Published: October 2004

Objective: In this study, the time-related pH changes that occur in cements having different structures were observed.

Method And Materials: Eight cements consisting of four permanent and four temporary cements were used. The materials were prepared according to manufacturers' instructions. The materials were used in 0.100 +/- 0.02-g increments, with the purpose of standardizing the effect of massive differences. The 80 total specimens, including 10 from each cement type, were prepared, and the pH value of the distilled water was measured at 3,10,30,60, and 120 minutes, and then again 24 hours later.

Results: Analysis of variance showed the relation between the kind of cement and its pH change during the course of the study was statistically significant.

Conclusion: Though temporary cements indicated neutral pH from the beginning of the study, the acidity of the other cements changed with time and took values approximate to neutral pH within 24 hours.

Objectives: This double-blind randomised crossover trial aimed to compare the aesthetic outcomes of CAD-CAM manufactured provisional restorations created using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and intraoral scanners (IOS) acquisition methods.

Methods: Twelve participants (mean-age: 38 ± 5 years) requiring full mouth rehabilitation were included in this crossover trial. Two sets of identical CAD-CAM provisional restorations, differing only in the method of data acquisition (A: CBCT, B: IOS), were fabricated.

Background: The placement of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in the mandibular buccal shelf area is a common option for distalizing the lower arch. Therefore, the study of bone thickness and depth in this area is mandatory before planning TAD insertion. The aim of this study was to quantify the width and depth of the mandibular buccal shelf structure and examine its associations with sex, age, skeletal class and vertical pattern.

This case report presents a three-year follow-up of a young male with bilateral hindfoot fractures due to a high-energy road traffic accident, resulting in a comminuted open calcaneal fracture on the left and an open fracture-dislocation of the right talus. Staged reconstruction was performed, including initial debridement, temporary cement spacers, and subsequent fixation with femoral head allografts (FHAs). The right foot underwent a tibiotalocalcaneal (TTC) fusion, and the left foot received a double arthrodesis.

Assessing correlation between different temporary restorative materials for microleakage following endodontic treatment: an in-vitro study.

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, Saveetha University, Chennai, 600077, Tamil Nadu, India.

Background: Coronal microleakage, the passage of fluids and bacteria through the interface between the temporary restoration and the tooth structure, can potentially result in endodontic treatment failure.

Purpose: This study evaluated and compared the sealing efficacy of various temporary restorative materials utilized during endodontic procedures.

Methods: All seventy premolar teeth were extracted, measured, and restored, except for the negative control group, where the teeth were left whole.

Surface characteristics of resin composite cores and bond strength to CAD/CAM resin matrix glass-ceramic restorations after different treatment protocols.

Department of Occlusion, Fixed Prosthodontics and Dental Materials, School of Dentistry, Federal University of Uberlandia, Av. Pará, 1720, Bloco 4L, Anexo A, sala 4LA-42, Campus Umuarama, Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, 38405-320, Brazil.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of various mechanical surface treatments on the surface roughness and microtensile bond strength (µTBS) of aged composite resin cores bonded to CAD/CAM restorations. Composite resin specimens (Filtek Z350 XT, 3M-ESPE/Solventum) were thermally aged and subsequently divided into four groups (n = 36) according to surface treatments: UI-cleaning with ultrasonic diamond tip; AO-sandblasting with 50 µm AlO; DB-cleaning with diamond burs; and CG-positive control group, without aging or surface treatment. Surface roughness was assessed using a profilometer and interferometer, with measurements taken on both sides of each specimen (n = 12).
