Purpose: To determine if surface treatment and cement selection for traditional 3 mol% yttria partially stabilized zirconia (3Y-PSZ), "translucent" 5 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (5Y-Z), or lithium disilicate crowns affected their fracture load.
Materials And Methods: Crowns with 0.8 mm uniform thickness (96, n = 8/group) were milled of 3Y-PSZ (Lava Plus), 5Y-Z (Lava Esthetic), or lithium disilicate (e.
Background: The aim was to introduce and preliminarily evaluate a new software application, SICAT Function, which can directly combine and merge three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and electronic SICAT jaw motion tracking (JMT) data.
Methods: A detailed description of the methods and dynamic clinical simulation of mandibular movements of a patient are demonstrated. Functional jaw movements on 3 days were recorded by JMT tracking system.
Statement Of Problem: The etiology (chemical, friction, abfraction) of noncarious cervical lesion (NCCL) progression is poorly understood.
Purpose: The purpose of this 5-year prospective clinical trial was to measure the relationship between NCCLs and various etiologic factors.
Material And Methods: After review board approval, 29 participants with NCCLs were enrolled.
Objective: This retrospective study was designed to investigate changes of cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH) in response to occlusal equilibration.
Method And Materials: Written records for 250 active-care patients were randomly selected and analyzed for associations between CDH, and its resolution following occlusal equilibration. Patients in group A (treatment) and B (delayed treatment) received occlusal equilibration following the detection of verified CDH using the air indexing method.
