Background And Aims: Nowadays centric relation is defined as a musculoskeletal stable position, with the condyles forward, as far upward as possible, centered transversely and with the articular disc properly interposed. On the other hand, centric occlusion or maximum intercuspidation is a dental determined position. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the direction, frequency and magnitude of the discrepancy between centric occlusion and centric relation in all three axial directions, in a muscular non-deprogrammed population, before the beginning of orthodontic treatment.
Methods: The study group was represented by 40 symptomatic and asymptomatic patients seeking orthodontic treatment in a private dental office in Cluj-Napoca, Romania between 2014 and 2015. All patients had full records and articulator mounted models. All measurements were analyzed three-dimensionally.
Results: 85% of the patients had vertical and 87.5% had horizontal CO-CR discrepancy for both condyles. 87.5% of the cases have had a significant condylar displacement in at least one of the three planes.
Conclusions: We should be aware of the dental occlusion determined by the dental contacts and the occlusion dictated by the musculoskeletal stable position of the condyles. The bigger the discrepancy between these two positions at the level of the condyles, the greater the chances to have either a patient who will develop a form of TMD before/during or after the orthodontic or prosthetic treatment, or a patient suffering already, but poorly diagnosed.

Background: The fit of a metal-ceramic restoration is essential to its long-term durability. Regarding marginal and internal fit, there is not enough information about the technologies used in the production of metal-ceramic restorations. The aim of this in vitro study is to compare, both before and after porcelain firing, the marginal, axial, axio-occlusal, and occlusal fit of metal-ceramic restorations manufactured using casting, additive or subtractive computer-aided design, and computer-aided manufacturing techniques (CAD/CAM).

Statement Of Problem: The success of a removable partial denture depends on its fit, and, with conventional casting, the framework is more distorted in patients with a deep palatal vault. Questions remain about whether the three-dimensional (3D) printing technique for fabricating a framework can improve the accuracy of fit for these patients.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the trueness of metal frameworks fabricated by selective laser melting, 3D printing pattern casting, and conventional casting for different palatal vault depths.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the influence of fabrication method (conventional, subtractive, and additive procedures) and manufacturing trinomial (technology, printer, and material combination) on the marginal and internal fit of cobaltchromium (Co-Cr) tooth-supported frameworks.
Materials And Methods: An electronic systematic review was performed in five data bases: MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, World of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus. Studies that reported the marginal and internal discrepancies of tooth-supported Co-Cr additive manufacturing (AM) frameworks were included.

Purpose: This in vitro study evaluated the adaptation of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) with different build angles.
Materials And Methods: Maxillary right first premolars and first molars from a typodont were prepared with 1-mm chamfer, 2-mm occlusal reduction, and total taper of 8 degrees to receive three-unit FDPs. After framework design, data were sent to a laser machine, and 30 specimens were fabricated from Co-Cr metal powder by SLM.
