Functional and aesthetical properties of single dental crowns. -

The aims of the study were to investigate functional and aesthetic properties, the composition of the alloy, and the content of hazardous elements of single dental crowns with metal skeleton and fired porcelain. Epoxy models made from full mouth impressions taken of a patient with a crown preparation of the right maxillary first permanent molar […]

Cobalt-chromium alloys in fixed prosthodontics: Investigations of mechanical properties and microstructure -

The results from the present study demonstrated higher mechanical properties for the laser-melted and presintered milled Co-Cr, followed by the cast and milled Co-Cr specimens. In general, the Ti6Al4V demonstrated higher mechanical properties compared with CpTi4. The high mechanical properties of the laser melted Co-Cr specimens compared with the other Co-Cr specimens were consistent with those of other studies.

Silver release from dentine treated with combinations of silver diamine fluoride, potassium iodide and etching -

For individuals with very high to extremely high caries activity and poor control of daily oral hygiene, a simple treatment for arresting their caries activity is necessary. Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) has become increasingly common for this purpose due to its efficacy and ease of application. To avoid or reduce tooth discoloration after SDF treatment […]

Deviations in the composition of alloys -

A recent NIOM study revealed several irregularities in single dental crowns. The PFM or porcelain-fired-on-metal crowns had been ordered from laboratories both within and outside of Norway.

Functional, compositional, and regulatory analyses of imported and non‐imported single dental crowns -

The aim of the study were to investigate functional and esthetic properties, the composition of the alloy, and the content of hazardous elements of single dental crowns with metal skeleton and fired porcelain.
