SPSS 26 statistical program was used in the analysis of the data. The statistical significance level in the study was determined as p<0.05. A total of 85 patients and a total of 516 teeth, including premolars and molars, were included in the study.\u0000Results: A total of 128 teeth were processed in the right maxilla, and total retention was observed in 102 teeth. Right maxilla; When the left maxilla (p=0.001), left mandible (p=0.011), and right mandible (p=0.001) were compared in terms of total retention, a statistically significant difference was found. When the teeth are compared among themselves, the highest rate of a total loss of 50% is in teeth 26 and 47. When the teeth are evaluated according to age, teeth numbered 14 (p=0.001) and 24 (p=0.001) are 9 years old, teeth 35 (p=0.001) and 45 (p=0.001) are 9-10 years old, and teeth number 44 (0.012) At the age of 10, the percentage of total loss was higher than the other age groups, and a statistically significant difference was found. This suggests that the ideal isolation of the permanent premolars may not have been achieved since they do not fully erupt at the age of 9-10. \u0000Conclusion: When all the results were evaluated, it was seen that the retention of fissure sealants depended on multiple factors, and their indications should be carefully examined.","PeriodicalId":31322,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Clinical Dental Research Organization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79351120","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}

The resulting .dicom files were imported into the Mimics. Enamel, dentine and pulp were separated and extracted as an STL file. 4 different groups were determined and prepared in SolidWorks. The 3D images were imported into the relevant finite element analysis software (ABAQUS), and a load of 600 N was applied at the occlusal area of each model in the axial direction. Models are divided into 3 groups according to material type: Vita Suprinity (VS; VITA Zahnfabrik), Cerasmart (CS; GC Corp.), and Shofu Block HC (SB; Shofu). There is also a type of cement is used: RelyX ARC (3M ESPE).\u0000Results: Regardless of the results, any stresses on any tissue or restoration were not above the strength limits. In models with cusp preparation, the stress on the dental tissues was lower. In addition, higher stress was generally observed in groups where the lingual area was healthy. On the other hand, the stress occurring in zirconia-reinforced glass ceramics (VS) is higher compared to ceramic materials with a resin matrix (CS, SB). It has been determined that the stress transmitted to the supporting tissues is lower.\u0000Conclusion: As a result, endocrown restorations can be used in the restoration of endodontically treated first molars. In addition, when endocrown restoration is applied to molars with only one healthy area and excessive loss of coronal structure, reducing the cusp will be beneficial in terms of the distribution of stress on the healthy tissues.

This condition is defined as relapse. The retention phase applied after treatment is important to obtain stable results. Periodontium, soft tissue pressures, growth and occlusion are among the factors affecting stability. In the last decade, interest in retention procedures has increased and it has been found that retention regimes differ from country to country. Although retention affects nearly every patient, there is minimal agreement on the most appropriate approach to be taken in an individual case. The many variations of the retention procedure, the introduction of different materials for retention, or individual patient factors are among the reasons that lead to difficulties in selecting retention protocols. Basic retention protocol is provided with removable and fixed retention appliances. For removable retention, hawley, wraparound, vacuum formed retention appliance and positioners are used. For fixed retention, rigid steel retention wire bonded to terminal teeth or flexible retention wires bonded to all teeth between 3-3 can be preferred. NiTi retention wires produced with CAD / CAM technology are also among the current materials. While fixed retention appliances do not require patient cooperation, periodontal follow-up is recommended. Patient cooperation is needed for the use of removable retention appliances, but easy cleaning of removable appliances is an advantage. ‘Adjunct’ procedures may also be applied to the teeth or surrounding periodontium to assist the retention process. For example, it involves reshaping teeth such as interproximal reduction or circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy.

Currently, increase in esthetic demands has increased the use of tooth-colored post systems. The aim of this study was to evaluate compression-shear strength after the application of different resin cements and different surface treatments to zirconia post-cores produced by the CAD-CAM milling technique.\u0000Methodology: One hundred twenty crown parts of maxillary central incisors were cut using a 2-mm enamel–cement joint using a water-cooled diamond bur in an air turbine handpiece at 300,000 rpm. Root canals with the same diameter were prepared using Gates-Glidden drills and Snowpost system drills. According to the enlarged canal, zirconia posts were prepared by the CAD-CAM copy-milling technique, and the zirconia post surfaces were roughened by different techniques (hydrofluoric acid, Al2O3 partial abrasion, CoJet silica coating). The roughened posts were cemented to the tooth canal using three resin cements: 10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP)-containing cement, Bis-GMA-based resin, and resin-based adhesive. As the control group, the zirconia post surfaces with no application were fixed using three resin cements. The specimens were set down into 25x25x25 mm fabricated blocks with acrylic resin materials. Compression-shear strength tests of the prepared samples were conducted on the Instron Testing Machine by using appropriate equipment.\u0000Results: In summary, the combination of roughening techniques such as Al2O3 partial etching and CoJet silica coating using cement-containing MDP rendered the highest compression-shear strength.\u0000Conclusion: This in vitro study proposes the cementation of zirconia post-cores etched by Cojet silica coating and Al2O3 particles using MDP-containing resin cement.\u0000 \u0000How to cite this article: \u0000Eskitaşçıoğlu M, Toprak Gündüz D, Seyfioğlu Polat Z, Göncü Başaran E, Ayna E.
