Scaffolds of PCL combined to bioglass: synthesis, characterization and biological performance.

Biomaterials may be useful in filling lost bone portions in order to restore balance and improve bone regeneration. The objective of this study was to produce polycaprolactone (PCL) membranes combined with two types of bioglass (Sol-Gel and melt-quenched) and determine their physical and biological properties. Membranes were produced through electrospinning.

Computer-aided design finite element modeling of different approaches to rehabilitate endodontically treated teeth.

Background: Carious lesions and dental fractures cause weakening in the dental structure. In these situations, endodontic treatment and prosthetic rehabilitation using an intraradicular post are indicated. However, the postspace preparation of the root canal further weakens the dental remnant, especially if there is no ferrule present.

Influence of Restoration Height and Masticatory Load Orientation on Ceramic Endocrowns.

Aim: Endocrown restorations are an alternative to restore end-odontically treated teeth. Due to the fact that in the literature it is recommended a remnant of 1.5 mm, different heights of endocrown were elaborated and analyzed, obtaining possible faults and their location.
