Metal alloys, pure titanium, metal-ceramics, and ceramic materials are used for fixed dental prostheses, which contained lead and potentially involved hepatotoxicity. To investigate the connection between fixed dental prostheses, blood lead levels, and liver function. A cross-sectional study enrolled 3624 American adults were conducted.

LaSrCoO (LSC) coatings with a thickness of 50-100 µm were deposited on Fe-25Cr ferritic stainless steel (DIN 50049) via screen printing. The required suspension had been prepared using fine LSC powders synthesised using EDTA gel processes. In its bulk form, the LSC consisted entirely of the rhombohedral phase with space group , and it exhibited high electrical conductivity (~144 S·cm).

Restorative material selection has become increasingly challenging due to the speed of new developments in the field of dental material science. The present narrative review gives an overview of the current indications for implant abutments and restoration materials for provisional and definitive implant-supported fixed dental prostheses in partially edentulous patients. For single implant restorations, titanium base abutments for crowns are suggested as an alternative to the conventional stock- and customized abutments made out of metal or zirconia.

Ti(C,N)-based cermet is a kind of composite material composed of a metal binder phase and a Ti(C,N)-hard phase, which is widely used in the fields of cutting machining and wear-resistant parts due to its high hardness, good toughness, wear resistance, and chemical stability. In recent years, the research on the replacement of traditional Ni, Co, and Fe binder phases by novel binder phases such as intermetallic compounds and high-entropy alloys has made remarkable progress, which significantly improves the mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature oxidation resistance of Ti(C,N)-based cermets. This paper reviews the latest research results, summarizes the mechanism of the new binder to improve the performance of metal-ceramics, and looks forward to the future research directions.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is commonly used in implant dentistry for the fabrication of implant-supported interim prostheses and as milled or 3D-printed prototypes. This article describes a novel protocol to prosthetically restore a completely edentulous patient following a digital workflow, with fixed, screw-retained, implant-supported prostheses fabricated from CAD/CAM milled PMMA, with no metal substructure.
