The effect of ceramic bonder on shear bond strength at the metal-ceramic interface in casted and direct metal laser sintering cobalt-chromium alloy - An in vitro study.

Aim:: (1) The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a ceramic bonder at the metal ceramic interface in sintered and casted cobalt–chromium (Co–Cr) alloy. (2) To compare the shear bond strength between the different manufacturing techniques: Casting and direct metal laser sintering (DMLS).

Setting And Design:: comparative study.

Comparative evaluation of enamel wear against monolithic zirconia and layered zirconia after polishing and glazing: An study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the wear behavior of human tooth enamel opposing monolithic zirconia and layered zirconia after glazing and polishing by a two-body wear mechanism using a wear simulator.

Settings And Design: This In-vitro study was done in Department of Prosthodontics, Sri Sai College of Dental Research, Vikarabad.

Materials And Methods: Zirconia specimens were divided into four groups (n = 15), Group monolithic glazed zirconia (MG), Group monolithic polished zirconia (MP), Group zirconia layered with E.

Effectiveness of denture cleansers on flexible denture base resins in the removal of stains colored by food colorant solution: An study.

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare the efficiency of three denture cleansers (Valclean, Polident and Clinsodent) in removal of turmeric stains from flexible denture base resins.

Settings And Design: In vitro - comparative study.

Materials And Methods: A total of 45 specimens of flexible denture base resins were fabricated and subjected to baseline colour measurements using spectrophotometer.

Evaluation of flexural strength of Zirconia using three different connector designs: An study.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the flexural strength of zirconia using three different connector designs under vertical and oblique loads.

Setting And Design: Invitro - analytical study.

Materials And Methods: For simulating zirconia fixed partial prosthesis, a specimen with three octagonal cylinders connected with each other was designed.

A cephalometric analysis of Class II dentate subjects to establish a formula to determine the occlusal plane in Class II edentate subjects: A neo adjunct.

Purpose: Occlusal plane (OP) differs considerably in participants with skeletal Class I and Class II participants. In this study, cephalometrics has been used to help in the determination of orientation of the OP utilizing the nonresorbable bony anatomic landmarks in skeletal Class II participants and an attempt has been made to predict and examine the OP in individuals with skeletal class II jaw relationship.

Materials And Methods: One hundred dentulous participants with skeletal Class II malocclusion who came to the hospital for correcting their jaw relationship participated in the study.
