This article describes a method of in-office fabrication of an occlusal device for treatment of bruxism patients seeking a less costly alternative to laboratory-processed splints. This technique eliminates the need for mounted casts and the expense and delay associated with commercial laboratory involvement. It also minimizes patient and operator exposure to acrylic resin monomer and high temperatures associated with its polymerization reaction by use of a light-polymerized blue urethane dimethacrylate resin.

Statement Of Problem: The accuracy of the interproximal and occlusal contacts of single posterior implant-supported restorations designed using computer-aided design (CAD) software programs remains uncertain.
Purpose: The aim of this clinical study was to assess the interproximal and occlusal contacts of single posterior implant-supported restorations designed with 2 distinct dental CAD software programs.
Material And Methods: Forty single posterior implant-supported restorations were evaluated for interproximal and occlusal contacts.
Evaluating fatigue resistance in occlusal veneers: a comparative study of processing techniques and material thickness of lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press vs. IPS e.max CAD).

Department of Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Background: Lithium disilicate occlusal veneers are popular for minimally invasive posterior teeth restoration. The aim of this study was to compare the fatigue resistance and crack pattern of lithium disilicate occlusal veneers fabricated using pressing and milling techniques with varying thicknesses.
Methods: Sixty lithium disilicate discs, representing occlusal veneers, were divided into four groups (n = 15) based on processing technique (IPS e.
Edge Chipping Resistance and Flexural Strength of CAD-CAM Ceramics Before and After Thermomechanical Aging.

Department of Prosthodontics and Research Institute of Oral Science, College of Dentistry, Gangneung-Wonju National University, Gangneung, Republic of Korea.
Objectives: To evaluate the complementary mechanical properties of dental ceramics using edge chipping resistance (Rea) and flexural strength before and after thermomechanical aging.
Material And Methods: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing of ceramic materials, including zirconia (ZR), lithium disilicate (LS2), and resin nanoceramics (RNC), were evaluated. Specimens for flexural strength testing were fabricated with dimensions of 3 × 4 × 25 mm, with 30 specimens per group.
