After the interim removable restoration is esthetically and functionally accepted by the patient and dentist, it can be used as a surgical guide during implant placement as well as a guide for abutment selection, framework design, and fabrication. The concepts used in the fabrication of the cross-mounting buccal index include having a reference point, maintaining the vertical dimension of occlusion, and supplying the ability for cross mounting. This procedure allows the clinician to use a duplicate of the interim restoration to select the abutments and fabricate the framework without a new denture setup. It also accelerates both patient chairtime and laboratory time, and it enhances the prosthodontic outcome.","PeriodicalId":185384,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of prosthetic dentistry","volume":"319 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"119307806","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}

Controls were not exposed to LPS. Teflon (Tf) (+/- LPS) served as the material control. Treated alloys were transferred to THP-1 human monocytes for 24 hours or placed into phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution for 120 hours before monocyte exposure. Monocyte activation was assessed by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) secretion into the medium. Alloys without LPS, with LPS but without PBS elution, and with LPS and elution were compared with ANOVA and Turkey intervals (alpha=.05).\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000Specimens without LPS exposure but with elution caused no detectable TNF-alpha secretion from monocytes. Specimens without elution into PBS caused low-to-moderate TNF-alpha secretion, indicating a possible false-positive result from the alloy conditioning solution used. After LPS exposure but no elution, high levels of TNF-alpha were found. When alloys were eluted for 120 hours after LPS exposure, there was no detectable TNF-alpha released.\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000In this in vitro system as in past studies, LPS appeared to adhere to and elute from the alloys. Monocytes were activated initially but not after elution into PBS for 120 hours. Alloy conditioning solutions may also have an artifactual effect on cytokine release.","PeriodicalId":185384,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of prosthetic dentistry","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128201213","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}

Tooth preparations for complete veneer cast crowns were completed with a chamfer finish line. A mesial surface class II cavity preparation 4 mm wide buccolingually and 2 mm deep was made in each tooth. Seven restorative groups were formed: amalgam/cavity varnish, amalgam/dentinal bonding agent, and composite/dentinal bonding agent, each with dry and contaminated groups, and a seventh group of class II cavity preparations without foundations. Finish lines for crown margins were refined 1.5 mm gingival to the restoration. Artificial crowns were cast in type III gold. Treatment groups were divided into 4 cement groups: dry and contaminated zinc phosphate cement and dry and contaminated resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement. The specimens were thermocycled and immersed in erythrosine B solution for 24 hours. Subsequently, they were rinsed, and their coronal portions were embedded in clear resin. Teeth were sectioned mesiodistally, and standard photomicrographs were made. The microleakage of each restoration and crown was measured.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000The least foundation microleakage was recorded for amalgam/dentinal bonding agents (ideal group) and composite/dentinal bonding agents (ideal group). The most microleakage was observed within the group without a foundation. In cement groups, the control and experiment sides were evaluated separately but displayed the same order of finding. The least leakage was recorded with resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement (ideal group); the most microleakage was noted with zinc phosphate cement (ideal group). An interaction was demonstrated on the experimental side between cements and the foundations (P=.0001).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSION\u0000Within the experimental conditions of this study, less microleakage was recorded with resin-reinforced glass ionomer cement (ideal or contaminated) than with zinc phosphate cement (ideal or contaminated). There also was less microleakage evident with a foundation of silver amalgam or composite when a dentinal bonding agent was used under ideal conditions.","PeriodicalId":185384,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of prosthetic dentistry","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124575428","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}

Abutments of several lengths screwed at 20 N/cm were used to conduct PT measurements and the PT values (PTVs) were related to the insertion torque force, the bone density, and implant and abutment length. The results indicated that high correlations exist between PTVs and insertion torque force (R value -0.74579), and PTVs and bone density (R value -0.83031).
