CAD/CAM Endocrown Fabrication from a Polymer-Infiltrated Ceramic Network Block for Primary Molar: A Case Report.

Objective: The aim of this case report is to describe the treatment of a primary molar with a deep carious lesion by pulpotomy and placement of a ceramic endocrown.

Clinical Case: A 7-year-old male patient with profound caries in tooth number 85 was referred to our clinic and underwent a pulpotomy. As the final treatment in tooth restoration, placement of an endocrown was planned, because little more than half of the tooth structure remained.

A review of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture techniques for removable denture fabrication.

The aim of this review was to investigate usage of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM) such as milling and rapid prototyping (RP) technologies for removable denture fabrication. An electronic search was conducted in the PubMed/MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases. Databases were searched from 1987 to 2014.

Comparison of fracture resistance between cast, CAD/CAM milling, and direct metal laser sintering metal post systems.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture resistance of Co-Cr post-cores fabricated with 3 different techniques: traditional casting (TC), computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milling (CCM) and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS).

Methods: Forty intact human mandibular premolar were endodontically treated. The roots were then randomly divided into four groups according to the post systems: the control group was only filled with gutta percha.

Fabricating Complete Dentures with CAD/CAM and RP Technologies.

Two techological approaches for fabricating dentures; computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) and rapid prototyping (RP), are combined with the conventional techniques of impression and jaw relation recording to determine their feasibility and applicability. Maxillary and mandibular edentulous jaw models were produced using silicone molds. After obtaining a gypsum working model, acrylic bases were crafted, and occlusal rims for each model were fabricated with previously determined standard vertical and centric relationships.

Is it possible to diagnose caries under fixed partial dentures with cone beam computed tomography?

Objective: The goal of this study was to determine the possibility of detecting/diagnosing caries under fixed partial dentures using cone beam computed tomography.

Study Design: A range of teeth with grade 3 to 6 caries, according to International Caries Detection and Assessment System criteria, were selected. All teeth were prepared, and three different specimens- zirconia full-ceramic, lithium disilicate full-ceramic, and metal-supported ceramic crowns-were built for each tooth.

Posttreatment diagnosis of caries under fixed restorations: a pilot study.

Statement Of Problem: Conventional radiographic techniques are insufficient for detecting caries under fixed restorations or for acquiring clear images of the disease. Advanced radiographic techniques such as cone beam computerized tomography may be a solution.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the viability of detecting and characterizing caries under complete-ceramic and metal-supported crowns by using cone beam computerized tomography.

Management of an intruded primary central incisor with a natural crown under general anesthesia.

Tooth intrusion is the most common trauma during early infancy. Primary maxillary central incisors are the most affected teeth. There are a few treatment approaches which depend upon the severity of the trauma, and the treatment must be managed professionally.
