Shear bond strength evaluation of different veneering systems on Ni-Cr alloys.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of four esthetic veneering materials on nickel-chromium (Ni-Cr) alloy.

Materials And Methods: Forty square patterns (10 x 10 x 1.5 mm) were cast with Ni-Cr, divided equally into four groups, and received four treatments for veneering: conventional porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), Artglass, Targis/Vectris, and Biodent light-cured prosthodontic composite resins.

Cephalometric evaluation of maxillomandibular relationships in patients wearing complete dentures: a pilot study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in vertical and sagittal maxillomandibular relationship of the patients who had been wearing dentures for an extensive period. Fifteen edentulous patients (seven men and eight women; mean age 63.5 years) who had worn dentures for six to 16 years (mean 10 years) were selected for this study.

Tensile strength of type IV dental stones dried in a microwave oven.

Statement Of Problem: It is known that drying dental stones in a microwave oven can save time, but the strength of the material may be affected by different drying methods.

Purpose: This study evaluated the diametral tensile strength (DTS) of 5 type IV gypsum products at different time intervals using microwave and air-drying methods.

Material And Method: .
