The link between cutaneous allodynia and pain/sensitivity in teeth and gums during migraine episodes.

Background: Migraine is one of the most common primary headaches worldwide, while toothache is the most common pain in the orofacial region. The association of migraine pain, and oral pain is unknown. This study aims to investigate the association between migraine and dental and gingival pain with the presence of allodynia.

Marginal fit of 3-unit CAD-CAM zirconia frameworks fabricated using cone beam computed tomography scans: an experimental study.

Whether cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans can be used for the fabrication of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) is not known. The purpose of the present study was to compare the marginal fit of 3-unit zirconia FDPs fabricated by using CBCT or 3-dimensional (3D) laboratory scanning. Extracted second premolar and molar teeth in a maxillary typodont model were prepared.

Marginal fit of CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by using cone beam computed tomography scans.

Statement Of Problem: Information regarding the precision of monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by using a standard computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) workflow is available. However, information on the effect of a modified workflow using 3D laboratory scanning and/or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) for monolithic zirconia crown fabrication is lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of different scans on the marginal fit of CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated by 3D laboratory scanning and CBCT.

Marginal discrepancy of CAD-CAM complete-arch fixed implant-supported frameworks.

Statement Of Problem: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) high-density polymers (HDPs) have recently been marketed for the fabrication of long-term interim implant-supported fixed prostheses. However, information regarding the precision of fit of CAD-CAM HDP implant-supported complete-arch screw-retained prostheses is scarce.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the marginal discrepancy of CAD-CAM HDP complete-arch implant-supported screw-retained fixed prosthesis frameworks and compare them with conventional titanium (Ti) and zirconia (Zir) frameworks.

Effect of feldspathic porcelain layering on the marginal fit of zirconia and titanium complete-arch fixed implant-supported frameworks.

Statement Of Problem: Veneering with porcelain may adversely affect the marginal fit of long-span computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) implant-supported fixed prostheses. Moreover, data regarding the precision of fit of CAD-CAM-fabricated implant-supported complete zirconia fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) before and after porcelain layering are limited.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of porcelain layering on the marginal fit of CAD-CAM-fabricated complete-arch implant-supported, screw-retained FDPs with presintered zirconia frameworks compared with titanium.

Effect of fabrication stages and cementation on the marginal fit of CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia crowns.

Statement Of Problem: Monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) technology have recently become an alternative dental prosthetic treatment. The marginal fit of monolithic zirconia crown may be affected by different stages of the fabrication procedures in the laboratory and cementation. Information regarding the accuracy of fit of monolithic zirconia crowns at different stages of fabrication and cementation is limited.

Effect of cement space on the marginal fit of CAD-CAM-fabricated monolithic zirconia crowns.

Statement Of Problem: Monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) have recently become a common practice for the restoration of posterior teeth. The marginal fit of monolithic zirconia crowns may be affected by different cement space parameters set in the CAD software. Information is scarce regarding the effect of cement space on the marginal fit of monolithic zirconia crowns fabricated with CAD-CAM technology.

Retrospective study on the 7.5-year survival of resin-bonded dental prostheses in single missing second premolar cases.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to report retrospectively the clinical results of cast metal slot-retained resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) used in the restoration of single missing second premolar teeth, as this kind of prostheses provides acceptable clinical outcomes in a minimally invasive and esthetic treatment for the average patient requiring cheaper and faster treatment alternative for a single missing posterior tooth. However, the data present in the literature are scarce.

Materials And Methods: Clinical follow-up was reported up to 7.

Amelogenesis Imperfecta: Rehabilitation and Brainstorming on the Treatment Outcome after the First Year.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) affects enamel on primary and permanent dentition. This hereditary disorder is characterized by loss of enamel, poor esthetics, and hypersensitivity. Functional and cosmetic rehabilitation is challenging with variety of treatment options.

A prospective cohort study on cast-metal slot-retained resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses in single missing first molar cases: results after up to 7.5 years.

Purpose: To evaluate under controlled clinical conditions the outcomes of cast-metal slot-retained resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) in which resin composite interlocked the restoration retainers in place after cementation in cases with single missing first molars, and to collect survival data on this esthetic RBFDP design combined with an economical metal fit-surface treatment method and resin luting system.

Materials And Methods: Forty-one tub-shaped inlay-retained RBFDPs were clinically observed for up to 7.7 years in 35 recipients of both genders between 18 and 52 years of age.

Directly fabricated inlay-retained glass- and polyethylene fiber-reinforced composite fixed dental prostheses in posterior single missing teeth: a short-term clinical observation.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of directly fabricated glass and polyethylene resin-bonded fiberreinforced composite (FRC) inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) in posterior single missing teeth over a short period of time.

Materials And Methods: Fourteen inlay-retained FRC FDPs with tub-shaped or box-shaped retainers were directly constructed in patients of both genders. A baseline examination was performed and the patients were examined regularly at 6-month intervals.

A technique for fabrication of an interim ocular prosthesis.

Several ocular and orbital disorders require surgical intervention that may result in ocular defects. Immediate intervention is required to preserve the anophthalmic socket size and prevent scar tissue contractures that may follow surgery. Unfortunately, immediate fitting of an anophthalmic socket with an artificial eye may not always be possible, and a delayed prosthesis delivery may result in settling and sinking of the prosthesis into the socket, therefore requiring orbital cavity conformation.
