A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Cleaning Solutions on Shear Bond Strength of Resin Cement to Saliva-Contaminated Lithium Disilicate (LDS) Ceramic.

Background: One of the greatest benefits of contemporary restorative dentistry is the creation of fixed partial dentures. The retention and durability of the fixed partial dentures may be improved by using a variety of tooth preparation methods, surface treatments, and luting resins.

Aim: To measure the shear binding strength of resin cement to saliva-contaminated lithium disilicate (LDS) ceramic after being exposed to various cleaning treatments.

The Evaluation of the Relationship Between Intercondylar and Intercanine Distances, Maxillary Central Incisor Width, and Various Facial Forms: A Comparative Study.

Background The intercondylar distance is a predictable and invariable parameter, which is not influenced by the soft tissue limitations and resorption unlike comparable anatomical markers. Limited studies are available on the use of intercondylar distance for the selection of teeth arrangement and its relationship with varying face forms. Aim The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intercondylar distance and maxillary intercanine tip distances and central incisor width in square, tapering, and ovoid facial forms.
