Published: October 2004

Ceramic inlays and onlays have significant aesthetic and biologic benefits. Long-term clinical studies on the success of ceramic inlays and onlays, however, provide only limited observation periods, considering that such restorations rely on current and constantly improving adhesive bonding techniques. Alternative materials, such as cast-gold restorations, have a long history of documented clinical success, which should be taken into consideration when making decisions on proper restorative material selection.

Minimally Invasive Glass-Ceramic Restorations: Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcomes in Full-Mouth Rehabilitations.

J Dent

January 2025

Clinic of Reconstructive Dentistry, Center for Dental Medicine, University of Zurich, Plattenstrasse 11, CH-8032, Zurich, Switzerland.

Objectives: To evaluate clinical outcomes (restoration survival, technical and biological complications), and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of full mouth rehabilitation with minimally invasive glass-ceramic restorations after up to 12 years of clinical service.

Materials And Methods: Twenty individuals (12 females, 8 males) received full-mouth rehabilitation with minimally invasive tooth-supported glass-ceramic restorations during the years 2009 - 2017 and agreed to participate in a follow-up visit. Full dental and periodontal examinations were completed, and the restorations were evaluated according to United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria.

Fit accuracy and fracture resistance evaluation of advanced lithium disilicate crowns (in- vitro study).

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Division of Fixed Prosthodontics, Conservative Dentistry Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.

Background: Increasing demand for durable and aesthetically pleasing dental restorations, including laminates, inlays, onlays, and crowns, has led to advancements in all-ceramic systems, particularly with the development of advanced lithium disilicate materials. However, limited data on the fit accuracy and fracture resistance of these materials restricts their wider application in clinical restorative practices.

Aim Of The Study: This in vitro study aims to compare the marginal and internal fit, assess the fracture resistance, and evaluate the failure modes of crowns fabricated from advanced and conventional lithium disilicate materials.

Background: Surgical techniques for biceps tenodesis vary in approach, fixation strategy, and anatomic location without clear superior technique for this common procedure.

Hypothesis/purpose: The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate a randomized cohort of patients undergoing arthroscopic suprapectoral (ASBT) with interference screw fixation using an inlay technique versus mini-open subpectoral (MOBT) with a unicortical button implant using an onlay technique with regards to 1) clinical outcome measures and 2) structural healing as evaluated by ultrasound.

Methods: From May 2017 to April 2021, patients undergoing biceps tenodesis were preoperatively randomized to either ASBT or MOBT.

Purpose: We aimed to analyze the influence of different designs (inlay, onlay, and crown) on stress distribution and crack propagation in an endodontically treated cracked premolar.

Methods: Three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to model an endodontically treated cracked premolar with three different restorations (inlay, onlay, and crown). Six types of loadings (vertical loading of 600 N; hot thermal-600 N vertical coupling loading; cold thermal-600 N vertical coupling loading; oblique loading of 200 N; hot thermal-200 N oblique coupling loading; cold thermal-200 N oblique coupling loading) were applied to simulate the hot and cold food/beverages intake.

Purpose: To evaluate the maximal load to failure, cyclic displacement, stiffness, and modes of failure of onlay subpectoral biceps tenodesis with an intramedullary unicortical metal button (MB) versus an inlay, all-suture Caspari-Weber (CW) technique.

Methods: Sixteen matched paired human cadaveric proximal humeri were randomly allocated for subpectoral BT with either CW or MB using a high-strength suture (N = 16; 8 male, 8 female, mean age = 82.5 years, range 62-99 years).
