Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the load-bearing capacity of three different millable lithium silicate derivatives compared with lithium disilicate ceramic when used as ultra-thin occlusal veneers on eroded molars. The null hypothesis stated th...
Background: Technological progress in the field of prosthetic dentistry has changed the workflow, optimizing times and increasing the possible choices of prosthetic rehabilitation. Methods: The adaptability of three resin plates to the plaster model...
Background: Resin-bonded fixed dental prostheses (RBFDPs) have become an increasingly popular minimally invasive solution for replacing missing anterior teeth. However, their long-term success is influenced by factors such as bridge design and materi...
Background: Assessment of functional occlusion is crucial in orthodontics and prosthodontics. With scientific advancements, optical jaw tracking systems are increasingly used to evaluate mandibular kinematics. Objectives: To compare the performance o...
Introduction: Additive manufacturing has emerged as a promising solution for improving the accessibility and affordability of upper limb prostheses. Despite the growing need, traditional prosthetic devices remain costly and often inaccessible, partic...
Objectives: The term ‘prosthesis’ in reference to breast implants is used to clarify its distinction from the general term ‘breast implant’, which is widely adopted by plastic surgeons. This terminology highlights the role of...
Background: Digital impression techniques for edentulous patients present unique challenges due to the absence of stable anatomical landmarks and variable soft tissue morphology. While intraoral scanners have shown promising results in dentate patien...
Background/Objectives: Digital workflows for implant-supported full-arch restorations remain challenging. This study evaluated the accuracy and precision of digital impressions using reverse scan body (RSB) prototypes and intraoral scanners (IOSs) fo...
Background/Objectives: With advancements in technology, three-dimensional (3D) printing has become widely used, offering many advantages. Recently, 3D printing has been utilized for the fabrication of permanent crowns. However, there is still a need...
Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis was to investigate whether home-based physical therapy (HPT) is as safe and effective as the conventional inpatient/outpatient physical therapy (CPT) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: Three databas...
Background/Objectives: Individuals with transradial limb loss or absence often retain the ability to pro-supinate their forearm, but the traditional design of the prosthesis precludes this motion from being used for direct prosthesis control. Methods...

Standardizing socket design and maintaining a default socket alignment in transtibial prostheses are innovations that aim to simplify fitting procedures and reduce prosthetic service costs, particularly in low-income countries. Objectives: This study...
Background: Transtibial prosthetic sockets are critical components in the complete assembly of a prosthetic, as they form the major load-bearing parts by housing the residual limb of a prosthesis user. Conventional procedures for manufacturing these...
Introduction: Mandibular complete dentures often pose challenges due to anatomical and functional limitations. Impression techniques, including functional, mucostatic, compressive, selective pressure, and neutral zone methods, play a crucial role in...
Background/Objectives: The subject of this work is the reconstruction of the inner mechanics of Götz von Berlichingen’s second iron hand. The complex inner mechanics were unknown until Christian von Mechel published a detailed description...
Background/Objectives: Corrosion resistance of dental alloys, indicated by metal ion release, is a significant concern. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of various sandblasting methods on the corrosion resistance of Co-Cr-W alloy s...
Background/Objectives: Three-dimensional scanning and printing techniques have gained prominence in the fabrication of upper limb prostheses. This paper provides an overview of various studies on the current utilization of 3D scanning and 3D printing...
Objectives: CAD-CAM technology has enabled clinicians to provide accurate and predictable restorations. Chairside time has been reduced and patient’s comfort has been improved. A fully digital workflow can be now predictably adopted in implant...
Objectives: The disinfection of fabricated prostheses is crucial to prevent cross-infection between dental laboratories and clinics. However, there is a lack of information about the effects of chemical disinfection on 3D-printed denture base resins....
Background: This case report addresses the challenges of integrating orthodontic and prosthodontic treatment, particularly in clear aligner cases. The study introduces a novel milled-provisional crown with attachment (M-PCA) technique designed to enh...
