A Comparative Study to Assess Accuracy of Casts Prepared using Direct Impression Technique with and without Splinting of Multiple Dental Implants Utilising Two Different Splinting and Impression Materials.

Background: The current study examined the accuracy of casts generated using direct impression processes with and without splints for multiple dental implants utilizing two different splinting materials and impression materials.

Materials And Methods: Dental replacement base intensity alleviating acrylic tar was used to create a reference model of a mandible with four inserts (Uniti, Equinox, D-3.7 mm, and L-13 mm) in the front.

Effect of Dentin Bonding Agent on Intrapulpal Temperature during Fabrication of Provisional Restorations by a Direct Method: An Study.

Aim: To determine the effect of three different provisional restorative materials (PRMs) and application of dentin bonding agent (DBA) on intrapulpal temperature rise during fabrication of provisional crowns using a direct method.

Materials And Methods: Three PRMs-polymethyl methacrylate resin (PMMA), bis-acrylic resin, and dimethyl methacrylate resin (DMMA)-were used in the study. Dentin bonding agent (Single Bond 2, 3M ESPE, Germany) was applied in a single layer or double layer as an insulating material.
