AbstractThis review examines the fundamental processes responsible for the aging mechanisms involved in the degradation of resin‐bonded interfaces, as well as some potential approaches to prevent and counteract this degradation. Current research in several research centers aims at increasing the resin–dentin bond durability. The hydrophilic and acidic characteristi...... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractStatement of the ProblemResin bonding is essential for clinical longevity of indirect restorations. Especially in light of the increasing popularity of computer‐aided design/computer‐aided manufacturing‐fabricated indirect restorations, there is a need to assess optimal bonding protocols for new ceramic/polymer materials a...... hiện toàn bộ
The current challenge in adhesive dentistry is to develop dentin bonding systems that will reproducibly achieve high bond strengths similar to those obtained between resins and acid‐etched enamel. Some of the limitations of dentin as a bonding substrate are that it changes its structure as it is prepared deeper, it is difficult to dry, and its smear layer is weak. Further, it is difficult ...... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTThis report describes a protocol that uses computer technology and medical imaging to virtually place anterior and posterior dental implants and to construct a precise surgical template and prosthesis, which is connected at the time of implant placement. This procedure drastically reduces patient office time, surgical treatment time, and the degre...... hiện toàn bộ

ABSTRACTPurpose: Since the introduction of densely sintered alumina ceramic material in prosthetic dentistry for the fabrication of all‐ceramic crowns, no scientific data have been presented on the color of these restorations in combination with different restorative materials. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the influ...... hiện toàn bộ
Abstract: Older adults present special problems for the dentist trying to establish or reestablish esthetics. Periodontal diseases are of concern for this population since tooth loss from these widespread problems increases with age. In general, this loss occurs because of increased exposure time to pathogenic bacteria, not some change inherent in the body brought o...... hiện toàn bộ
