses.

Objectives: To evaluate the long-term clinical outcome of inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (IRFDPs) made from lithium-disilicate glass-ceramic.

Material And Methods: Forty-five IRFDPs were placed in 42 patients (21 women, mean age 36.1 years and 21 men, mean age 42.

Influence of bonding surface and bonding methods on the fracture resistance and survival rate of full-coverage occlusal veneers made from lithium disilicate ceramic after cyclic loading.

Objectives: The purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate the influence of bonding method and type of dental bonding surface on fracture resistance and survival rate of resin bonded occlusal veneers made from lithium disilicate ceramic after cyclic loading.

Methods: Fourty-eight extracted molars were divided into three groups (N=16) depending on the preparation: within enamel, within dentin/enamel or within enamel/composite resin filling. Lithium disilicate occlussal veneers were fabricated with a fissure-cusp thickness of 0.

3D-tracking the regenerative potential of the mandible with micro-CTs.

Purpose: The treatment of large bone defects is a challenging problem especially when the mandible is affected. Bone healing is dependent on the defect size and the integrity of periosteum. So far, these both aspects have not been investigated separately.
