Objective: The Ti6Al4V titanium alloy is widely used for dental implants because of its excellent mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, its bioinert surface limits both osseointegration and resistance to bacteria...
Background/Purpose: Teeth prepared for fixed dental prostheses are subject to various types of insults in the oral cavity. Therefore, to protect the tooth, the pulp, and supporting structures, provisional restorations are mandatory. Our study aimed t...
Background: Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) have emerged as transformative materials in restorative dentistry, particularly for managing partial edentulism through fixed partial dentures (FPDs). Their superior aesthetic, mechanical, and adhesive p...
Background/Objectives: Tooth colour perception is critical to aesthetic outcomes in restorative dentistry and patient satisfaction. Psychological and gender-related factors may modulate individual colour perception. This study evaluates the influence...
Background/Objectives: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the five-year clinical performance of removable partial dentures (RPDs) made of chromium–cobalt–molybdenum alloy, comparing two different post-casting cooling methods: slow...
As the world’s population ages, the incidence of chronic disorders is on the rise. Active Implantable Medical Devices are, therefore, evolving to meet the challenge. As the size of these devices decreases to facilitate implantation, the challen...
Background: This retrospective comparative clinical study aimed to evaluate the performance of digital versus conventional impression techniques in the fabrication of implant-supported prosthetic restorations. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 cas...
Background/Objectives: Mandibular advancement oral appliances (MAOAs) for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome treatment can be rendered more convenient by adopting a separate and movable design; however, concerns regarding possible weakening of effect h...
Background/Objectives: A comparative study of silver (Ag), titanium nitride (TiN), zirconium nitride (ZrN), and copper (Cu) coatings on titanium (Ti) disks, considering the specifications of a microporous skin- and bone-integrated titanium pylon (SBI...
Background: 3D printing (3DP) workflow has made its entry in the upper limb prostheses (ULP) manufacturing process. Although it represents a valuable change in clinical practice, its implementation is not ubiquitous. Additional data are required to e...
