An overview of management of root fractures.

Crown or root fractures are the most commonly encountered emergencies in the dental clinic. Root fractures occur in fewer than eight percent of the traumatic injuries to permanent teeth. They are broadly classified as horizontal and vertical root fractures.

Prosthetic rehabilitation of a marginally resected mandibular arch with a metal reinforced telescopic overdenture.

Success of the prosthesis after mandibular resection is related directly to the amount of the remaining bone and soft tissue present. The prognosis for mandibulectomy patients becomes less favorable as the size of the resection increases. Prosthetic rehabilitation for such patients is a challenge for clinicians.

Custom milled zirconia implant supporting an ceramic zirconia restoration: a clinical report.

Dental implants constitute a well-established approach for replacement of lost teeth with titanium being the most favored material for implantation. However, titanium has its limitations in esthetically demanding cases and neither the form nor material of such implants has changed much over the past 40 years. Today, there is scientific evidence that zirconia dental implants osseointegrate well and offer many advantages over titanium implants.

Comparison of the flexural strength of two dual cure adhesive resin cements under oral simulated conditions: an in-vitro study.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the flexural strength of the newly developed self-adhesive dual cure resin cement and compare it with conventional resin cement under oral simulated conditions. A conventional resin cement (Calibra) and self adhesive resin cement (RelyX U100) were selected and 40 specimens of each cement were fabricated for the study. Half of these specimens were polymerized directly whereas the other half were polymerized through 2 mm of porcelain disc.

Evaluation and comparison of the internal fit and marginal accuracy of base metal (nickelchromium) and zirconia copings before and after ceramic veneering: a sem study.

This study compares the internal fit and marginal adaptation of copy milled Zirconia copings with Nickel-Chromium (Ni-Cr) copings fabricated using a lost wax technique before and after ceramic veneering. A standardized metal master die simulating a prepared crown was fabricated and twenty impressions of the metal die were made and poured with die stone. Wax patterns were made on ten dies and cast while light cure resin patterns were made on the other ten dies for copy milling the Zirconia copings.
