Comparison of clinical outcomes between single metal-ceramic and zirconia crowns.

Statement Of Problem: Evidence comparing the survival of zirconia crowns with metal-ceramic crowns is sparse. Knowledge of their survival and a comparison of their clinical outcomes would improve clinical decision making.

Purpose: The purpose of this university-based study was to compare the survival, failures, biological and technical complications encountered with zirconia and metal-ceramic crowns restored and followed up over a similar period.

Prevalence of awake Bruxism: A systematic review.

Objectives: To identify the prevalence of Awake Bruxism (AB).

Sources: The electronic search was done in Embase, PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, Livivo, Scopus, and Web of Science databases up to January 2nd, 2023. The search strategies combined terms such as "bruxism," "awake," and related terms when conducting searches in databases.

Postinsertion adjustment appointments and their association with cast removable partial denture survival.

Statement Of Problem: Successful outcomes with cast removable partial dentures (RPDs) are dependent on adequate fabrication and adjustments at the delivery appointment. Evaluation of the number and frequency of postinsertion follow-up appointments helps determine whether the prosthesis continues to fit comfortably and whether function and esthetics continue to be satisfactory. Reports on the number of appointments and frequency and type of adjustments required for RPDs following insertion are sparse.
