Impact of surface pre-treatment on bond strength between cement and zirconia: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Statement Of Problem: The optimal zirconia pretreatment, contingent upon the type of cement used, warrants further research.

Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the influence of various surface pretreatments on the bonding efficacy of cement to zirconia.

Material And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across the PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for in vitro studies related to bonding with zirconia up to April 2024, supplemented by a manual search.

Effect of Schneiderian Membrane Thickening on the Maxillary Sinus Augmentation and Implantation Outcomes: A Systematic Review.

Background: Schneiderian membrane thickness may influence the final clinical outcome of sinus augmentation and dental implantation. Mucosal thickening has been regarded as a contributing factor for post-treatment complications. This study aimed to systematically review the available literature on the association between mucosal thickening and potential complications related to sinus augmentation and implant placement.

Effect of Cement Type and Cementation Technique on the Retention of Implant-Supported Restorations.

Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of cement type and cementation technique on the retention of cement-retained implant-supported restorations.

Material And Methods: In this in vitro study, 20 solid abutments were screwed onto the fixture analogs and were mounted in acrylic resin molds using a surveyor. Twenty computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) metal crowns with an occlusal loop were fabricated, divided into two groups (n = 10), and bonded with temporary dental cement (Temp-Bond™; group 1) or glass ionomer (GC; group 2).
