Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine gloss and surface roughness (Ra) of pediatric anterior zirconia crowns.
Methods: Gloss of labial and lingual surfaces of pediatric anterior zirconia crowns from three manufacturers was measured on 20 specimens using a small area gloss meter on each. Ra (μm) was measured using a contact-type surface profilometer. Data were evaluated by analysis of variance and pair-wise comparison at the 0.05 level of significance.
Results: There were statistically significant interactions between surface location and crown type for both gloss and Ra scores. NuSmile had higher mean gloss scores and lower mean Ra scores than both Kinder Krowns and EZCrowns. Kinder Krowns showed lower mean gloss scores and higher Ra scores than other crown groups.
Conclusion: Among all crowns, there was a trend of higher mean gloss paired with lower mean surface roughness, and lower mean gloss paired with higher mean Ra. Hand smoothed followed by mechanically polished zirconia crowns (NuSmile) displayed the highest mean gloss and lowest mean Ra compared to hybrid polishedglazed zirconia crowns (Kinder Krowns, EZCrowns). Of the hybrid polished-glazed zirconia crowns, Kinder Krowns displayed the lowest mean gloss and highest mean Ra.

This study numerically investigates the impact of different loading modes on the biomechanical response of an osseointegrated dental implant. While finite element modeling is commonly employed to investigate the mechanical behavior of dental implants, several models lack physiological accuracy in their loading conditions, omitting occlusal contact points that influence stress distribution in periimplant bone. Using 3D finite element modeling and analysis, stress distributions at the bone-implant interface are evaluated under both physiological loading, incorporating natural occlusal contact points, and non-physiological loading conditions, with a focus on load transmission mechanisms and the potential risk of bone overloading.

Background: Various surgical techniques have recently been developed for periodontal tissue regeneration, especially those do not involve any incisions in the interdental papillae at the regeneration site. These techniques have significant advantages for obtaining clinical attachment gain with least amount of gingival recession, however, may also have disadvantages such as limited field of surgical view, difficulty in debridement, and limited access only from the buccal side. This case report addresses a 2-year follow-up with a novel surgical approach to achieve periodontal regeneration that overcomes these limitations: the flexible tunnel technique (FTT).

Introduction: Implantology has become a primary solution for tooth loss due to excellent osseointegration and high long-term success rates. However, complications such as abutment screw loosening, especially in implant-supported single crowns, compromise prosthesis longevity. Anaerobic adhesives (AAs) have shown promise in mechanical fields for preventing screw loosening, but their effectiveness in dental implants, particularly zirconia, remains uncertain.

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.
