Purpose: The focus of this study was to evaluate the effect of reading aloud on masticatory performance and patient satisfaction of patients rehabilitated with conventional complete dentures for the first time.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-two edentulous patients who received conventional complete denture treatment for the first time were randomly divided into two equal groups. After insertion of the dentures, patients in group I were asked to read a news report three times per day for 4 weeks, while those in group II did not read.
Statement Of Problem: The effects of different heat treatments on the internal oxidation and metal-ceramic bond in Pd-Ag alloys with different trace elements require further documentation.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine whether heat treatment affects the metal-ceramic bond strength of 2 Pd-Ag alloys containing different trace elements.
Material And Methods: Thirteen cast specimens (25×3×0.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of surface treatments on the bonding properties between a metal and ceramic.
Methods: Sixty metal specimens were divided equally into four groups of 15 samples each. These groups received different treatments (Gr1: 250μm Al2O3+preoxidation; Gr2: 250μm Al2O3+degassing; Gr3: 120μm Al2O3+preoxidation; Gr4: 120μm Al2O3+degassing).
