Aim: Evaluating the fracture resistance of dental ceramics is essential for assessing their behavior. This study aimed to validate a custom load-to-fracture test for assessing fracture strength compared to a conventional method.
Materials And Methods: Acoustic emission testing, a non-destructive (ND) lab test, was employed to evaluate the fracture toughness (FT) of brittle materials by capturing sound waves generated by crack formation in failing samples.
Objective: To review the materials and fabrications methods of occlusal splints with their advantages and shortcomings and to clarify the indications for each.
Background: Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) encompass a range of conditions affecting the masticatory system. Occlusal splints are currently recognised as a viable option for the management of TMDs when they are adopted in conjunction with additional approaches varying from conservative procedures (counselling, biofeedback, physical therapy, pharmacotherapy) to irreversible and less conservative ones (occlusal adjustments, orthodontics, arthroscopy and surgery).
Objective: This systematic review aimed to investigate and examine whether intra-articular injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) after arthrocentesis are beneficial for the treatment of temporomandibular disorders, when compared to other treatments, such as injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) or saline after arthrocentesis.
Methods: An electronic search on PubMed was performed using combinations of the terms 'temporomandibular' and 'platelet rich plasma', to identify studies reported in English and published up until 2017. The initial screening identified 222 records, of which only seven fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included in this review.
Introduction During the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an increase in temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) was noticed in infected patients. In the present study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of TMDs during COVID-19 infection and to evaluate associated factors. Methods An observational cross-sectional online survey was conducted in April and May 2021 in order to estimate the prevalence of TMDs in participants who were previously infected with COVID-19.

The aim and objective of this clinical prospective study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal splints on bodily posture using force platforms.
Materials And Methods: Forty-seven female patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) underwent a clinical and postural examination before and during an occlusal treatment with an upper splint.
