Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome and risk factors for chairside CAD/CAM full cusp coverage restorations on endodontically treated posterior teeth after 3 years of follow-up.
Methods: A total of 245 endodontically treated posterior teeth of 224 patients were included and restored with CAD/CAM full cusp coverage all-ceramic restorations according to a standardized protocol. Patients were recalled after treatments 1 to 3 years and underwent clinical and radiological examinations.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the therapies of low-level green laser and chemical desensitizer in the treatment of dentin hypersensitivity (DH). Forty-eight patients with 96 sensitive teeth were invited to participate in this clinical trial and were randomly divided into three groups. One group was treated with low-level green laser, the second group was treated with desensitizer [sodium fluoride (NaF)], and the third group acted as the placebo group and was treated with distilled water and placebo laser.

Methods: A total of 345 CBCT volumes obtained by Newtom VGI® CBCT were analyzed by using the NNT software. The digital measurements of the labial bone plate thickness at level 4 mm below the CEJ, the midpoint of tooth root and the radiological tooth apex, the distance between the CEJ and alveolar crest, and the angle between the long axis of the teeth and the long axis of alveolar process were obtained from the mid-sagittal planes of maxillary incisors and canines.
