Materials & Methods: Twenty-eight implant analogs were embedded perpendicularly in an auto-polymerizing resin. Implant-supported restorations were designed then milled with CAD wax and divided into 2 groups according to material (n=14): Lithium disilicate and BioHPP. Each group was pressed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The marginal and internal adaptation of the specimens were analyzed using DOT & subtractive RET. Data were explored for normality using Shapiro-Wilk’s and Levene’s tests and were analyzed using independent and paired t-test for inter and intragroup comparisons respectively with a significance level of p<0.05. Agreement analysis was done using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: BioHPP screw-retained implant-supported crowns showed higher marginal gap than lithium disilicate, yet the difference was non-significant when measured using DOT, while it was significant when measured using sRET. Calculated agreement between the two techniques at the marginal level showed that there was a statistically significant moderate agreement between both methods. Regarding internal adpatation, BioHPP had a statistically significant higher internal gap than lithium disilicate group. Conclusions: Supra-structure material affected marginal and internal adaptation of implant-supported restorations. Pressed lithium disilicate crowns showed better marginal and internal adaptation than BioHPP crowns, however, both groups showed clinically acceptable results. DOT and RET were both relevant and showed moderate agreement between them.","PeriodicalId":11504,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian dental journal","volume":"15 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141702272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Materials and Methods: An edentulous patient with a high-arched palate was selected from the outpatient clinic, Department of Prosthetic Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Minia University. The patient was seeking complete denture treatment. Using the master cast in this case, thirty stone casts were duplicated, numbered, and randomly allocated to one of three study groups of 10 casts each. Thirty denture bases were constructed from the following materials to be as identical as possible: 10 of each of the following materials: conventional heat-cured resin, thermoformed resin, and milling resin by CAD/CAM. The retention of the produced denture bases was tested using a universal testing machine. Results : The thermoformed group displayed the highest numeric retention mean (5.576 N), followed by CAD/CAM (4.888 N) and the conventional method (3.232 N). There were statistically significant differences between all groups. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, it may be concluded that the thermoformed resin may be the most suitable material for high-arched palates, followed by CAD-CAM materials.

Materials and methods: Three separate 3D FE models were prepared to simulate mandibular implant overdentures with ball attachments. Each model was modified according to distal implant’s inclination (0, 15, and 25 degrees), while the midline implant was kept straight. Four loads were applied to the denture: clench, masseter, pterygoid, and temporal loads. The behavioral characteristics of the peri-implant bone and the implants were studied and recorded under the applied loads for the three implant inclinations. Results: According to the study, the stress distribution in the mandible varied depending on the implant inclination. The maximum stress observed on the mandible ranged from 19.1 to 36.1 MPa across all cases studied. As the implant inclination increased, the maximum stress and strain increased in both the mandible and implants. However, the rate of increase was found to be less pronounced at higher fixation angles. Conclusion: These findings suggest that implant inclination should be carefully considered to minimize stress and strain on the mandible and implants during treatment planning for implant-supported overdentures.","PeriodicalId":11504,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian dental journal","volume":"54 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141712658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cyclic fatigue testing utilized a specialized block simulating dental canals, following Grande et al.’s prescribed design. Lubricating oil flooded the artificial canals, and files were tested at specified RPM and torque until breakage, with recorded breakage times. Cutting efficiency testing involved using plexiglass blocks, and measuring the length of cut during 1 minute. A dedicated device facilitated testing, including an air compressor for debris clearance. Results: Data from both tests were collected and analyzed, revealing that Hyflex EDM files demonstrated superior resistance to cyclic fatigue compared to AF one files(p<0.001). However, AF one files exhibited higher cutting efficiency than Hyflex EDM (p= 0.001), with statistically significant differences in both results.
