Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two-piece and one-piece abutments in terms of esthetics, patient satisfaction, and oral health quality for single crowns on implants.
  • Thirty implants were randomly divided into two groups (15 each) and various measurements for esthetics, satisfaction, and quality of life were taken at different time points.
  • Results showed no significant differences between the two types of abutments, with both improving patient satisfaction and esthetics over time, indicating they are equally effective.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare periodontal health in teeth restored with ceramic crowns, evaluating the effects of crown lengthening surgery on clinical parameters like plaque index and gingival health.
  • A total of 22 patients with 41 crowns participated, divided into two groups: those who underwent crown-lengthening and those who did not.
  • Results showed that while some periodontal measures improved, there were no significant differences between groups regarding most follow-up periods; crown-lengthening surgery mainly influenced probing depth and clinical attachment level specifically at treated sites.

Statement Of Problem: The success rate of monolithic polymer-infiltrated ceramic posterior crowns after 1 year is unclear.

Purpose: The purpose of this controlled, randomized, and double-blind clinical trial was to evaluate the performance of posterior complete crowns in polymer-infiltrated and lithium disilicate ceramics and to assess the impact of oral rehabilitation on esthetic satisfaction, quality of life, and periodontal health.

Material And Methods: A total of 33 crowns were provided in 18 participants allocated to 2 groups: Control (Lithium disilicate-IPS e.

Objective: To evaluate gingival phenotypes in 100 subjects (n = 100), with regard to maxillary central incisors and surrounding periodontium in an observational diagnostic study.

Materials And Methods: Individuals were grouped based on: Probing depth (PD); keratinized mucosa (KM); Ratio Height/Width Crown (CH/CW), papilla area (PA), gingival thickness (GT) and Gingival Volume (GV). ANOVA and chi-square tests were performed with a significance level of 5%.
