Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of dental stone molds and three dimensional (3D)-printed molds on the color difference, translucency, surface roughness, and hardness of maxillofacial silicones.

Methods: To prepare molds, a rectangular body 20 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness, was designed with computer-aided design software. Two different dental gypsum molds were prepared with the lost-wax technique.

Defects in the facial region can be treated by maxillofacial prostheses however, fabrication of the prosthesis is a time-consuming process. The short lifetime of silicone material due to inherent deterioration has stimulated a search for more practical methods. This case report involves a semi-digital workflow for replacement of an ear prosthesis.

Advances in computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technologies and adhesives have enabled the use of endocrowns as an effective and conservative treatment option for restoring endodontically treated teeth in pediatric populations. Thus, this case report presents the treatment of a severely damaged premolar tooth with coronal pulpotomy and a 3D-printed endocrown restoration. A 13-year-old patient with pain due to profound caries in the left maxillary second premolar tooth was referred to the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Gazi University in Ankara, Türkiye.

Background: This study aims to investigate color stability and surface roughness of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), zirconia, and hybrid ceramics while stored in different liquids.

Methods: A total of 240 specimens were prepared from monolithic zirconia, PEEK, and hybrid ceramics. All specimens were polished using rubber sets with different grain sizes.
