Infection Control in Dental Clinics: Prosthodontics Perspectives.

Aim: The aim of this article is to discuss the infection control measures with focus on those related to prosthodontic work.

Background: The risk of transmission of several infectious microorganisms during dental procedures and the increased awareness and knowledge of infectious diseases have led to an increased attention to the importance of infection control. Prosthodontists and dental personnel are exposed directly or indirectly to a significant risk of acquiring healthcare-associated infections.

Biaxial flexural strength of Turkom-Cera core compared to two other all-ceramic systems.

Unlabelled: Advances in all-ceramic systems have established predictable means of providing metal-free aesthetic and biocompatible materials. These materials must have sufficient strength to be a practical treatment alternative for the fabrication of crowns and fixed partial dentures.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the biaxial flexural strength of three core ceramic materials.
