Objectives: There is a lack of comprehensive indexes, which can measure conditions or changes in dento-facial esthetics before and after treatment. Therefore, the 12-item Dental Esthetic Screening Index (DESI) was developed and validated.
Materials And Methods: Reliability was tested by five dental professionals, who evaluated 30 standardized patient photographs baseline and after 14 days.
Statement Of Problem: Little is known about the clinical performance of fixed dental prostheses that rigidly connect adhesive retainers and crowns.
Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to assess and compare the clinical performance of resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses with a conventional and a mixed retainer design.
Material And Methods: Included as participants were all patients of the hospital since 2004 with regular clinical follow-up who were treated with 3-unit or 4-unit metal ceramic resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses with a conventional 2-adhesive retainer design (conventional group) or with a mixed type combining an adhesive retainer with a crown or a partial crown retainer (mixed group).
Purpose: The objectives of this work were to systematically review the effect of bruxism on the survival of zirconia restorations on teeth and to assess the prevalence of nocturnal masseter muscle activity in a clinical sample.
Materials And Methods: A Medline search was performed independently and in triplicate using the term "zirconia" and activating the filter "clinical trial." Furthermore, three other electronic databases were searched using the same term.
