Purpose: We investigated the durability of the cutting tool(bar)that is used when creating a dental crown by using the CAD/CAM system of a computer-assisted NC machine tool.
Methods: We used the chamfer type as the shape of the dental cervical margin of the support tooth model. We also used a mold model whose shaft surfaces on both sides had an 8-degree taper. We used the CAD/CAM system of DENTAL Cadim (Advance Inc.). First, we manufactured a nonocclusion dental crown of the resin-pattern on top of the support dental model, and measured its 3-dimensional shape. Upon measuring the 3-dimensional shape, we created a pure-titanium block by using cutting bars continuously for rough processing and for finishing processing separately. Upon completion of the pure-titanium block, we measured the time required for each processing and measured the surface roughness after each processing.
Results: The surface roughness Ra of the rough processing became significantly worse after the fifth processing (p<0.01). Rmax became significantly worse after the sixth processing(p<0.05)and after the seventh processing (p<0.01). The surface roughness of both Ra and Rmax of the finishing processing became significantly worse after the fifth processing (p<0.05) and after the seventh processing (p<0.01).
Conclusions: From the viewpoint of quality of the crown's finished surface and compatibility fitness, the number of cuttings, the number of rough processing and the number of finishing processing using the same cutting tool for making a full crown of a molar tooth should be limited to four times.

Background Toothbrush manufacturers commonly use bristle materials such as nylon, polybutylene terephthalate, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, boar hair, bamboo, carbon fiber, silicone, polylactic acid, or their modifications such as Curen. Nylon filaments have long been demonstrated to be durable and are widely used, but not much is known regarding the performance of Curen filaments compared to nylon filaments. This in vitro study compared the stiffness, abrasion potential, abrasion resistance, and bristle surface changes of Curen and nylon filaments.

Objective: This study presents a novel digital interproximal enamel reduction (IER) clinical procedure, aiming to improve the effectiveness of IER processes in orthodontic treatment.
Methods: A malocclusion case of skeletal-class I and angle-class I was selected for the experimental investigation. A three-dimensional (3D) model of the dentition was constructed using scanning data from a plaster model.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of a cold ceramic (CC) sealer with the single-cone obturation technique with that of an AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth.
Materials And Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, the root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted single-canal teeth were instrumented to F3 files by the crown-down technique and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 12). The root canals were obturated with a CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique with 4% gutta-percha in group 1 and with an AH-26 sealer and lateral compaction technique with 2% gutta-percha in group 2.

Purpose: This retrospective clinical study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of surveyed monolithic computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) zirconia crowns for abutment teeth in removable partial dentures (RPDs).
Methods: Patients who received monolithic surveyed zirconia crowns were clinically examined. The crowns were examined according to the modified United States Public Health Service criteria, and Kaplan-Meier survival was determined.

Introduction: Endodontic access is often one of the most challenging aspects of treatment, particularly in cases involving locating calcified or missed canals, or when performing selective retreatments of a targeted root. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy of targeted accesses made using prefabricated grid to those made using freehand techniques with CBCT measurements METHODS: Twenty extracted maxillary molars were mounted into the TrueJaw maxillary model (PlanB Dental, CA). To replicate a clinical scenario where the tooth is extensively restored or has a calcified pulp chamber, the build-up material was intentionally placed directly over the canal orifices.
