Different surface treatments on recently introduced CAD-CAM resin-modified ceramics: Implications on bond strength.

Statement Of Problem: The diverse chemical composition of recently introduced resin-modified ceramics complicates the establishment of a universally accepted clinical bonding protocol.

Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influence of different surface treatments of resin-modified ceramics on the bond strength to a resin cement.

Material And Methods: Sixteen 10×12×3-mm resin-modified ceramic slices were obtained from each material (Cerasmart; GC, Shofu Block HC; Shofu, Vita Enamic; Vita, Evolux hybrid; BlueDent, Alium; Alium).

Artificial intelligence: ChatGPT as a disruptive didactic strategy in dental education.

Purpose: To evaluate the influence of ChatGPT on academic tasks performed by undergraduate dental students.

Method: Fifty-five participants completed scientific writing assignments. First, ChatGPT was utilized; subsequently, a conventional method involving the search of scientific articles was employed.

Clinical protocol for intraoral repair of a chipped all-ceramic crown: a case report.

Ceramic chipping occurs frequently in veneered all-ceramic crowns, and the decision to repair or replace them depends on many factors. The least invasive method is the intraoral repair. This case report describes a conservative restorative treatment performed on a chipped dental crown.
