Material and methods: The marginal accuracy of a polymer-infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) material (Vita Enamic [VE]) was compared to two machinable glass ceramics; Zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate (Vita Suprinity [VS]) and a lithium disilicate glass ceramic (IPS e.max. CAD, IPS). 30 natural premolar teeth of average size were prepared (n=10 each group) by computer numerical control (CNC) to fulfill the criteria of all ceramic crown design. Optical impressions were taken for each tooth preparation using the CAD/CAM scanner. 30 crowns were milled from ceramic blocks based on the optical data. A total of 30 crowns were fabricated using CAD/CAM system, and divided into three groups (IPS e.max, VE and VS). The vertical marginal gap was measured using stereomicroscope before, after cementation and after thermo mechanical cyclic loading. Results: No statistically significant difference in vertical marginal gap within or between groups of three tested materials before, after cementation and after thermo mechanical cyclic loading. Conclusions: Vertical marginal adaptation of all tested ceramics was within the clinically acceptable values.","PeriodicalId":117944,"journal":{"name":"Al-Azhar Journal of Dental Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132496076","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}

Subjects and method: Sixty patients in the ulcerative stage of RAU were divided at random among two groups . Group I: Patients received topical 0.5% avocado gel three times daily for seven days. GroupII : Patients received topical placebo gel three times daily for seven days. The patients were examined at the time of initial visit before treatment administration and on the fourth and the seventh day of treatment. Results : The results showed that topical 0.5% avocado gel were more effective than placebo gel in the management of minor recurrent aphthous RAU ulceration as it reduces the pain after its application more than the placebo gel alone. Patients on 0.5% topical avocado gel therapy revealed less degree of erythema, decrease in ulcer size and healing period than patients on the placebo therapy.

In both groups, fixed functional appliances were installed for six months. Treatment outcomes were assessed by cephalograms taken immediately pre-and post-functional appliances therapy. Results : Intergroup comparisons of the mean treatment changes revealed significant improvements (P ≤ .05) in SNB°, SN-Pog°, Ar-Go-Me°, Co-Gn mm, B-Sv mm, Pog-Sv mm, S-Go mm, and lower lip advancement (Li-Sv mm and Pog’-Sv mm) in MPA-IV group. While in the PS group, there were significant greater decrease of SNA° and upper incisors retraction (P ≤ .05).

MPA-IV produces superior mandibular advancement and lower lip projection, while the effects of PS are mainly dentoalveolar changes.","PeriodicalId":117944,"journal":{"name":"Al-Azhar Journal of Dental Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125447772","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}
