Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how different titanium surface treatments (acid etching alone and acid etching plus anodizing) impact the survival of periodontal fibroblasts in an osteogenic environment.* -
- Researchers used scanning electron microscopy to analyze the surface features of the titanium samples, with AEG showing micrometric and ANG showing nanometric characteristics.* -
- Results indicated that there was no significant difference in the cell viability across all groups, suggesting that the titanium surface treatments do not influence the viability of the fibroblasts.*
Statement Of The Problem: Precise shade matching can be one of the most difficult tasks for the dentist and some variables may influence the process of shade comparison.
Purpose Of The Study: This study tested the differences in shade perception between genders, the influence of the observer's clinical experience, and the value of ceramics in correct shade selection.
Material And Methods: A total of 45 women and 54 men compared 16 pairs of ceramic disks according to shades.
