Wear of double crown systems: electroplated vs. casted female part

The wear of telescopic crowns is a common problem often reducing the patient's satisfaction with the denture and resulting in a renewal of the denture. The study aims to compare the wear behavior of conical crowns using electroplated copings (group E ) with standard telescopic crowns with cast female parts (group C).

Changes in retention force with electroplated copings on conical crowns: a comparison of gold and zirconia primary crowns

The aim of this study was to examine the wear behavior of conical crowns with electroplated gold copings that are used to connect implants and teeth to a removable denture. Gold alloy and zirconium dioxide ceramic crowns were compared.

Relative bone width of the edentulous maxillary ridge. Clinical implications of digital assessment in presurgical implant planning

Healthy, well-structured mucosa may clinically disguise atrophic jawbone in preimplant diagnosis.

[Prosthetic rehabilitation of a traumatic occlusion due to bulimia nervosa. Case report]

Because of the typical localisation of erosions in anorectic/bulimic patients, the dentist is frequently the first medical person to discern this general illness (anorexia and bulimia nervosa). From the dental viewpoint, the aim should be to preserve sound dental tissue and to prevent further toothwear. A restorative treatment is to be carried out only after causal therapy and after resolving the basic disease. By means of this procedure a good long-term prognosis can be expected. Considering the patient's young age, dentistry should be preservative using the adhesive technique. This case report documents the systematic procedure of the functional and esthetic rehabilitation of an eroded dentition and shows factors essential to the treatment.
