Statement Of Problem: How occlusal adjustments and finishing of high-translucent monolithic zirconia restorations affect their mechanical behavior is unclear.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the effect of grinding, finishing, and hydrothermal degradation on the roughness, flexural strength, and reliability of fully stabilized zirconia (FSZ) and partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) for monolithic restorations.
Material And Methods: Specimens of PSZ and FSZ were divided into 5 groups: control (Ctrl); those ground by using coarse diamond rotary instrument (Gr); those that underwent grinding, polishing (diamond rubber), and glazing (GrPolGl); those that underwent grinding and glazing (GrGl); and those that underwent grinding and polishing (GrPol). These groups were subdivided into nonaged and hydrothermally aged in autoclave (134 °C, 200 kPa). Three-point bend tests (flexural strength [FS]) were performed (n=30), and roughness (Ra) was measured by using a contact profilometer (n=30). The Weibull moduli were obtained from the FS data. The intergroup FS was analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test and Student-Newman-Keuls method, and the intragroup FS, Mann-Whitney tests (α=.05).
Results: The median FS for PSZ (MPa) for the aforementioned groups is as follows: Gr (1147.8)=GrPol (1210.3)>GrPolGl (815.6)>GrGl (569.7)=Ctrl (583.0). The FS for FSZ (MPa) for the aforementioned groups is as follows: GrPolGl (404.2)=GrGl (427.0)
Conclusions: Monolithic zirconia exhibited a different mechanical behavior after adjustment procedures and hydrothermal aging. Grinding increased the roughness, and polishing reduced the roughness of the ground surface. FS improvement by finishing depended on the type of zirconia. Glazing smoothened the surface but tended to decrease the FS. Aging of PSZ improved the FS except in the control and glazed groups, whereas FSZ was not affected by aging, except in the GrGl group.

Teerthanker Mahaveer University, Morādābād, India.
Background: It has been outlined that LTM (Lower third molar) extracted from patients in which grinding, cleaning, sterilization & demineralization prove to be highly effective as graft material for filling the alveolar socket of the very same patient. These investigations aim to assess the efficiency of ADDM (Autogenous Demineralized Dentin Matrix) graft in third molar extraction sockets.
Purpose: To check the effectiveness of ADDM as graft material in extraction socket by evaluating pain, swelling, trismus, PD (Probing Depth) and bone density.

: Eccentric bruxism is a complex parafunctional activity that involves grinding of teeth and occurs more frequently during sleep. This study aimed to assess differences in condylar parameters (sagittal condylar inclination -SCI and Bennett angle -BA) and mandibular and condylar kinematics during functional and parafunctional movements in bruxers and non-bruxers and to assess a digital method for quantifying eccentric bruxism using an optical jaw tracking system (Modjaw). : The study group included subjects diagnosed with eccentric bruxism according to validated clinical diagnostic criteria.

Background: Orthodontic treatment involves manipulation of tooth position that can temporarily lead to occlusal interferences capable of inducing bruxism. The objectives of this study were to determine the self-reported incidence of bruxism and its association with factors such as facial type, divergence, skeletal and dental malocclusions in orthodontic patients.
Materials And Methods: 80 patients who underwent a minimum of six months of orthodontic treatment were surveyed using a validated self-reported bruxism questionnaire for the presence or absence of bruxism.
