Thus, the color stability of a restoration partially defines the success of this restoration over time. The most commonly used layering material is porcelain, which is in intimate contact with food and beverages in the oral cavity. Purpose: The purpose of this in-vitro study is to assess the color stability of two different layering porcelains after thermocycling in coffee, and then com-pare the color stability of these ceramics with each other. Materials and methods: Two blocks of E.max CAD shade A2 were cut in blue phase to have 40 identical 1 mm thick blocks (N = 40). The E.max blocks were then crystallized and a stainless steel device was manufactured, in which each block was inserted, and the layering ceramic was added to flare the outer edge of the device (2 mm of feldspathic porcelain in height). 20 blocks then received the type of ceramic E.max Ceram shade A1 (n = 20), and the other 20 the ceramic GC LiSi shade A1 (n = 20), then were placed in the furnace for firing and glazing according to the manufacturers’ recommendations. The blocks were numbered at the upper right corner with a red ring diamond bur of diameter 016 under water irrigation. Then, a 3D model was fabricated, in which each block was inserted in a cassette and reproducible points were recorded for each measurement. Using a spectrophotometer (Vita Easyshade Advance), 3 measurements L * a * b * of the color were taken for each block at time 0 (M1). All samples were then subjected to thermocycling (coffee at 55°C / distilled water at 5°C) for 1095 cycles simulating 1 year of clinical exposure to coffee. A second measurement (M2) is carried out, then the thermocycling continued until reaching 2190 cycles, at the end of which the third measurement (M3) was performed, and all the measurements transferred to Microsoft Excel software (2013). The L *, a * and b * data were then collected and the color change Δ E was calculated for each type of ceramic using the statistical software IBM SPSS Statistics (version 25.0). Results: A statistically significant difference in color was observed within the two groups, as well as between the types of ceramics. After 2190 cycles, 65% of E.max Ceram specimens were above the acceptable threshold while 90% of GC LiSi specimens were above the same threshold. Conclusion: The layering ceramics E.max Ceram and GC LiSi are both affected by coffee over time, but E.max Ceram seems much more stable than GC LiSi over 2 years of clinical simulation.","PeriodicalId":322244,"journal":{"name":"International Arab Journal of Dentistry","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134593671","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}

With the advances in technology and the introduction of new methods for non-surgical periodontal therapy, several procedures such as the removal of contaminated root cement have been ignored. As well, the use of antibiotic therapy as an adjunct to root scaling is a topic to be discussed. Surgery has long been compared to non-surgical methods as both treatments aim to control infection and to preserve the periodontium and teeth. Mechanical debridement and optimal plaque control remain essential for successful nonsurgical and surgical periodontal therapy.","PeriodicalId":322244,"journal":{"name":"International Arab Journal of Dentistry","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134531728","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}

Several studies have been conducted to compare the different properties of these two materials. However, most of these studies were laboratory “in vitro” studies. The aim of this work was to compare the properties and clinical behaviour of flexible resin prosthetic bases with those of conventional resin “in vivo”, once placed into the mouth, through a systematic review of the literature. Material and methods: The search was performed on MEDLINE via the PubMed consultation interface, using the following Boolean equation: ((“Flexible denture” [Mesh]) OR (“Polyamide denture” [Mesh])) AND (“Acrylic denture” [Mesh]). This search was supplemented by a manual search on “Google Scholars”. Results: Based on previously established inclusion and non-inclusion criteria, 23 clinical studies involving a total of 713 patients were selected (10 randomised control trials, 7 non-randomised controlled clinical trials and 6 cross-sectional studies). In 15 of the 23 included studies, the flexible prosthesis showed an advantage over the conventional prosthesis in almost all parameters evaluated and for the different types of edentulism. Conclusion: Polyamide prostheses are therefore an excellent alternative to conventional methyl methacrylate prostheses as they provide more comfort, aesthetics and overall patient satisfaction. Nevertheless, based on the mechanical properties of polyamide, the indication of this material for large partial or total edentulism is still limited.","PeriodicalId":322244,"journal":{"name":"International Arab Journal of Dentistry","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133918133","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 line between physiological wear and pathological wear is blurry, difficult to define. Careful observation of the facets can help to quantify the importance of the loss of substance accord-ing to the stage of wear, to identify the etiology by the type of wear, to better decode oral parafunctions by the situation of the wear compared to dental occlusion (mapping). Hence the objective of this work is to identify the different etiologies of dental wear depending on the type and degree of loss of substance and to possibly implement suitable therapeutic approaches.","PeriodicalId":322244,"journal":{"name":"International Arab Journal of Dentistry","volume":"25 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125739360","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}
