A comparative evaluation of internal and marginal fits of custom post and core fabricated using conventional and two digital techniques: An in vitro study.

Aim: The purpose of this in vitro study was to comparatively evaluate the marginal and internal fits of cobalt-chromium metal custom post and core fabricated using a conventional technique with two digital techniques.

Settings And Design: The study was designed in an in-vitro study setting.

Materials And Methods: Five sets of custom post and core restorations were fabricated using the conventional (Group 1) and two semi digital methods (digital scanning of the resin pattern and computer aided additive manufacturing, and digital scanning of the silicone impression and subsequent computer aided designing [CAD] computer aided manufacturing fabrication) (Group 2 and 3).

Osseoperception: An Implant Mediated Sensory Motor Control- A Review.

Osseointegration of dental implants has been researched extensively, covering various aspects such as bone apposition, biomechanics and microbiology etc however, physiologic integration of implants and the associated prosthesis in the body has received very little attention. This integration is due to the development of a special sensory ability, which is able to restore peripheral sensory feedback mechanism. The underlying mechanism of this so-called 'osseoperception' phenomenon remains a matter of debate.

A Comparative Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength Between Two Commercially Available Heat Cured Resilient Liners and Denture Base Resin with Different Surface Treatments.

Background: Soft denture liners are widespread materials used in prosthetic dentistry. Their mechanical properties have to meet several key requirements such as adequate bond to denture base resins in order to provide right function of masticatory system and oral hygiene.

Aim: To evaluate and compare the shear bond strength between two commercially available liners and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) denture base resin with different surface treatments.
