Centre for Mechanics and Materials Technologies (CT2M), Universidade do Minho, Azurém, 4800-058 Guimarães, Portugal; Universidade do Minho, SEMAT/UM, Azurém, 4800-058 Guimarães, Portugal.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of thermal cycling on the shear bond strength of the porcelain/Ti-6Al-4V interfaces prepared by two different processing routes and metallic surface conditions. Polished and SiO2 particle abraded Ti-6Al-4V alloy and Triceram bonder porcelain were used to produce the interfaces. Porcelain-to-metal specimens were processed by conventional furnace firing and hot pressing.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate, through a systematic review of the literature, the effects of different implant surface modifications on osseointegration in diabetic subjects.

Methods: A search was performed of the PubMed database, using a combination of the following keywords: "Implant surface" OR "Dental implants" AND "Diabetes" OR "Hyperglycemia". Papers published in English between January 1960 and November 2013 were selected.

The aim of this study was to correlate the root trunk height from the furcation openings on the buccal, mesial and distal surfaces to the cemento-enamel junction in upper first permanent molars in human beings with risk for periodontal disease progression. One hundred extracted maxillary first molars were used. Reference points and demarcations were determined from the entrance of the buccal (F1), mesial (F2) and distal (F3) furcations to the cemento-enamel junction in millimeters.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the impact of different sharpening stones on the cutting angles of periodontal curettes (Gracey 5-6) using scanning electron microscopy.
  • In the first phase, the researchers analyzed the cutting angles of fifteen curettes sharpened with varying stones, while the second phase focused on evaluating the root surfaces of 25 extracted teeth after being treated with these sharpened curettes.
  • Results indicated that synthetic stones led to more abrasive and irregular cutting angles, while Arkansas stones produced smoother angles, but there were no significant differences in root surface irregularity across the groups tested.
