Background: Fracture is the most common reason for the failure of provisional restorations. This study aimed to assess the effects of the fabrication method (conventional, computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing [CAD/CAM] milling, three-dimensional [3D] printing) and material type on the fracture strength of provisional restorations.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 60 provisional restorations were made through the conventional (Tempron and Master Dent), CAD/CAM milling (Ceramill and breCAM.
Background: Marginal fit is a key factor in success of prosthetic restorations. This study aimed to assess and compare the marginal fit of endocrowns fabricated by three-dimensional (3D) printing and the conventional method.
Materials And Methods: This in vitro, experimental study evaluated 20 endocrowns, of which 10 were fabricated by 3D printing and 10 were fabricated by the conventional wax-up technique.
Statement Of The Problem: The success of metal-ceramic restorations depends on the bond strength between porcelain and alloy. These restorations can be fabricated through different casting and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the bond strength of porcelain to milled sintered (Sintron) and casting (Co-Cr and Ni-Cr) base metal alloys.
Background: The study's purpose was to study buccal pouch grafting (BPG) with xenograft, freeze-dried bone allograft (FDBA), or FDBA + decalcified FDBA (DFDBA) on alveolar ridge width preservation and overlying soft tissue thickness at dog premolar extraction sites.
Materials And Methods: In this animal study, 4 dogs had their mandibular first premolar (P1) and distal roots of P2, P3, and P4 extracted (after endodontic treatment of the mesial roots) bilaterally. A small buccal pouch was created at each extraction socket and four treatments tested: nothing, xenograft, FDBA, or FDBA + DFDBA.
