Application of polymeric porcelain color-masking cast posts in the aesthetic repair of anterior teeth: a case report.

Many patients with large-area tooth defect need cast post-core crown restoration. However, the color defect of the cast post-core will affect the final restorative result, especially that of the anterior teeth. A new technology of color masking by applying CERAMAGE polymeric porcelain to the cast metal post-core surface improves the color of a full-ceramic restoration of anterior teeth and may provide a new alternative for the aesthetic repair of anterior teeth with a large area of defective tooth.

Theoretical investigation on the structural and thermodynamic properties of FeSe at high pressure and high temperature.

A theoretical investigation on structural and thermodynamic properties of 11-type iron-based superconductor FeSe at high pressure and high temperature was performed by employing the first-principles method based on the density functional theory. Some structural parameters of FeSe in both tetragonal and hexagonal phases are reported. According to the fourth-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of states, the transition pressure P(t) of FeSe from the PbO-type phase to the NiAs-type phase was determined.
