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 characteristics of current dentin
adhesives ha... 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 and indirect composites.Purpose of the StudyThe
aim of this article w... 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 to
avoid... 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 degree of post‐treatment recovery.

ABSTRACT Purpose: 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 influence of five different restorative materials used
for implan... 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 on by the aging process.
