The Impact of Gastric Juice on the Surface Roughness of Surface Sealant-Treated Provisional Restorations.

Background And Aim: Gastroesophageal reflux disease causes gastric acid to enter the oral cavity, leading to mucosal changes and deterioration of dental hard tissues and materials. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the impact of gastric juice on the surface roughness of two types of acrylics used in provisional restorations.

Materials And Methods: Acrytemp ® and Temdent acrylic resin discs (10 × 2 mm) totaling 80 were manufactured and divided into eight groups (n = 10).

Evaluation of color change before and after polymerization of laminate veneer restorations: A clinical study.

Background And Aim: The purpose of this in vivo study was to investigate the effect of translucent adhesive resin cement on the final color of ceramic laminate veneer restoration before and after polymerization in intraoral conditions.

Materials And Methods: This study was conducted in 92 ceramic laminate veneer restorations of 27 patients. The ceramic laminate veneer restorations in standard thickness lithium disilicate ceramic structure (IPS e.

Distribution and pattern of implant therapy in a part of the Turkish population.

Objective: To report the distribution and pattern of implant replacement of missing tooth/teeth.

Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the Suleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey, and used data of patients who had undergone implant replacement of missing teeth/tooth from May 2008 to May 2013. Data analysis included age, gender, number of implants placed, implant location distribution, additional surgery protocol, type of dentures and failure rate.

Deproteinization treatment on bond strengths of primary, mature and immature permanent tooth enamel.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of pre-post deproteinization treatment with 5% sodium hypochloride on shear bond strength (sbs) of adhesive resin to primary, immature and mature permanent teeth enamel.

Method: 30 teeth were used for each of primary, immature and mature permanent teeth groups. (totally 90).

Change of shade by light polymerization in a resin cement polymerized beneath a ceramic restoration.

Objectives: The aim of this in vitro study was to examine the effect of the color changes of a resin cement material (Variolink II) polymerized beneath a simulated ceramic restoration (IPS Empress II) by two different light polymerizing units.

Methods: A conventional halogen light and a light emitting diode unit were used to polymerize resin cement with catalyst. A pressable ceramic block (10mm in diameter, 2 or 1mm in height) was used as an interface between the polymerizing light tip and resin cement.
