Marginal Fit of Three Commonly Used Veneers for Smile Enhancement: An In Vitro Study.

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the marginal fit of three most commonly used veneers in dentistry.A maxillary central incisor was embedded in a self-cure acrylic resin block, with the crown and 2 mm of the root exposed to facilitate standardized tooth preparation. Following the preparation, 30 elastomeric impressions were made to produce master casts.

Assessing the Longevity of Zirconia-Based Crowns in Bruxism Patients.

Background: Bruxism is a parafunctional habit that often leads to excessive wear and tear of dental restorations. Zirconia-based crowns are increasingly used due to their superior mechanical properties and esthetic advantages.

Materials And Methods: A total of 80 patients (ages 25-60) with diagnosed bruxism were selected for the study.

Evaluation and Comparison of the Effect of Three Dental Luting Cements on Mineralized Bone Derived from Dental Pulp Stem Cells: An In Vitro Study.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of zinc phosphate (ZnP) cement, glass ionomer cement (GIC), and nano-integrated bio-ceramic (NIB) cement on mineralization when placed in contact with bone tissue-forming cells. ZnP cement, GIC, and NIB cement were divided into direct and indirect groups. A total of 72 cement pellets (24 pellets of each test sample) of 3 × 1 mm (width × height) were prepared using polytetrafluoroethylene molds.

Assessing the Impact of Dental Implant Length on Early Failure Rates: A Retrospective Analysis.

Introduction: The selection criteria of implant is very critical. Implant length determines the mechanics of osseointegration.

Objective: To investigate the influence of dental implant length on early failure rates, osseointegration success, peri-implant bone loss, and patient-reported outcomes.

Evaluation of Two Different Approaches to Health Education (Tailored Leaflet vs Video) on Referral Compliance for Prosthetic Replacement of Missing Teeth Among the Patients at a University Dental Care Center.

Purpose: To assess whether a health education video increased prosthodontic treatment demand for replacing missing teeth compared to a traditional health education (IEC) leaflet among patients visiting a university dental care center in Saudi Arabia.

Materials And Methods: A nonrandomized educational intervention was conducted among patients with missing teeth. A total of 350 participants were divided equally into two health-education intervention groups: leaflet group and video group.
