Context: To understand the effect of masticatory and parafunctional forces on the integrity of the prosthesis and the underlying cement layer.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress pattern in the cement layer and the fixed prosthesis, on subjecting a three-dimensional finite element model to simulated occlusal loading.
Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional finite element model was simulated to replace missing mandibular first molar with second premolar and second molar as abutments.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of water temperature on the marginal fit of bis-acrylic composite provisional crown during resin polymerization.
Materials And Methods: Precisely machined 10 brass master dies were designed to simulate molar teeth. Five brass dies were selected and precisely machined to simulate all ceramic crown preparation.
