Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the aesthetic outcomes of metal porcelain (C), lithium disilicate (T1) and porcelain-layered zirconium (T2) immediate implant-supported single crowns in the anterior maxilla.
Materials And Methods: Forty-five immediate dental implants were provided for 45 patients that required the extraction of a single tooth in the anterior maxilla. A temporary prosthesis was provided at 8 weeks after placement followed by the final prosthesis at 24 weeks post-implantation.
Background: Recent data have shown that short dental implants can be the preferred treatment in most of cases of posterior atrophic alveolar ridges, offering higher survival and lower complication rates than long implants. The survival rates, stability, and marginal bone level changes were compared between short implants (7 and 8.5 mm) and standard-length implants (≥10 mm).

- The study aimed to investigate how varnish type, application time, and surface polishing affect the shear bond strength (SBS) of a universal adhesive on healthy and demineralized bovine enamel.
- A total of 432 bovine teeth were used, divided into various groups based on factors like enamel condition, varnish type (Clinpro White Varnish or Profluorid), and remineralization time.
- Results showed that while polishing the enamel generally improved SBS, Profluorid performed better than Clinpro White Varnish, particularly benefiting demineralized enamel, indicating that fluoride varnish can help restore bond strength.
