The influence of core-build up materials on biaxial flexural strength of strength-gradient zirconia and lithium disilicate ceramics: an in-vitro study.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using different core build-up materials on biaxial flexural strength (BFS) of multilayered strength-gradient zirconia ceramic in comparison to lithium disilicate ceramic. Thirty zirconia discs were fabricated from IPS e.max ZirCAD Prime (Zir), 30 discs from IPS e.

The effect of using denture adhesives on patient satisfaction with complete dentures; a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Denture adhesives can be useful in improving patients' satisfaction with complete dentures. However, comparison clinical trials are lacking. The purpose of this randomized clinical trial was to assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with 3 types of denture adhesives.

The influence of core-build up materials on biaxial flexural strength of monolithic strength-gradient zirconia; an in-vitro study.

Background: Since their introduction, there has been limited research regarding the mechanical properties of novel strength-gradient monolithic zirconia. In addition to that, studies evaluating the effect of different core-build materials on the strength of indirect restorations are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using different core build-up materials on biaxial flexural strength of a new monolithic multilayered zirconia material.

Factors Affecting Patient Satisfaction with Complete Dentures.

Background: Rehabilitation of the edentulous patients has always been a challenge. The success of conventional complete denture therapy might be affected by several factors such as patients' age, personality, previous denture wearing experience, expectations, aesthetics, residual ridge form and anatomy, denture quality, the method of its construction, dentist experience, and dentist-patient relations.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare patient satisfaction with complete dentures provided by fourth and fifth year dental students and prosthodontists with a minimum of 5 years' experience at the University of Jordan Hospital 8 weeks after insertion.

Simplified versus conventional complete dentures: A randomized crossover clinical trial.

Statement Of Problem: A simplified approach to complete denture treatment, omitting the border molding and definitive impression appointment, was suggested as an alternative to the conventional approach. However, comparison clinical trials are lacking.

Purpose: The purpose of this randomized crossover clinical trial was to assess the satisfaction of edentulous patients and their oral health impact profile when provided with complete dentures fabricated through the simplified or the conventional approach.
