Surgical and prosthodontic reconstruction of a gunshot injury of the mandible using dental implants and an acrylic resin fixed prosthesis: A clinical report
02/09/2010 16:33
Gunshot injuries to the face can have serious esthetic and functional consequences. Few articles have described the comprehensive management, including surgical and prosthodontic phases of reconstruction, of patients with such injuries. This clinical report describes a 3-year follow-up of the maxillofacial rehabilitation of a gunshot injury to the left mandible using an iliac crest bone graft, dental implants, and an economical acrylic resin fixed prosthesis. The importance of a multidiscip [...]

In vitro fatigue resistance of CAD/CAM composite resin and ceramic posterior occlusal veneers
02/09/2010 16:33
Statement of problem: Thin, bonded, posterior occlusal veneers constitute a conservative alternative to traditional complete coverage crowns. Information regarding selection of the appropriate material and its influence on fatigue resistance, which may affect the longevity of the restoration, is missing. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the fatigue resistance of composite resin and ceramic posterior occlusal veneers. Material and methods [...]

The effect of metal recasting on porcelain-metal bonding: A force-to-failure study
02/09/2010 16:33
Statement of problem: Noble dental alloys are commonly remelted in the dental laboratory, but the effect of repeated casting on porcelain bond strength requires further documentation. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if casting up to 3 times affected metal ceramic bond strength for 3 noble alloys using methodology in ANSI/ADA Specification No. 38. Material and methods: Representative high-gold (Brite Gold XH), gold-palladium (W-5), and palla [...]

Lightness, chroma, and hue distributions of a shade guide as measured by a spectroradiometer
02/09/2010 16:33
Statement of problem: The color attributes of commercially available shade guides have been measured by spectrophotometers (SP), which are designed to measure flat surfaces. However, there is limited information on the color distribution of shade guides as measured by spectroradiometers (SR), which are capable of measuring the color of curved surfaces. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the distributions of lightness (CIE L*) and chroma (C*ab) step interva [...]

A comparison of the rigidity of five mandibular major connectors for partial removable dental prostheses via load deflection
02/09/2010 16:33
Statement of problem: The rigidity of the major connector for partial removable dental prostheses (PRDP) has not been well defined. There is little scientific evidence to support specific standards relative to the dimensions of a casting and their effect on long-term function of the PRDP or the supporting tissues. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro the effects of load deflection of 5 clinically used mandibular major connector forms. Material [...]

A comparison of simulated jaw dynamics in models of segmental mandibular resection versus resection with alloplastic reconstruction
02/09/2010 16:33
Statement of problem: Composite mandibular resection resulting in mandibular discontinuity can alter jaw motion, occlusal forces, and mastication, whether or not the jaw is reconstructed. The biomechanical events associated with these changes are difficult to assess clinically and, therefore, are not well documented or researched. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to model movements of a mandible with a discontinuity defect, and to compare them to movements of a mandi [...]

A technique for indirect fabrication of a complete-arch, implant-supported, fixed provisional restoration from a radiographic template
02/09/2010 16:33
This article describes an alternative technique for the fabrication of a complete-arch, implant-supported, cement-retained, fixed provisional restoration. The definitive cast is fabricated from the surgical guide and the provisional restoration is fabricated indirectly from the radiographic guide. This technique is an easy and time-saving procedure to fabricate an interim prosthesis for immediate or delayed loading of implants.

Creating esthetic posterior restorations by developing anatomical grooves and fossae
02/09/2010 16:33
Restoring a tooth with a direct composite resin restoration frequently results in an outcome that does not meet the expectations of the patient, even when care is exercised in the preparation of the tooth, selection of materials and shade(s), and the tooth restoration procedures. The artistic demands of creating an esthetic result can lead to frustration, but with one additional restorative step, a restoration of marginal esthetic quality can be made into a restoration of natural harmony. Severa [...]

Sterilization of vinyl polysiloxane impression material
02/09/2010 16:33
Most manufacturers of vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression materials for dental use make no claims regarding the sterility of their products. One manufacturer markets a product (Elite Implant; Zhermack, Inc, River Edge, NJ) that is purported to be the only VPS impression material marketed sterile for surgical applications. This VPS is packaged with a mixing tip presterilized in an autoclave envelope, and is meant for 1-time use only.
