Unlabelled: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of crown fractures of permanent incisors in schoolchildren aged 7-11 years from the town of Plovdiv.
Material And Methods: The present study included 2572 children (1287 boys and 1285 girls) at the age of 7 to 11 years from Plovdiv. A modification of the WHO classification for reporting crown fractures was used. Examinations were performed only of the upper and lower incisors, in the classrooms at daylight. Treatments of the fractured teeth after the trauma were also registered. The results were analysed statistically by calculating the chi-square to determine if there was any significant difference between the variables.
Results: The prevalence of crown fractures of permanent teeth in children aged 7-11 years from Plovdiv was 8.67 +/- 0.55%. The crown fracture prevalence in boys was significantly higher than that in the girls for all examined children. Most of the children had only one fractured tooth (82.96 +/- 2.52%). The prevalence of the incisor crown fractures by teeth was 1.28 +/- 0.08%. The greatest number of fractured teeth were located in the maxilla (88.20 +/- 1.99%). Most often the fractures involved only the enamel or the enamel and dentine while complicated crown fractures with pulpal exposure were found in 5.32 +/- 1.38%. Most of the fractured teeth were left untreated (84.79 +/- 2.40%).
Conclusions: The prevalence of permanent incisor crown fractures in children aged 7-11 years from Plovdiv was 8.67 +/- 0.55%; and by teeth--1.28 +/- 0.08%. Children with only one fractured tooth were the greatest part of all injured children in the study. There were significantly more maxillary teeth fractures, with predominance of uncomplicated crown fractures in the permanent teeth. Treated fractured teeth were very few. Treatment was needed for 78.92 +/- 2.73% of all registered fractured incisors.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the fracture resistance of chairside computer assisted design and computer assisted manufacturing (CAD-CAM) lithium disilicate partial and full-coverage crowns and veneers for maxillary canines.
Methods And Materials: Forty-eight restorations for maxillary right canines (12 per group) were designed as follows: (1) partial crown with finish line in the upper middle third; (2) partial crown with finish line in the lower middle third; (3) traditional labial veneer; and (4) traditional full-coverage crown. Restorations were fabricated out of lithium disilicate (Amber Mill, Hassbio) using a chairside CAD-CAM system (Cerec Dentsply Sirona).
Comprehensive review of polyetheretherketone use in dentistry.

School of Pharmacy, North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study reviews the current applications, limitations, and challenges of using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in stomatology, highlighting its importance in various dental procedures.
- Numerous studies underscore PEEK's beneficial properties, such as biocompatibility and fracture resistance, and its use in many dental applications, including implants and orthodontic devices.
- Despite its potential, most evidence is based on short-term studies, indicating a need for more long-term clinical research to fully support PEEK's effectiveness in dentistry.
Influence of wall thickness on the fracture resistance of hollow zirconia artificial teeth fabricated by 3D zirconia printing.

Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, Medical University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how wall thickness impacts the fracture load of 3D printed hollow zirconia teeth.
- Different wall thicknesses (0.30, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 mm) were tested, with results showing that thicker walls (≥0.75 mm) had a greater fracture resistance.
- Filling hollow teeth with resin significantly improved their strength, especially in thinner designs, highlighting the importance of wall thickness and material in dental applications.

Objective: This study compared the fracture load, stress distribution, and survival probability under cyclic loading of extensively restored teeth treated with multisonic irrigation with those treated with conventional instrumentation, with or without a post.
Methods: Mesial-occlusal-distal cavities were prepared in 30 human mandibular premolars. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 based on the endodontic and restorative procedures: (1) Root canal treatment (RCT) followed by resin composite restoration (control group), (2) RCT followed by a glass fiber post restoration (conventional group), and (3) minimal instrumentation plus multisonic irrigation followed by resin composite restoration (GW group).

Department of Biomaterials Science and Turku Clinical Biomaterial Center -TCBC, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Turku, Finland.
Background: Short fiber-reinforced composites (SFRCs) are restorative materials for large cavities claimed to effectively resist crack propagation. This study aimed to compare the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of five commercially available SFRCS (Alert, Fibrafill Flow, Fibrafill Dentin, everX Flow, and everX Posterior) against a conventional particulate-filled composite (PFC, Essentia Universal).
Methods: The following characteristics were evaluated in accordance with ISO standards: flexural strength and modulus and fracture toughness.
