Retention of a telescopic overdenture on customized abutments after the simulation of 1 year in function.

Background: Telescopic implant-retained overdentures are considered one of the most common treatment modalities for edentulous patients.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the retention of a BioHPP (biocompatible highperformance polymer) telescopic overdenture supported by customized abutments made from 2 different materials after the simulation of 1 year in function.

Material And Methods: Twelve models of a completely edentulous mandible were three-dimensionally (3D)-printed.

Effect of ceramic translucency and luting cement shade on the color masking ability of laminate veneers.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ceramic material types, degree of veneer translucency, and luting cement shades on masking the underlying dark dental substrate to achieve best esthetics.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 56 specimens each of 0.5-mm thickness were fabricated from two esthetic veneer materials Vita Enamic and Vita Suprinity, with two different translucencies, i.
