Research has shown that external venting improves the marginal fit of cast crowns by decreasing hydrostatic pressure during seating. In turn, improving marginal fit has been shown to increase the strength of castable glass and other porcelain systems. This study evaluated the effect on the compressive strength of crowns with vent holes placed during and after fabrication. Forty-five artificial crowns were made from each material and divided into three equal groups: (1) crowns without vent holes, (2) crowns with a vent hole placed before casting, and (3) crowns with a vent hole placed using a rotary diamond instrument after casting. Standardized crowns were acid etched, silane treated, and filled with epoxy resin to provide a support base for testing. The crowns were then loaded to failure. One-way analysis of variance showed a significant difference among groups. Scheffe's Multiple Comparison Test was used for discrimination. The Dicor unaltered and fabricated vent group and the Hi-Ceram unaltered group had significantly higher resistance to fracture.

This study presents a methodology for obtaining a precise impression of the crown margin of prepared teeth by utilizing a two-step impression technique. The method begins with the fabrication of a custom tray made from heat-cured acrylic resin, followed by the acquisition of an initial impression using putty elastomeric material. Subsequently, the impression is relieved around the prepared teeth, and vent holes are strategically placed through both the impression and the tray.

Body size estimation from isolated fossil bones reveals deep time evolutionary trends in North American lizards.

Lizards play vital roles in extant ecosystems. However, their roles in extinct ecosystems are poorly understood because the fossil record of lizards consists mostly of isolated bones. This makes it difficult to document changes in lizard morphology and body size over time, which is essential for studies of lizard paleoecology and evolution.

Objective: To evaluate vertical marginal gap after cementation of Zr (zirconium) copings with palatal vent, open vent, and precementation technique on angulated abutments resulting from cement entrapment between intaglio surface of copings and angulated abutments.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four angled abutments and 24 CAD-CAM Zr copings were assigned to three groups depending on the type of cementation technique, comprising eight copings with palatal vent, open vent, and no vent, respectively. Vertical marginal gaps between abutment shoulder and coping margin were evaluated at four points: buccal, palatal, mesial, and distal.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different cements and cementation techniques used in implant-supported restorations and the application of various vent modifications and extraoral replica techniques on the amount of overflowing cement in cemented systems.

Materials And Methods: In this study, three different abutment designs were used as fully closed, occlusal vented, and occlusal + proximal vented. An extraoral replica was produced by milling the CAD/CAM ceramic block.

The lava flow field southwest of Arsia Mons, Mars has complex volcanic geomorphology. Overlapping flows make observations of their total lengths and identification of their source vents impossible. Application of flow emplacement models, which rely upon physical parameters such as flow length, using only the exposed flow may produce inaccurate estimates of effusion rate, viscosity, and yield strength.
