Abstract Purpose This study evaluated the fatigue failure load (FFL) and the number of cycles for fatigue failure (CFF) of traditional (porcelain layer up) and reversed (zirconia layer up) designs of porcelain-veneered zirconia samples prepared with heat-pressing or file-splitting techniques. Materials and Methods Zirconia discs were prepared and...

Abstract Purpose To assess, clinically, patient satisfaction of additively manufactured complete dentures with intraoral scanning and hybrid cast digitization in comparison with conventional complete dentures. Materials and Methods Participants who were edentulous in both arches were recruited and received 3 types of complete dentures (CDs): conventionally...

Abstract Full arch implant supported restorations are a common treatment modality for patients with a terminal dentition or an edentulous mouth. Several mechanical and biological factors that contribute to complications or failure are already extensively documented. Some patients receiving complex implant based treatment plans also suffer from obstructive...

Abstract Purpose : Analog and digital impressions are established procedures for restoration of single-tooth implants. In this study, single-tooth implants were restored with definitive restorations during second-stage surgery. Analog and digital workflows were compared. Material and methods Eighty single-tooth implants were examined in total. In...

Abstract Purpose To investigate the significance of the connector type on stress dissemination within the tooth-implant supported fixed dental prostheses in the mandibular posterior region with different combinations of implant diameter and length by means of finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods Six models of different designs for...

Abstract This case report describes the clinical outcomes of three patients who received removable partial dentures with a completely digitally designed and manufactured metal framework. The initial intraoral impressions were prepared, and the resulting standard tessellation language files were sent to a dental laboratory, where the alloy framework...
