Retention of Cast Posts Cemented with Two Commonly Used Conventional and Two Resin Cements and the Mode of Root Fracture Following Their Removal.

This study aimed to compare the retention of cast posts cemented with four types of cements and assess the mode of root fracture following their removal. In this in vitro, experimental study, 48 upper central incisors were randomly divided into 4 groups of 12, and were endodontically treated. The fabricated cast posts in each group were cemented with zinc phosphate (Masterdent), glass ionomer (GI; Meron), Meta resin cement, and Panavia SA resin cement.

Effect of photo core, LuxaCore, and core max II core building materials on fracture resistance of endodontically-treated teeth restored with fiber-reinforced composite posts and ParaPosts.

Background: Post and core treatment is commonly performed for endodontically treated teeth to replace the lost tooth structure and reinforce and protect the remaining dental tissue. This study aimed to compare the effect of three-core building materials on fracture resistance of endodontically-treated teeth restored with fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) posts and ParaPosts.

Materials And Methods: This , experimental study evaluated 108 sound, single-rooted mandibular first premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes.

Effect of dental implantation on the hard and soft tissues around the adjacent natural teeth.

Background: Dental implantation has become widespread for esthetic and functional rehabilitation following single tooth loss as a preferred alternative to conventional tooth-supported restorations. The main advantage of dental implant placement is that it does not require the preparation of the adjacent sound teeth.

Objectives: The aim of this cohort study was to assess the effect of dental implantation on the hard and soft tissues around the adjacent natural teeth.

Comparative Study of Dimensional Accuracy in Three Dental Implant Impression Techniques: Open Tray, Closed Tray with Impression Coping, and Snap Cap.

Aim: Several impression techniques have been proposed to result passive fitness between the prosthesis and osseointe-grated implant. The aim of the study was to compare dimensional accuracy of three impression methods: Open tray, closed tray with impression coping, and closed tray with snap cap.

Materials And Methods: In this experimental study, a mandibular acrylic model was prepared with a milling machine to place three holes for dental implant analogs (Dio SM) with the dimension of 3.

Immediate vs. delayed endosseous integration of maxi implants: a torque removal animal study.

Delayed loading is one of the concerns in implant patients. Immediate loading can solve the problem and make patients more satisfied. The present study aimed to compare the removal torque of maxi implants under different loading (immediate and delayed) patterns.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to a Seven Year-Old Patient with Incontinentia Pigmenti: A Case Report and Five-Year Follow Up.

Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare inherited disorder involving abnormalities of the skin, hair, eyes, musculoskeletal system, central nervous system, and the teeth. Dental abnormalities are the most common manifestations of this disorder. The purpose of this case report was to present the clinical and radiological findings of a seven-year-old girl as well as the results of her five-year follow up.

Edentulous child with Allgrove syndrome: a rare case report.

Triple-A syndrome, also known as Allgrove syndrome, is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. The 3 features of this syndrome are achalasia, adrenal insufficiency, and alacrima. Achalasia could be the first manifestation of the triple-A syndrome; however, its etiology is unclear.

Water Sorption and Flexural Strength of Thermoplastic and Conventional Heat-Polymerized Acrylic Resins.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess and compare the water sorption and flexural strength of thermoplastic and conventional acrylic resins.

Materials And Methods: Water sorption and flexural strength were compared between a thermoplastic modified polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base resin (group A) and a heat-polymerized PMMA acrylic resin (group B) as the control group (n=10). A three-point bending test was carried out for flexural strength testing.
