Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate which parameters (chemical nature, time after mixing, surface characteristics) might affect the repair strength of temporary crown and bridge materials (t-c&b).

Methods: Four different t-c&bs (Cool Temp Natural, Protemp 3 Garant, Structur Premium, Trim) were investigated using a shear-bond strength (SBS) setup. A cylinder (2 mm x 2.37 mm) of identical t-c&b (n=10) was bonded onto a specimen surface of either freshly set t-c&b (10 min after mixing) or onto specimens that were stored for 24h (37 degrees C, distilled water) and 7 days (thermocycling x 5,000, 5-55 degrees C=TC), respectively. The specimen surface was roughened with SiC paper (grit size 320) or left as it was (specimens stored for 10 min) prior to repair to retain the oxygen-inhibition layer. In addition, mono-block specimens were fabricated as control. The thickness of the oxygen-inhibition layer and the surface morphology was determined. Statistical analysis was carried out with an ANOVA followed by parametric tests (p=0.05).

Results: SBS values ranged from 10 to 40 MPa. Trim showed lowest SBS values for most storage conditions. Material, surface characteristics and time after mixing significantly affected the SBS (ANOVA p<0.001). TC significantly reduced the SBS (p<0.05) for all t-c&bs except for Trim (p>0.05).

Conclusions: In case of monomethacrylates, storage and surface condition do not affect the repair strength. In contrast, the repair quality of dimethacrylates greatly depends on the material. In any case, roughening the surface is recommended, even if an oxygen-inhibition layer is present.

Background: Anatomically formed healing abutments were suggested in literature to address many of the issues associated with immediate posterior implant insertion such as large extraction sockets that are extremely hard to seal without reflecting the mucoperiosteal flap, extraction sockets anatomy that are not suitable for regular healing abutment placement, and potentially high occlusal stresses when planning a temporary implant supported prothesis to improve the conditioning of supra implant tissue architecture and the emergence profile of the implant supported restorations.

Purpose: To clinically evaluate the peri-implant soft tissue profile of single posterior implant retained restorations and to assess patient related outcomes of the implant restorations that were conditioned immediately by CAD-CAM socket sealing abutments (SSA) versus those conditioned by Titanium (Ti) standard healing abutments (SHA).

Methods: Twenty participants received twenty-two single maxillary immediate implants after flapless minimally invasive tooth extraction and 3D guided implant placement in the posterior area (premolar and molar) and allocated randomly into two groups (n = 11), the intervention group: patients received PEEK SSA and the control group: the patients received Ti SHA.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the mixing efficacy and cost-effectiveness of new T-mixer tips against the standard double helical tips for a light-body elastomeric impression and a temporary/interim restorative material using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Methodology: Automixed samples ( = 16) were divided into four groups of four samples each: Samples that were mixed with Helical tip for elastomer, T-mixer tip for elastomer, Helical tip for interim restorative material, and T-mixer tip for interim restorative material. These samples were then evaluated for SEM analysis.

Unlabelled: The aim of this work is to study the mechanical properties of temporary composite crowns and temporary composite orthopedic structures manufactured by 3D printing.

Materials And Methods: For the two studied groups of samples: the original 3D-printed samples and the poured samples from a composite material of a certain shape, 8 samples were made and visually checked for the absence of porosity. The strength and elasticity were measured using the three-point bending method and the hardness was measured using the indentation method.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of finish-line design, tooth preparation taper or total occlusal convergence (TOC), and digital production technology on the retention of provisional crowns for molars.

Material And Methods:  Different taper angles (10° TOC and 20° TOC) and finish line designs (chamfer and shoulder) were used to prepare four mandibular first molar teeth. Two subgroups of the prepared teeth received temporary crowns that were either "Computer-Aided Design" and "Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) milled or 3D printed.
