Objective: To report and compare the survival of minimally invasive direct and indirect restorations of different materials for restoring the worn dentition.

Material And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in six databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, CENTRAL, VHL, and EMBASE. The eligibility criteria of this systematic review used the PICO framework to address the following research question: "In dentate patients with a worn dentition (P), does rehabilitating their lost tooth structure with indirect restorations (I) or direct (C) effect the survival and success of treatment (O)?".

Objective: To assess whether an evaluation period is necessary for patient and clinical success when increasing the occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) for a full mouth rehabilitation.

Materials And Methods: A systematic search was conducted in six databases: MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, CENTRAL, VHL, and EMBASE. The eligibility criteria of this systematic review used the PICO framework to address the following research question: "In dentate adults requiring an increase in occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) (P), is an evaluation period of the new OVD (I) superior to no evaluation period (C) in terms of success (O)?" Study characteristics, survival, and success rates were extracted from each article.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate how the emergence angle of dental implants affects marginal bone loss (MBL) and surrounding soft tissue.
  • Six mongrel dogs underwent extractions, and implants were placed with varying emergence angles (20°, 40°, 60°, 80°), followed by monitoring MBL over 24 weeks.
  • Results showed that a wider restorative angle led to greater bone loss and negatively impacted the health of the soft tissue around the implants.

Custom resilient attachments can be used for removable as well as fixed implant-supported prostheses, with the proposed tooth position being visualized in relation to the underlying metal framework, abutments, and implant positions. Custom resilient attachments and the framework for implant overdentures can be designed together using a computer-aided design software program. Computer-aided designed and computer-aided manufactured (CAD-CAM) custom resilient attachments offer greater angulation compensation than standard attachments when clinically required while accounting for biological, mechanical, and esthetic factors.

Objective: To assess radiographic, clinical and patient-reported outcomes of single zirconia implant-supported crowns on titanium base abutments (TBA) over a 7.5-year period.

Methods: Twenty-four patients received bone-level titanium implants and screw-retained zirconia implant crowns utilising TBA.

Statement Of Problem: Interest is growing in immediately loading definitive implant-supported prostheses. However, it appears that implant protocols are evolving faster than their scientific validation.

Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to identify the current trends, feasibility, and clinical outcomes of a specific clinical loading scenario (type A), where a single definitive implant-retained restoration is delivered within 3 days.

Purpose: The aim of this review was to evaluate the survival rates of restorations utilizing titanium base abutments (TBA) for restoring single-unit implant prostheses.

Materials And Methods: This review was conducted following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The focus question was: In patients who require the restoration of a single dental implant utilizing a titanium base abutment, what are the determining factors and outcomes relating to implant prosthesis prognosis and survival? A comprehensive search of databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) was conducted on 16 April 2023 and updated on 5 May 2023.

Objective: The purpose of this laboratory study is to evaluate the application of a pre-sintered surface augmentation to zirconia (Zir) and lithium disilicate (LDS) ceramics on the delamination strength of adhesive resin cement. The applied surface augmentation was the ruling of lines to the pre-sintered surface of the ceramics.

Methods: Ninety milled Zir and sixty pressed LDS specimens (3mm×0.
