Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of occlusal surface design methods for Cerec2 CAD/CAM all-ceramic coping crown.
Methods: Ten first molar all-ceramic crown preparations were made. Five were normal occlusion, and five were abnormal. The crown was designed by Cerec 2 CAD/CAM using three methods, namely Extrapolation, Correlation and Function, for every preparation. The Z values of mesiobuccal, mesiolingual, distobuccal, distolingual angle in marginal ridge were recorded.
Results: In the normal occlusion group, there was no statistical difference among the three occlusal surface design methods (P > 0.05). In the abnormal occlusion group, there were statistical differences between the occlusal surface design methods (P < 0.05); the function method was noted to be more accurate than the others.
Conclusion: The results indicate that the extrapolation method can be applied to patients with normal occlusion and the function method can be applied to patients with abnormal occlusion.

The human tooth's morphology, which includes variations in cusp numbers and patterns, is of tremendous interest to anthropologists, morphologists, and dentists. Cusp 6 is an additional cusp that is very seldom encountered in primary or permanent mandibular molars, especially first molars. A supernumerary cusp located lingual to the distobuccal cusp at the crown's distal border is cusp 6.

To observe the stability of vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and mandibular position in full-mouth occlusal reconstruction subjects by means of digital occlusal analysis. Six subjects who had completed full-mouth occlusal reconstruction by intraoral functional generated path technique for more than three years in the Department of Prosthodontics, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology were enrolled for follow-up observation, all six patients were male, with an age of (53.6±8.

Background: Preventive dental procedures are cornerstones of caries management.
Introduction: This research aims to analyze the clinical effectiveness of pit and fissure sealants when applied to etched enamel pretreated with solvents compared to the conventional etch and seal technique.
Subjects And Methods: Children and adolescents with clinically healthy occlusal surfaces or noncavitated occlusal carious lesions on permanent first and/or second molars in all four quadrants were randomly allocated into four groups.

Purpose: This study was aimed at investigating the thermal stresses in monolithic zirconia crowns (MZC) of various thicknesses and elucidating their thermal behavior under cooling or heating changes in the oral cavity. Additionally, the clinical availability and potential issues of MZC were examined by comparing them with other crown materials.
Methods: Finite element models comprising MZC (0.

Background: The aim was to evaluate the stresses in teeth, with external root resorption (ERR) restored with different materials using finite element analysis (FEA).
Methods: In this study, a Micro-CT scan was conducted on a prepared maxillary central tooth. DICOM-compatible images obtained from the sections were converted into stereolithography format using Ctan software.
