Purpose: To measure and compare the mean temperature values due to heat generated during the grinding of different prosthetic materials with diamond burs using a high-speed instrument with and without water cooling.
Materials And Methods: In total, 120 disk-shaped specimens (10 × 2 mm), each with a smaller disk in the center (3 × 2 mm), were fabricated from yttrium-stabilized zirconia, monolithic zirconia, glass-ceramic, indirect composite, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and cast metal (Ni-Cr alloy). The specimens were divided into six groups (n = 20) according to material type.
Purpose: Prosthetic cleansing solutions have been reported to cause retention loss in implant locator attachments due to the chemical alterations of these attachments. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different denture cleansing solutions on attachments with different retention values.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 160 polyetheretherketone locator attachments were divided into 4 groups according to their attachment retention values (yellow, pink, clear, and violet).
Purpose: To compare the marginal discrepancy between milled interim crowns fabricated using intraoral digital scans acquired at different scanning distances.
Materials And Methods: Ten acrylic typodont teeth were prepared for interim crowns. Three different resin frames of 2.
Statement Of Problem: The effect of gastric acid on the surface properties of denture base acrylic resin is unknown.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate changes in the surface roughness and hardness of denture base acrylic resins after immersion in simulated gastric acid.
Material And Methods: Acrylic resin specimens (n=10) were prepared with 3 different processing techniques (compression-molded, injection-molded, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing [CAD-CAM] milled) and exposed to either gastric acid or artificial saliva (control).
Purpose: To assess the shear bond strength of composite resin to polyether ether ketone (PEEK) after mechanical and chemical surface treatments.
Materials And Methods: A total of 48 PEEK discs were fabricated and divided equally into four surface treatment groups (n = 12 each): (1) airborne particle abrasion with 50-μm alumina particles at 2 MPa pressure for 10 seconds; (2) 98% sulfuric acid etching for 1 minute; (3) airborne particle abrasion and sulfuric acid etching; and (4) no surface treatment. Specimens were conditioned, then Gradia composite veneer (GC) was applied to the PEEK surfaces and polymerized.
